Pin Ups  by David Bowie

The album Pin Ups becomes the seventh album for David Bowie. David Bowie records Pin Ups in France, having with him guitarist Mick Ronson and bassist Trevor Bolder from The Spiders From Mars, while in production we have Bowie's last collaboration with producer Ken Scott.

Pin Ups contains twelve cover songs that were favorite songs of David Bowie during his adolescence and early youth. The truth is that the album did not leave the best of impressions. The album would come six months after Aladdin Sane and this was done to annoy the creator's people at RCA Records. Among the songs Bowie chooses to cover are See Emily Play by Pink Floyd, Friday On My Mind by the Easybeats, and Sorrow by the Merseybeats, which was the one and only single from the album.

On the cover, we see David Bowie together with Twiggy, who was a famous model of those years, especially in the second half of the 1960s. The photo was taken somewhere in Paris between the recordings of the album and was intended for the cover of the fashion magazine Vogue. Eventually, it was found on the Pin Ups album cover, something that infuriated the people of the magazine.
