David Bowie returned to relatively conventional rock & roll with Scary Monsters, an album that effectively acts as an encapsulation of all his '70s experiments.
Reworking glam rock themes with avant-garde synth flourishes, and reversing the process as well, Bowie creates dense but accessible music throughout Scary Monsters.
Though it doesn't have the vision of his other classic records, it wasn't designed to break new ground -- it was created as the culmination of Bowie's experimental genre-shifting of the '70s

VINYL Visual: NEAR MINT/MINT-
Both surfaces shine like-new - under bright light a glossy mirror like reflection with just one/two wispy sleeve removal hairlines if that!
VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT
Outstanding audio quality throughout with a crystal clear, deep, rich and detailed sound - beautifully recorded and engineered with a nice loud cut and my play-check at volume found no issues of any kind during the music itself.
SLEEVE: EX
A fine example - no major wear to speak of other than some very light and minor ring wear. All edges are straight, square and unworn, minor corner wear. Very small/faint sticker residue top right corner.
