DIAMOND DOGS ALBUM INFO

Diamond Dogs album cover Artist: David Bowie
Album: Diamond Dogs
Release Date: 28 Sep 1999

''Diamond Dogs'' is a concept album by David Bowie, originally released by RCA Records|RCA in 1974. Thematically it was a marriage of the novel ''Nineteen Eighty-Four|1984'' by George Orwell and Bowie's own glam-tinged vision of a post-apocalyptic world. Bowie had wanted to make a theatrical production of Orwell's book and began writing material after completing sessions for his 1973 album ''Pin Ups'', but the late author’s estate denied the rights.<ref name="Strange Fascination">David Buckley (1999). ''Strange Fascination - David Bowie: The Definitive Story'': pp.210-217</ref> The songs wound up on the second half of ''Diamond Dogs'' instead where, as the titles indicate, the ''1984'' theme was prominent.

Production and style
Though the album was recorded and released after the 'retirement' of Ziggy Stardust in mid-1973, and featured its own lead character in Halloween Jack ("a real cool cat" who lived in the decaying "Hunger City"), Ziggy was seen to be still very much alive in ''Diamond Dogs'', as evident from Bowie's haircut on the cover and the glam-trash style of the first single "Rebel Rebel".<ref name="Strange Fascination" /> As was the case with some songs on ''Aladdin Sane'', the influence of The Rolling Stones was also prevalent, particularly in the chugging Diamond Dogs (song)|title track.<ref>
