7th March 2025 marks the 50th anniversary of the release of David Bowie's ninth studio album, Young Americans.
On the exact day of its Golden Jubilee, Young Americans will be issued as a limited edition 50th anniversary half-speed mastered LP and a picture disc LP with a poster pressed from the same master.
The album saw Bowie broaden his musical horizons once more, embracing what he called 'Plastic Soul' and would give Bowie his first number one single in the U.S., ‘Fame’, co-written with John Lennon and Bowie's then guitarist, Carlos Alomar.
