an awesome awesome record

Diamond Dogs is an awesome awesome record, it is one of David's best (with Ziggy Stardust). There are some instant classics (Rebel Rebel, 1984 that have been released in almost any Bowie's anthology), and there are several less known, but equally phenomenal songs--rock and roll with me, we are the dead, and so on.

the album is very well put together, the music is very good and the lyrics are as visionary, intriguing, captivating as they had been on Ziggy Stardust. Just listen to diamond dogs (when they pulled you out of the oxygen tent,...), or we are the dead (sometihng kind of hit me today...). Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. It's worth listening a million times.

NO DOG HERE!!!!!!

What a great album, Candidate, 1984, We Are the Dead.....this is a most Bowie album. As good as it gets, probably the highlight of his career. The only thing missing from this album was Mick Ronson. Buy it!!!!!!!!!!!

Why couldn't the packaging match "Ziggy" and "Aladdin"?

Somehow I've managed to find the Rykodisc for $8.99. The Ziggy and Aladdin packages were beautiful mini-books. But someone had to screw the idea up by putting "Diamond Dogs" in a slipcase. And from what I saw in the record store, the Live and Stage CDs are even tougher to deal with on the shelf. Too bad, Virgin, you could have made a lot more money from me if you did this right.
