David Bowie: Let's Dance versie op vinyl LP in remastered editie. Deze specifieke uitgave werd uitgebracht in Europa en VS bij uitgeverij Parlophone op 15. februari 2019.

More than 32 years ago, a song that David Bowie collaborated on with a posh gentleman, accompanied by a haunting guitar solo by a guy called Stevie Ray, topped the UK singles chart. "Let's Dance" was the title track of Bowie's debut album for EMI Records, which was originally supposed to be produced by longtime Bowie collaborator Tony Visconti, who was replaced on the project a little later than he probably should have been. (When Visconti checked in with Bowie's assistant about the status of the project, he got the bad news that Rodgers and Bowie had been working together for a fortnight, that things were going well, and that his services wouldn't be needed after all. Ouch.) Still, the end result was surely the super-commercial affair EMI had hoped for, having reportedly paid $17.5 million for Bowie's services to its label: Let's Dance topped the charts in the UK, Australia and a number of other European countries, and when it reached number four in the US, Bowie's album Station to Station charted in the Top 5 of the Billboard Top 200 for the first time since 1976. As for the single, "Let's Dance" did something no Bowie single had done before or ever will do again: it topped both the UK and US singles charts. Many people were also introduced to the guitar artistry - or, if you prefer, the guitar playing (but we know you weren't, and we don't blame you) - of Stevie Ray Vaughn, whose paths crossed with Bowie's after the guitarist performed at the 1982 Montreux Jazz Festival and - in Bowie's own words - "totally killed off" Thin White Duke. The result was Vaughn's performance of "Let's Dance," in case you're always wondering who plays the solo at the end of the song. Now that you know, you should listen to the song again and ask yourself why you didn't figure it out sooner.
