Released yesterday 33 years ago:

🇬🇧 Morrissey "Beethoven Was Deaf" – 1993

Recorded live during the Your Arsenal tour, the album captures Morrissey in a forceful and highly confident phase, backed by a band that gives the songs a harder, more driving edge than their studio counterparts and a strong crowd atmosphere throughout...

🇬🇧 David Bowie "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars" – 1972

A landmark concept album that transformed Bowie into an international phenomenon. Blending glam rock theatrics with sharp songwriting and futuristic storytelling, the record follows the rise and collapse of the alien rock-star figure Ziggy Stardust...

Released today 33 years ago:

🇬🇧 New Order "Republic" – 1993

A more polished and not that good release where electronic textures meet a smoother, almost pop-leaning production.
The underlying melancholy remains. Bernard Sumner’s vocals sit front and center, guiding songs that balance introspection with radio-friendly appeal...

🇬🇧 Peter Gabriel "Sledgehammer" – 1986

Released today 39 years ago:

🇬🇧 David Bowie "Never Let Me Down" – 1987

His worst release ever - but beneath the surface, there’s still ambition: Songs that touch on isolation, politics, and personal reflection though often framed in expansive, radio-oriented structures. Bowie’s vocal remains committed and expressive, even within the dense production...

Released today 53 years ago.

🇬🇧 David Bowie "Aladdin Sane" – 1973

A flamboyant and fractured follow-up to Ziggy Stardust, often described as “Ziggy goes to America.” The album blends glam rock swagger with avant-garde touches, most notably Mike Garson’s dissonant, jazz-influenced piano work that cuts sharply through the arrangements...
