David Bowie‘s 1974 album Diamond Dogs will be reissued in celebration of its 50th anniversary on May 24.

Diamond Dogs will be issued as a limited edition 50th anniversary half-speed mastered LP and a picture disc LP pressed from the same master.

Bowie’s landmark single “Rebel Rebel” appeared in a remixed form on his eighth and most musically adventurous album, Diamond Dogs.

The single reached No. 5 in the U.K. and the album would also reach similar heights on both sides of the Atlantic, reaching No. 1 in the U.K. and No. 5 in the US.

This new pressing of Diamond Dogs was cut on a customized late Neumann VMS80 lathe with fully recapped electronics from 192kHz restored masters of the original master tapes, with no additional processing on transfer. The half-speed was cut by John Webber at AIR Studios.

Diamond Dogs 50th Anniversary Half Speed Mastered LP and Diamond Dogs 50th Anniversary Picture Disc LP are available on Parlophone.
