It was his last studio album with the bulk of 'The Spiders from Mars', his backing band throughout his Ziggy Stardust phase; Mick Woodmansey was replaced on drums by Aynsley Dunbar. ''Pin Ups'' entered the UK chart on 3 November 1973 (coincidentally the same day as Bryan Ferry's covers album ''These Foolish Things'') and stayed there for 21 weeks, peaking at No. 1. It re-entered the chart on 30 April 1983, this time for fifteen weeks, peaking at No. 57. In July 1990, it again entered the chart, for one week, at No. 52. A version of The Velvet Underground's "White Light/White Heat" was recorded during the sessions. It was never released; Bowie donated the backing track to Mick Ronson for his 1975 album ''Play Don't Worry''. The cover image shows Bowie with supermodel Twiggy. ==Concept== According to co-producer Ken Scott, the LP was originally conceived as "a complete opposite of () other albums", consisting of all cover songs except one original composition, and mainly turned towards the US market since "he wanted to do songs that weren't known as well in the States as they were in England", yet eventually the plan was dropped. ''Pin Ups'' was the first of two "1960s nostalgia" albums that Bowie had planned to release. The second, which was planned to be called "Bowie-ing Out," would have contained Bowie covering his favourite American artists, but was never recorded. Bowie also apparently considered making a ''Pin Ups'' sequel: he had compiled a list of songs he wanted to cover, some of which showed up on his later releases of ''Heathen'' (2002) and ''Reality'' (2003). In the album booklet, Bowie himself describes ''Pin Ups'' as: 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pin Ups」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
