Collectible David Bowie Picture Discs

Looking for David Bowie picture discs to add to your collection? Are you a serious Bowie fan? Looking to start a picture disc record collection?

If you've answered yes to any of the above questions you've come to the right place! David Bowie picture disc record albums are some of the most sought after picture discs today and with good reason, they are highly collectible, they appeal to a huge fan base, and the photos on them are awesome.

After several attempts in the early 60's, David Bowie rose to fame on the UK pop charts in 1969 with the release of his first album titled David Bowie that contained a little ditty called Space Oddity, timed to coincide with the lunar space landing. 

Space Oddity was later re-released on an album of the same name in 1972.  The Thin White Duke has been creating  music, and recreating himself and his sound, over and over again in all of the years since.

In 2002, David Bowie was ranked 29 in a poll of the 100 Greatest Britons and in 2004 he ranked 39 in the Rolling Stone magazine list of 100 Greatest Rock Artists of All Time.  There is no question about the popularity and the staying power of collectibility of Bowie's picture disc record albums.

His fame also includes acting and there are several picture discs that were made to promote his movies.

Read on to learn more about collecting David Bowie picture discs and to find some great additions to your picture disc record album collection. 

Pricing Picture Discs

 As with all collectibles, picture disc pricing depends on the condition of the album, album cover and demand.

David Bowie has a huge fan base and picture discs of his albums are coveted by a large audience making them a good investment.

Standard record quality ranking applies to picture discs with Mint being the best and poor being the worst quality. 

As a collector you will want to look for mint discs in unplayed and unopened packaging condition preferrably previously stored in a smoke-free environment.

If you are a David Bowie fan, picture disc albums of lesser quality are still suitable for collecting and open packages make for beautiful displays when the albums are framed.

I recommend that everyone stay away from poor quality picture discs as these are not a good investment.

Pricing varies and can be determined best by using a record album price guide, or by watching "David Bowie Picture Disc" searches over a period of time at an auctiion site like ebay.com.

Remember When?

Scratchy records and the radio used to be our only source of music. Today unscratched records that survived those many hours on the turntable are valuable.
