Pinups finds David Bowie at the end of the Ziggy era, stepping back to pay tribute to the London club scene that shaped him, and this CD edition carries the 2015 remaster.

Released in 1973, it was a covers album built from songs he'd heard in the mid-1960s, when the city's beat groups and mod bands were rewriting the rules. It was also the final studio outing with Mick Ronson and Trevor Bolder from the Spiders from Mars, with Aynsley Dunbar stepping in on drums. Bowie and Ken Scott produced it in France, and the result is loud, affectionate and a little mischievous.

Ronson's guitar is all over these tracks, turning the Pretty Things' "Rosalyn" into a strutting opener and giving the Easybeats' "Friday on My Mind" a manic edge. Pink Floyd's "See Emily Play" goes woozy and theatrical, while "Sorrow," originally a hit for the Merseys, became one of Bowie's most loved singles of the period thanks to its gentle sax and sighing strings.

The 2015 remaster sharpens all of it without losing the glam sheen.

It's a fun detour that tells you a lot about where Bowie came from. Think of it as his personal mixtape, made by someone with impeccable taste and a band on fire.
