David Bowie returned to relatively conventional rock & roll with Scary Monsters, reworking glam rock themes with avant-garde synth flourishes, and reversing the process as well, creating a dense but accessible set.
Though it doesn't have the vision of his other classic records, it wasn't designed to break new ground -- it was created as the culmination of Bowie's experimental genre-shifting of the '70s.

LABELS: NEAR MINT
Clean, unmarked labels - one/two light spindle traces per side
VINYL Visual: NEAR MINT
Both surfaces shine like-new with nothing but light and harmless brush marks/hairlines
VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT
Crystal clear, sharp, rich and finely detailed sound - impressively recorded and engineered and my play-check at volume found nothing to fault
SLEEVE: NEAR MINT
A fine example - little wear to speak of - all edges are crisp, square and unworn and all spine text is clear and bold
INSERT: MINT
The gatefold lyric insert looks untouched
