DAVID BOWIE - 'METROBOLIST’ (AKA ‘THE MAN WHO SOLD THE WORLD') 50th ANNIVERSARY EDITION
REMIXED BY TONY VISCONTI WITH ARTWORK BASED ON ORIGINAL TITLE & DESIGN
RELEASED 6th NOVEMBER, 2020 ON LIMITED VINYL AND CD FORMATS, ALSO FOR STREAMING AND DOWNLOAD AT STANDARD AND HIGH RESOLUTION DOWNLOAD (96kHz/24bit)
Parlophone Records is proud to announce release details for METROBOLIST (aka THE MAN WHO SOLD THE WORLD) 50th ANNIVERSARY EDITION to be released on 6th NOVEMBER, 2020.
This November sees the 50th Anniversary of the release of David Bowie’s The Man Who Sold The World in North America. The rest of the world would have to wait until April 1971 to witness Bowie’s landmark entry into the 1970s, marking the beginning of a collaboration with guitarist Mick Ronson that would last through classic works including Hunky Dory, Ziggy Stardust and Aladdin Sane—as well as the first in a 10-year series of indispensable albums stretching through 1980’s Scary Monsters…
Originally titled Metrobolist, the album's name was changed at the last minute to The Man Who Sold The World -- the original stereo master tapes were in fact labelled Metrobolist, with the title ultimately crossed out. The 2020 re-release of the album under its Metrobolist moniker has been remixed by original producer Tony Visconti, with the exception of the track ‘After All’ which Tony considered perfect as is, and is featured in its 2015 remaster incarnation.
The Metrobolist 50th anniversary artwork has been created by Mike Weller who was behind the originally intended album artwork which Mercury refused to release. The gatefold sleeve also features many images from the infamous Keith MacMillan Mr Fish ‘dress’ shoot at Haddon Hall which would cause so much controversy when one of the shots was used on the cover of the The Man Who Sold The World album in the rest of the world in spring of 1971.
The original U.S. release of The Man Who Sold The World utilised some of the original Metrobolist design elements.
As with the Space Oddity 50th anniversary vinyl, as well as a 180g black vinyl edition, it will come in 2020 limited edition handwritten numbered copies on gold vinyl (# 1971 - 2020) and on white vinyl (# 1 - 1970) all randomly distributed.
For the 50th anniversary the 1970 story of the gatefold sleeve can be told in full with unused ‘dress’ photos. As Mike Weller explains:
“There is a story concealed in the carpet-scattered playing cards, David has thrown a plain 52 card deck in the air as though “casting the runes” but in a significant break from 60s Tarot divinations such as I Ching etc he casts runes using a four-suit pack and switches man-dress, along with the Court Card of the Future from right hand to left, signifying a new decade and new cultural era.”
David personally delivered the Metrobolist concept and his gatefold plan to the record company for production and now with this release, it can finally be seen much closer to its original concept. Bowie speaking in 2000 said of the sleeve imagery:
"Mick Weller devised this kind of very subversive looking cartoon and put in some quite personalised things. The building in the background on the cartoon in fact was the hospital where my half brother had committed himself to. So for me, it had lots of personal resonance about it.”

David Bowie...Always ahead of the curve...light years ahead
Quite an extraordinary performance...He is looking at me..As one comment says "How did he do that, merely looking into a camera but actually staring straight into my soul"
It's got three of my faves of his, Silly Boy Blue, Love You Till Tuesday and When I Live My Dream, which are among the early ones that stand up with his best material, in my opinion, along with curious creations, like Rubber Band . . .
I like the official lyrics videos. They’ve helped me a few times with misheard words and as much as I like official promo films, they’ve sometimes replaced this listener’s mental official promo films with less interesting images. This problem doesn’t occur when watching official lyrics vids. ☺️
Ok, everyone's seen Bowies 1976 mugshot...this version has been retouched, not by me.
I do however have this image (the right hand half) printed on a white Raw Power T-shirt and it's one of my faves. It has a red screen printed, semi-transparent brush stroke running across Bowie's eyes and it always gets a look.
I've got a few Raw Power T's, Jimi Hendrix, Frank Sinatra, Dennis Hopper, Sid Vicious, they really are fantastic quality, seemingly indestructible, washed a million times and still keep their shape and look good...Definitely recommend them, if you can still get them.
Totally agree Paul and one of the reasons I love this thread. It's not a bad little 'vault' of Bowie memorabilia we're documenting here, with some diverse, different and some quite hard to find stuff in here...So, let's keep it growing and I think it will become quite a worthy little archive in it's own right, for people to look at many years into the future, hopefully.

Bowie Etched Saucepan (Worldwide 1 of 1) £450 hmmmm...
https://www.bowiegallery.com/product/bowie-etched-saucepan-worldwide-1-of-1
Been wondering if the interestingly catchy song 'I'm A Moody Guy' by Shane Fenton might've been what David Bowie referenced with the "moody guy" appearance in the lyrics of the song 'Yassassin.' If so, it's certainly more subtle than, say, the quote of The Shadows classic 'Apache' in the song 'Where Does The Grass Grow?'
Ok, everyone's seen Bowies 1976 mugshot...this version has been retouched, not by me.
I do however have this image (the right hand half) printed on a white Raw Power T-shirt and it's one of my faves. It has a red screen printed, semi-transparent brush stroke running across Bowie's eyes and it always gets a look.
I've got a few Raw Power T's, Jimi Hendrix, Frank Sinatra, Dennis Hopper, Sid Vicious, they really are fantastic quality, seemingly indestructible, washed a million times and still keep their shape and look good...Definitely recommend them, if you can still get them.
