David Bowie was the eponymous debut album for David Bowie, released in 1967 on Deram Records. It was produced by Mike Vernan at Decca Studios in London. It was recorded from November of 1966 until February of 1967, where it sat on a shelf until June of ’67. The style of David Bowie’s first album doesn’t really resemble his later Ziggy Stardust music at all.

NME, a music publication, later said that, compared to his later work, David Bowie was “quaint” and “shocking” because of that. David Buckley, Bowie’s biographer, stated that this vinyl album was the music equivalent of a “madwoman in [an] attic.”
