9. David Bowie – Diamond Dogs

Posted by Bill Rippel on November 04, 2020 - 1:50am

Year: 1974
Record label: RCA
Worth Today: $3,500*

David Bowie was an iconic artist who constantly pushed the boundaries of his craft over the course of his glittering career. By the time he passed away in 2016, he had built a solid legacy of over 28 releases. One of his most popular works was 1974’s Diamond Dogs, which featured the track “Rebel Rebel.” 

David Bowie’s biographer, Chris O’Leary, said that Diamond Dogs was a combination of all the projects that Bowie had envisioned. There were references in Diamond Dogs to George Orwell’s 1984. Ziggy Stardust, as a musical, was also thrown into Diamond Dogs, making the record an artistic, futuristic, and visionary project. 

Although anyone can get their hands on the songs, it’s one particular vinyl album cover that’s worth a pretty penny. If you’ve got one with a picture of Bowie on it as a half-dog, half-man by the artist Guy Peellaert, you’ve got a rare beauty on your hands that could be worth over $3,500.

Simon Keighley Diamond Dogs was a great album by Bowie, Bill - I used to have this album on cassette - played it like crazy in my first car. I wish I had this particular vinyl album. Thanks for sharing.
