Released December 17, 1971. Hunky Dory Tracklist. Hunky Dory gave me a fabulous groundswell. I guess it provided me, for the first time in my life, with an actual audience – I mean, people actually coming up to me and saying, ‘Good album, good songs. That hadn’t happened to me before. It was like, ‘ Ah, I’m getting it, I’m finding my feet.

When David Bowie began writing songs for Hunky Dory, in 1970, he had little to show for the six years he spent trying to make it as a singer. His first three albums had tanked, and he didn’t have a record deal. Then, in January 1971, Bowie arrived in the United States for a three-week promotional tour, a journey that broadened his universe and inspired his first great artistic statement. The whole Hunky Dory album reflected my newfound enthusiasm for this new continent that had been opened up to me, Bowie said in 1999.

Hunky Dory is the fourth album by English singer-songwriter David Bowie, recorded in the summer of 1971 and released by RCA Records that December. The album has received critical acclaim since its release, and is regarded as one of Bowie's best works.

Notes

A-side label is " Perry Como - And I Love You So" 1973.
The release date is quite unsure because the label of Perry Como comes from 1973, so it could be 1973 pressing.

Non-laminated sleeve.
Includes a 2-sided lyrics insert.
Inner sleeve has black text with Patent No. and "Made In England".

Notes

Very early pressing with Titanic/Chrysalis credits (no Mainman on labels or on sleeve). Unlaminted sleeve has GEM logo on rear. Front cover photo has strong greenish hue.
Essentially the same as David Bowie - Hunky Dory except that the matrix numbers are different.
