A limited-edition, gold-vinyl pressing of David Bowie's classic 1975 album, Young Americans is being released on September 18^th to celebrate the record's 45th anniversary.

Young Americans was Bowie’s ninth studio album and marked a departure from the glam rock style he had become synonymous with. By incorporating elements of soul and R&B into the eight-track collection – recorded in Philadelphia and New York with producer Tony Visconti and a variety of musicians, including guitarist Carlos Alomar – Bowie developed a sound he would later describe as “plastic soul.” The album produced two hit singles, the title track and the John Lennon co-write, “Fame” which gave Bowie his first US #1 in September of 1975.
