Additional InformationDeparting from the glam/sci-fi mode of his previous efforts, the album showcases the growing influence of soul & R&B.

Reviews4 stars out of 5 -- "The title song might be Bowie's best ever, with the rhythm inspiring his most passionate love letter to his fans.", 5 Stars - Indispensable - "From '75, 'Young Americans' saw Bowie abandon the mock-apocalyptic rock of his previous three LPs to climb aboard the Philadelphia soul train sound, 'Young Americans'' 'relentless plastic soul', as Bowie dubbed it, harnessed his writing to the feverish light funk which would, in a few years' time, mutate into world-conquering disco...", 4 stars out of 5 -- "For one album only, he swooped, strutted and sang lyrics like, 'sho'nuff', all of it convincing. He even sneaked in some big ideas...", "With waves of R&B vocal-backing, crests of crunchy sax work from David Sanborn and, of course, Bowie's affected-yet-restrained blues croonery.", 4 stars out of 5 - "...Bowie's first outright dabble with 'plastic soul' (his description) and provisionally entitled 'Dancin', was trademarked by floppy fringe and smart, tailored jacket, but the balmy guitar of Carlos Alomar is its true signature..."

quality reissue
heavyweight vinyl, lyrics, extra protective inner sleeve, nice reworking of the original RCA orange label, great remastered sound, this re-issue is a really nice item. If you live outside the U.S, you can't buy a second hand copy of this album as cheaply as you can this new issue, so unless you are determined to have an original pressing on that inferior quality mid 1970s vinyl, this is a no-brainer ! Did I mention that it's a great album also ?

Young Americans
Good weight vinyl + good design: the centre label sticker looks like the original record label but spells Bowie instead!

Nice album
My rating reflects the fact that the album wasn't sealed as stated in the advert. Otherwise good.
