{"product_id":"david-bowie-heroes-lp-812026","title":"David Bowie - Heroes - LP","description":"\u003cp\u003eDavid Bowie's \"Heroes,\" released in 1977, stands as a compelling fusion of art-rock and ambient electronics that helped shape post-punk and electronic music for years to come. The album’s title track \"Heroes\" draws its emotional power from a moment witnessed by producer Tony Visconti near the Berlin Wall, capturing a fleeting act of defiance and hope. The first side of the record moves between the jagged energy of \"Beauty And The Beast\" and the punk-inflected drive of \"Joe The Lion,\" while the second side unfolds into atmospheric instrumentals like \"Sense Of Doubt\" and \"Neuköln\" that evoke the tense, shadowy mood of Cold War-era Berlin. Bowie’s spontaneous songwriting approach here—composing lyrics on the spot—adds a raw immediacy to the performances. This 1977 pressing offers a chance to experience the album as it was heard closer to its original moment. The vinyl is graded \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shoptheden.com\/blogs\/news\/how-we-grade-vinyl-records-at-the-den\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eVG+\u003c\/a\u003e, with a bit more noticeable wear and some pops specifically on track A2, which might keep you on your toes during \"Joe The Lion.\" For those navigating Bowie’s late ’70s Berlin period, this pressing is a practical choice that balances historical context with playable condition. It’s a record that invites you to explore the edges of Bowie’s experimental side without needing to hunt for mint condition. After all, not every hero wears a perfect shine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003csection data-track-listing=\"true\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTrack listing \u0026amp; samples\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDavid Bowie - Heroes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide A\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeauty And The Beast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJoe The Lion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeroes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSons Of The Silent Age\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlackout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide B\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eV-2 Schneider\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSense Of Doubt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMoss Garden\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeuköln\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Secret Life Of Arabia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sample-embeds\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sample-embed\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/videoseries?list=PLL1ZJvW8jPWfiCwN57VW3hTVtbBshVHEO\" allowfullscreen loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;min-height:152px;border:0;border-radius:12px;\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sample-embed\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/0qpzxL4YpzT3w0KxoIMtpX\" allow=\"encrypted-media\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;min-height:152px;border:0;border-radius:12px;\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Den Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"VG+ (VG++ EXCEPT FOR POPS ON TRACK A2) \/ VG+ \/ 1977","offer_id":53954241331516,"sku":"13325932605832","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0694\/9932\/2684\/files\/OC0zNzY3LmpwZWc.jpg?v=1785625969","url":"https:\/\/shoptheden.com\/products\/david-bowie-heroes-lp-812026","provider":"The Den New Hope PA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
