David Bowie – "Heroes" (Vinyl LP, 1977, RCA / RCA Victor AFL1-2522, Waddell Pressing)

Why This Record Matters
"Heroes" is the second album in David Bowie’s Berlin Trilogy, recorded at Hansa Studios with Tony Visconti and Brian Eno. Robert Fripp contributed lead guitar, including his distinctive work on the title track, while Carlos Alomar, George Murray, and Dennis Davis formed the core rhythm section. The album combines the rock-oriented first side with the more experimental instrumental material of Side B.
