Vinyl, cover, and sleeve are in EXCELLENT or EX or VG++ condition: minor scuffs which are only slightly visible. There may be more than a few scuffs and NO Scratches COVER: Artwork is still as close to perfect as can be. Some impression to the cover (minor outer ring wear) but no ink wear! Some slight creases to the corners, but not wrinkled and obtrusive to the eye. The corners can show white (where the artwork pasted slick was) meaning, slight wear. No seam splits or writing on the cover or taped repairs can make this grade.

Diamond Dogs is a concept album, and the eighth studio album by David Bowie, originally released in 1974 on RCA records. Thematically, it was a marriage of the novel 1984 by George Orwell and Bowie's own glam-tinged vision of a post-apocalyptic world. Bowie had wanted to make a theatrical production of Orwell's book and began writing material after completing sessions for his 1973 album Pin Ups, but the author’s estate denied the rights. The songs wound up on the second half of Diamond Dogs instead where, as the titles indicated, the 1984 theme was prominent.
The cover art features Bowie as a striking half-man, half-dog grotesque painted by Belgian artist Guy Peellaert. It was controversial as the original full painting clearly showed the hybrid's genitalia (this LP does not). Very few copies of that original cover made their way into circulation at the time of the album's release. 
This record was Bowie's glam swansong, and made it to to #1 on UK and Canadian charts, and #5 in the US.
