WHITE-LABEL PROMO. Vinyl plays nicely (play-graded). 12" Single. Generic black cover sleeve looks great, a few creases near edges; light scuffing and surface impressions (front/back). Inner-sleeve is original (generic white); one seam partially split. Spine has no text and shows mile wear. Little shelf-wear along top/bottom-edge; some wear to corners. Opening is crisp with signs of light use and a few small divots. (Not a cut-out.)
Dead Man Walking, by David Bowie, was released as the third single from his album, Earthling. It was a top 40 hit in the UK, peaking at No. 32. Bowie described Dead Man Walking as his homage "to rock and roll that is still young while we are all growing old". As such, the lyrics reflect his thoughts on aging at this point in his career. The music is, in author James E. Perone's words, "largely conventional dance", featuring atonal piano, sequenced keyboards and electric guitar and containing elements of Latin dance music and jazz.
