Published: 01 Jan 2015, 22:16
Never Let Me Down Is The Seventeenth Studio Album By David Bowie Released In April 1987 By EMI America. Bowie Conceived The Album As The Foundation For A Theatrical World Tour Writing And Recording Most Of The Songs In Switzerland. He Considered The Record A Return To Rock 'n' Roll Music. Three Singles Were Released From The Album "Day-In Day-Out" "Time Will Crawl" And "Never Let Me Down" The First Two Of Which Were Top 10 Hits Around The World. One Of Bowie's Better-Selling Albums To Date Never Let Me Down Was Certified Gold By The RIAA In Early July 1987 Less Than Three Months After Its Release Date And Charted In The Top 10 In Several European Countries Although It Only Reached Number 34 On The US Charts. Despite Its Commercial Success This Album Was Poorly Received By Fans And Critics Who Often Regard The Mid-To-Late 1980s As A Low Point Of Creativity And Musical Integrity For Bowie. Bowie Later Distanced Himself From The Album But Admitted A Fondness For Many Of The Songs And Eventually Remixed The Track "Time Will Crawl" One Of His All-Time Favourites For Inclusion On His Career Retrospective Release ISelect 2008 . In Support Of This Album Bowie Embarked On The Glass Spider Tour A World Tour That Was At That Point The Biggest Most Theatrical And Most Elaborate Tour He Had Undertaken In His Career. The Tour Like The Album It Supported Was Commercially Successful But Critically Panned. The Critical Failure Of The Album And Tour Were Factors That Led Bowie To Look For A New Way To Motivate Himself Creatively Leading Him To Create The Band Tin Machine In 1989 And To Retire His Back Catalogue From Live Performances During His 1990 Sound Vision Tour. Bowie Did Not Release Another Solo Album Until Black Tie White Noise In 1993.
