David Bowie Memorabilia

Even in his youth, David Bowie always seemed an old soul. In his song from 1971 called "Changes," he sings about his future explicitly: "Oh, look out you rock 'n rollers... Pretty soon now you're gonna get older." Indeed, the passage of years suited Bowie well, as his smokey voice warmed to the nuances of songs like "Heroes," "Golden Years," and even his 1969 hit, "Space Oddity," which introduced the world to Major Tom. Since his death on January 10, 2016, from liver cancer, interest in vintage Bowie vinyl LPs,45s, ticket stubs, concert and movie posters, and other memorabilia associated with the rock star and actor has never been stronger. In particular, copies of the 1970 U.K. pressing of "The Man Who Sold the World," which features Bowie in a dress on its cover, and sealed copies of his final album, "Blackstar," which was released on the artist's 69th birthday, two days before his death, are in high demand. In addition, items Bowie collected have also been snapped up by fans hoped to create a connection with the pop star. For example, in November 2016, Sotheby's of London held an auction of furniture and other objects owned by Bowie. One Olivetti typewriter with an estimate of £300-£500 sold for £45,000, while a radio/phonograph designed by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni smashed its estimate of £800-£1,200 when it brought in a staggering £257,000.
