*Minor bottom-left cover corner imperfection. Limited Edition 45th Anniversary Orange German Import.The 11th studio album, released on January 14, 1977 through RCA Records.Grounded in art rock and experimental rock and influenced by German bands such as Tangerine Dream, Neu!, Harmonia and Kraftwerk, Low features Bowie's first explorations in electronic and ambient styles.

Upon release, it divided critical opinion and received little promot
