David Bowie is the self-titled debut studio album by English musician David Bowie.
David Bowie was released in the UK, in both mono and stereo, on 1 June 1967, the same date as the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, on Deram Records. The album was commercially and critically unsuccessful, and eventually cost him his contract at Deram records. Bowie, seemingly embarrassed by it, had tried to write the record out of his history (selections from it never turn up on career anthologies, though that may be in part due to rights issues).
