Which David Bowie album was banned and withdrawn for the cover art? Here’s a hint. The record was released with a gatefold cover, and the part banned was on the back. The answer is… Diamond Dogs. The artwork for the record depicts Bowie as half-human, half-dog… with genitalia. There was such an uproar about the cover that all copies were pulled before distribution and reissued with the bits airbrushed out. It’s assumed that less than 10 made it outside of the recall, making it extremely collectable. Only three have been sold on eBay in the past 10 years. The last one to sell on eBay was on December 31 2023, and it fetched just under $7500!
