Notes

Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps), also known simply as Scary Monsters, is the fourteenth studio album by David Bowie, released in September 1980 by RCA Records. It was his final studio album for the label and his first following the so-called Berlin Trilogy of Low, "Heroes" and Lodger (1977–79). Though considered very significant in artistic terms, the trilogy had proven less successful commercially.[1] With Scary Monsters, however, Bowie achieved what biographer David Buckley called "the perfect balance";[2] as well as earning critical acclaim, the album peaked at No. 1 in the UK and restored Bowie's commercial standing in the US.[3][4]

Although the album is commonly referred to as Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps), in keeping with the song title, and the album title as written on the front and back covers of the LP is Scary Monsters . . . . . and Super Creeps, the album is identified simply as Scary Monsters on the LP spine and disc label.
