The record was Bowie's attempt at creating a more commercial record after the trilogy proved successful artistically but less so commercially.\u003cbr\u003eCo-produced by Bowie and Tony Visconti, Scary Monsters was recorded between February and April 1980 at the Power Station in New York City, and later Good Earth Studios in London. Much of the same personnel from prior releases returned for the sessions, with additional guitar by Chuck Hammer and Robert Fripp, and a guest appearance by Pete Townshend. Unlike the improvisational nature of prior releases, Bowie spent time writing the music and lyrics; several were recorded under working titles and some contained reworked elements of earlier, unreleased songs. \u003cbr\u003eThe album's lead single, \"Ashes to Ashes\", revisited the character of Major Tom from \"Space Oddity\" and was promoted with an inventive music video. Scary Monsters garnered critical and commercial acclaim: it topped the UK Albums Chart and restored Bowie's commercial standing in the US, reaching No. 12 on the Billboard Top LPs \u0026amp; Tape chart. It was Bowie's final studio album for RCA and the final collaboration between him and Visconti for over 20 years. Several publications have considered it one of the greatest albums of all time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1    Scary Monsters and Super Creeps [Alternate Version]  3:25\u003cbr\u003e2    It’s No Game [Alternate Version]  3:51\u003cbr\u003e3    Tired Of My Life [It’s No Game]  3:09\u003cbr\u003e4    Cameras In Brooklyn  [Up The Hill Backwards Demo]  8:23\u003cbr\u003e5    It Happens Everyday [Teenage Wildlife Demo]  7:06\u003cbr\u003e6    Laser [Scream Like A Baby Demo]  3:19\u003cbr\u003e7    Ashes To Ashes [Alternate Disco Mix]  11:44\u003cbr\u003e8    Kingdom Come [Alternate Version]  3:58\u003cbr\u003e9    I Am A Laser (with the Astronettes) [Laser Alternate Version]  4:13\u003cbr\u003e10    Because You’re Young [Alternate Version]  4:53\u003cbr\u003e11    Is There Life After Marriage?
