Baal is an EP by the English musician David Bowie, comprising recordings of songs written for Bertolt Brecht's play Baal. It is sometimes referred to as David Bowie in Bertolt Brecht's Baal, as credited on the sleeve. The EP was Bowie's final release of new material for RCA Records; he signed with EMI Records for his next album. It was released to positive reviews and reached number 29 on the UK Singles Chart, an unusual achievement for a non-pop release.
