Pin Ups is the seventh studio album by the English musician David Bowie, released on 19 October 1973 through RCA Records. Devised as a "stop-gap" album to appease his record label, it is a covers album, featuring glam rock and proto-punk versions of songs by 1960s bands who were influential on Bowie as a teenager, including the Pretty Things, the Who, the Yardbirds and Pink Floyd.
