David Bowie invites Stevie Ray Vaughan to play blues guitar on his 1983 album, Let's Dance

Let's Dance album by David Bowie, signed and inscribed on the front cover in silver ink, "To Mike, All my best, Stevie Ray Vaughan.” In fine condition. The record is not included.

A rare and fascinating Vaughan-signed album that served as the guitarist’s first big break. A few years after the establishment of SRV and Double Trouble, the fast-rising Texas trio played at the Montreux Jazz Festival in July 1982, where Bowie was in attendance. Impressed by Vaughan’s performance, Bowie contacted him for a studio gig in December to play blues guitar on his 1983 album, Let's Dance. After John Hammond got wind of a Vaughan and Double Trouble demo, it wasn’t long before Epic Records came calling and signed the group to a record deal in March 1983. Within months, they achieved mainstream success with their debut album, Texas Flood.
