David Bowie’s ‘The Man Who Sold the World’ reissued with original title and artwork

David Bowie's 1970 album 'The Man Who Sold the World' is being reissued in November, with its original title 'Metrobolist', an homage to Fritz Lang's 'Metropolis', Brooklyn Vegan reports. The reissue has been remixed by the album's producer, Tony Visconti, except for 'After All' which Visconti considered perfect as is. New artwork was designed by Mike Weller, who did the original design which Mercury Records found too controversial at the time. Bowie said in 2000 that "Weller devised this kind of very subversive looking cartoon and put in some quite personalised things. The building in the background on the cartoon in fact was the hospital where my half brother had committed himself to".
