Description:

The man who wanted to be David Bowie, Jobriath's first album from 1973 is being reissued on CD! Carly Simon's legendary manager, Jerry Brandt, has finally found the star he's been waiting for: in 1972, Bruce Wayne Campbell, aka Jobrias' face appeared in full-page ads in Vogue, Penthouse, and Rolling Stone, and on New York City It also became a poster on buses. And he became the first American rock artist and the first star to come out as gay. Brandt convinced Elektra Records to use Jobriath at Olympic Studios, a famous recording studio favored by bands such as the Rolling Stones. Within these soundproof walls, a 55-piece orchestra accompanied Jobrias on his glam-rock journey, completing the 11 tracks of his self-titled debut album.With aggressive, sexy songs like the S&M ballad "Take Me I'm Yours" and "I'm A Man," the album has attracted many fans from the same industry and has also inspired fans of Morrissey, Visage, and Elton John.
