Hello and welcome to the Illustrated db Discography forum
Although there are many popular David Bowie forums, very few specifically cater for collectors of David Bowie’s records and CDs. I therefore decided to launch this forum for them and anyone interested in the finer details of David Bowie’s music and collecting. A forum also provides an easy way to create a knowledge base for collectors, the perfect companion to my Illustrated db Discography website. If you are a collector, please join us and share your knowledge. If you’re new to collecting, we want to share our knowledge with you.
If you’re only looking for general discussions about David Bowie and his music, this forum may not be for you.
