This arrangement for String Quartet of Heroes which was the 12th studio album by the English musician David Bowie, released on 14 October 1977 through RCA Records. Recorded in collaboration with musician Brian Eno and producer Tony Visconti, it was the second release of his Berlin Trilogy, following Low, released in January the same year, and the only one wholly recorded in Berlin. Sessions took place in mid-1977 after Bowie completed work on Iggy Pop's second solo album Lust for Life. Much of the same personnel from Low returned for Heroes, augmented by King Crimson guitarist Robert Fripp.
Â
Heroes has received enduring praise, particularly recognised for Fripp's contributions and the album's place within Bowie's long-term artistic development. Though critical opinion has viewed Low as the more ground-breaking record, Heroes is regarded as one of Bowie's best, most influential works. The title track, initially unsuccessful as a single, has remained one of his best-known and most-acclaimed songs. An altered and obscured version of the cover artwork was later used for the cover of The Next Day (2013). Heroes has been reissued several times and was remastered in 2017 as part of the box set A New Career in a New Town (1977–1982).
