Trivia

Here is some interesting trivia about Heroes, according to NME.

Heroes was the only album of the “Berlin Trilogy” actually fully recorded in Berlin.

The title track Heroes only managed to peak at 24 in the UK charts and failed to make the US Billboard top 100, despite being one of his most popular songs.

Bowie plays five instruments, sings background vocals and produced the album.

The title track Heroes was inspired by a romance between a couple that Bowie saw by the Berlin wall.

The first note of V-2 Schneider was a mistake. They decided to keep it as is in the official release.
