Pin UpsPinups (album) – The title is "Pinups", not "Pin Ups". There was an extensive discussion about the title at discogs.com, see link E-Kartoffel (talk) 12:34, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

  • Support the current title should redirect to Pin-up (disambiguation). 65.94.45.160 (talk) 04:45, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
  • Undecided, with a good reason - The title appears to be one word on the album cover, and Bowie experts might agree. Discogs appears to be a rare case of using the one-word title. But just about every other source that discusses this album, from magazine articles to books to retail websites, uses the two-word version. It looks like that's the way history developed and there's no going back. I would support the move, and demand that thousands of online and offline media sources fix the title, if David Bowie himself came out and said the title should be one word. Has he ever commented on the issue specifically? --DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 18:38, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

FWIW... libraries consider the name on the label the "official" name of an album. And the label for this album says "Pin-Ups". So now everybody can be even more confused.—Chowbok 23:10, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

Which is the original composition?

The description says the album has only one original composition, but every track listed for the album is attributed to someone else. Is there an original contribution, or not? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.174.87.60 (talk) 15:15, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

We don't know. That was the original plan (to include one original song), but that plan was dropped. Now it's all covers.87Fan (talk) 17:57, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
