    This a solid pressing but it’s not doing anything special sonically. It’s a decent quiet flat pressing of a digital master so it lacks the dimensionality of a quality all-analog pressing.

      Absolutely brilliant pressing and what a Bowie album with Fripp’s raw guitar playing
      • Conversation_Piece's avatar
        Best album of all time very happy to start my collection with it in 2021

          Very good pressing but could use a little more bass (personal taste). One of my all time fave Bowie records, this one is a solid buy. Very well done on the remaster.

            All of these twenty teens Bowie reissues sound great. One more word.

              Really happy with this purchase. Sounds warm and crisp, great balance. One of the best sounding records I own. Mine included a gatefold lyric sheet, 1 poly lined inner sleeve, and 1 paper sleeve. I was pleasantly surprised.

                Just compared this to my Pappy's original 1980 copy from the RCA masters. This sounds superior to my ears. Clearer and deeper.

                  Sounds pretty good. Not as mediocre as Lodger, but not as good as Hunky Dory or Low. Great dynamics overall, but falters towards the middle. Satisfied with it, and it was cheap too

                    Re-visiting now with new better equipment. It’s a bit low in the mix, but otherwise really good with clear details and depth.

                      Absolutely brilliant, has powerful bass and sounds warm, with the drums sounding strong and punchy.
