Bought all the Bowie remasters and they all sound phenomenal bar this one which is absolutely dreadful, the highs are ear piercing and heroes is the worse I’ve heard it -
I can't get over how good this sounds for a standard pressing. Three cheers for Parlophone. Well done. -
Edited 11 months agoStunning pressing. Must be the shiniest, cleanest new vinyl I own ! whoever pressed this should be awarded an industry standard quality charter! sound is outstanding as played on my Rega 3 -
I have two versions of this pressing and the artwork on one of them is brighter than the other and also has a sticker on the back saying “Made in .” To my recollection the version I bought in 2018 also had this sticker but I’ve since removed it. I don’t see any mention on this page of the sticker or the difference in brightness of the artwork and was wondering if anyone else has observed this? -
Just one of my favorite records since I was a teenager, in fact I was looking for a replacement original pressing in good shape and I held off on buying a copy of the remaster. Having had good luck with Parlophone releases in the last few years, I finally sprung for this... There's a huge chunk of unmelted vinyl in the middle of side two... I had waited quite a while before I opened and played it so I wasn't able to return it and now I've got an unplayable copy... I suppose bad luck better than no luck at all 🤔 -
This should be the benchmark for any remasters for any artist. Great care taken from the mastering, pressing plant, cover packaging and replica extras. Disc flat silent and sounds fantastic. Setting the stand worthy for this great artists work!! -
Truly fantastic sound on this release, like most of the other Parlophone reissues. Incredible dynamics especially on the instrumentals, which sound euphoric here. Must buy -
Decent pressing, very little noise though the mix is quite middly as others have suggested. Sounds great though, particularly the more ambient side two. Nice extras in the packaging too. -
Edited 3 years agoGreat pressing. Horrible remastering. Too loud, no dynamics, and a flat harsh sound. Sounds probably great to someone who can also enjoy a bricked mp3. Yuck.

For god’s sake! Please 🙏 at least read the release info before listing as laziness on my watch will cost you hard earned % I’ve order about 15 copies of the ‘replacement’ vinyl listed here; only to be sent a bog standard repress WITH A PICTURE SLEEVE!!! I was having chemotherapy and radiotherapy at the time and PARLOPHONE kindly took months to get back to me, only to tell me that I had missed the ‘window of opportunity of offer of replacement!!! 😤 Any picture sleeve copy is not a ‘replacement’ copy for the Boxset, sending me a bog standard repress minus the sleeve will also land you in proverbials!!!
