    Excellent release - the sound is deep and smooth, cool matte cover, silent surface. Very happy with this one.

      Can anyone tell me which release has a little transparency? If you look at the lumen, it's a slightly burgundy shade.

        My final addition to my Bowie collection, I have pretty much from Hunky Dory to Let's Dance. Could not miss out this album, with some great tracks and a change of direction a the time. A great JP pressing too.
