This sounds simply decent. I've heard better, I've heard worse. It has this odd Bowie-sound from the three albums before, which I think confuses some people. It's not in the record. It was the way it was mixed to tape. -
My pressing sounds great, and super pleased to have a mint copy. The last great Bowie album before he sold out. Stand out tracks, up the hill backwards, Scary Monsters, It's no game. The closing version of it's no game, is very interesting. Teenage Wildlife also a great track. Just shades lodger and a great edition to my Bowie collection. -
This pressing sounds odd to me - or my setup is suddenly out. It's clean, and a nice pressing (very little distortion except at perhaps the last 20 seconds of the end of one side), but the bass and mids are distant and recessed throughout, leaving quite a hollow sound. Anyone else got this - any thoughts?
