My copy has no Stereo on label, has laminated sleve and side cut on inner sleeve.

Such a great album, that I think a lot of people overlook. In my view there isnt one bad track.

This version definitely has a lot more top end as dumaisaudio said, but it sounds genuine - not like turning up the treble by yourself, it's the first thing that hits you in Watch That Man. The Piano especially has an *amazing* presence, like it's almost in the same room. The drums also benefit, with the cymbals and hi-hats shimmering nicely and not sounding synthetic. The bass is slightly thin however and the vocals can be distant in places (compared to other versions), but the details are there. No IGD at all! Overall though, VERY NICE 9/10. Got mine for ~￡40 and it's money I don't regret spending.

Sound was compared to the 2013 remaster LP (which is very good), 1981 Bilbo (best bang-for-buck 2nd to this), 1978 Italian gold label (which sounds a bit dull) and a 1973 UK press (which has a rawness no other copy has came close to that I have heard). Equipment is Denon DP-47F, Nagaoka MP200, Arcam rPhono, Marantz HD-AMP1 & DynAudio Emit M10 Speakers.

Great pressing and my final addition to the my Bowie collection. Hunky Dory through to Lets Dance (although Lets Dance is an album of great tracks, not a great album), then is last album Blackstar (another album of great tracks but not a great album). Everything between those periods forget, some good songs, but to have on vinyl, this is all you need. Aladdin Sane is decent, but far from Ziggy but never the less an interesting and must have album and a great pressing for the anniversary release.

The packaging of this release is amazing, the remaster though not so much. The main issue for me is it’s too bright with the bass pushed to the back. I get that newer fans will love this, the problem though is they have little comparison. For me the 1981 RCA International ?– INTS 5067/13890 UK version mastered by bilbo still leaves me speechless 39 years later. Im not saying this to sound contrary or elitist. It’s just a reference that you’d never know existed within the two hundred and seventeen versions of this record.

I have, compared it to the original pressing and the recent remaster this is far superior, this edition was mastered by Bilbo at Tape one who also mastered hunky dory and he nails it. There’s things on this edition that I didn’t even know was there, like the echo on the vocals on the jean Jeanie. This is the one to get.

Another great reissue from the Bowie catalogue with an improved sound and interesting packaging. Good to hear the production on "Watch That Man" is a vast improvement on earlier issues which was notoriously poor.

This is 1976 repress not the 1973 original pressing. Please check date on labels

Anyone own a copy of this? Just wondering what the sound quality is like? Thanks!
