David Bowie – Young Americans

What a beautiful release. My copy looks more like gold marble, with streaks of darker gold throughout, as pictured in the images library above, rather than one color gold. It is flat and plays quiet. I love Bowie's smooth vocals and the overall tone on Young Americans.

Sounds fantastic. Never heard the first Japanese pressing to compare this second pressing. But this is great. Get it!

Now who is that guy on the Joanna on 'It's Gonna Be Me' ?

"ooh baby"

"I hate to admit it but I'm really a closet heterosexual and always have been."

IF you don't own a copy = why not ?

Great sounding version for me to properly listen to this Bowie album to for the first time having not really given it the time of day before.

I have the 1E PN A2AC version of this (MainMan Logo/Stereo Labels) release. Surprisingly good pressing! Better than some first pressings I have of other albums, and one of my best sounding Bowie pressings. Maybe I just lucked out on getting an early press from this lacquer, but it sounds fantastic; although as a disclaimer, I haven't heard any other pressings to compare to. The jacket is extremely thin and flimsy is my only (very minor) complaint.

One of the best sounding CDs I own (out of hundreds). It actually has a soundstage to it, with great separation, fantastic lows and highs. I can close my eyes and easily confuse this CD with a first rate vinyl or DSD recording.

Whoa your 50 y/o record skips?!? That’s insane, that can’t be right.

Great sounding compact disc ..very much like the sound of the vinyl ..has the warmth of the original lp ...please note this version has the full opening beats of the title track ..which are not on the blue ring usa version ..worth seeking out if you enjoy your Bowie how it sounded in 1975 ..

One of my favourite Bowie albums. There seem to be quite a few variations of the American pressings, and I’m fairly certain I’ve chosen the right one. It’s not easy seeing what’s been etched on the dead wax.
I’ve had this copy for years and can’t remember where I got it. I don’t think it’s a promo but on the matt textured sleeve top left there is stamped into the card NOT FOR SALE promotion use only. Nothing on the label. Hopefully I’ve got a rarity that would sell for £10,000 🤔😀

This press sounds muddy and flat to me. Minimal dynamics or seperation
