Show All 111 Reviews- Abdulmajid is just sublime, so glad it finally got a vinyl release, i wonder how many other instrumental songs Bowie did in the same vein

This is an beautiful album by David Bowie and definitley ono of his best. On this pressing the sound is very nice, fresh and crisp. I really love album and can recomendend it.referencing "Heroes" (LP, Album, Limited Edition, Reissue, Remastered, Repress, Stereo, Grey, 45th Anniversary) DB 77822
Smooth, clear and dynamic sound. Pressing is top quality. Sublime!referencing "Heroes" (LP, Album, Reissue) INTS 5066
Didn't blow me away the same way the Aladdin Sane BiLBO pressing did. Great album musically, but not a demo disc by any means.- Edited 3 months ago

I have had an unofficial "criminal spearmint coloured" version and an original tatty version. This was by far the best, clean and crisp and so good it shows up the poor studio production. All Bowie repressing's these days are very good provided they are official. Worth a buy. referencing "Heroes" (LP, Album) AFL1-2522
My favourite Bowie album by far. Great contributions by Bowie's "at the moment" band, Eno and Fripp. Can vividly remember listening to this in 1977 at a friend's house...smoking opium-cured hash and enjoying the moment. Still has the same effect some forty-five years later (without the hash, btw). A true classic in my books.referencing "Heroes" (LP, Album, Limited Edition, Reissue, Remastered, Repress, Stereo, Grey, 45th Anniversary) DB 77822
Flat, clean, quiet, dynamic. Can't ask for much more. No other releases to compare to ATM, but will edit if I acquire others. Great buy for the price, highly recommend.- 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!!
- Edited 5 months agoRemaster sounds very harsh to my ears, I wonder is there any good sounding versions of this album? This is unlistenable.
