Got lucky and found this for $15 in near mint condition! Sounds Fantastic! No surprise since Bob Ludwig mastered it. Sounds so much better and more analog than the 2019 reissue, which is Obviously digital. This has a much warmer and more natural sound.
Why isn’t it mentioned that this is a CRC release (as stated on the labels and on the back cover)? This is a unique CRC release because the vast majority of CRC releases (especially in the 80’s) were pressed at the Carrollton, GA plant (G1). Anyway, an iconic Bowie album with zero flaws. 👍🏻👍🏻
Edited 2 years agoCompletely agree. I paid $10 for a very clean copy. The record sounds thick and big. Bob Ludwig did a fantastic job!- SO-517093
This is the pressing to get. Sounds incredible with minimal noise. Relatively inexpensive to boot.
