Wait til November 26th for the brilliant adventure box set to release. there is gonna be reissue of this album and much cheaper than a hundred bucks
Edited 3 years agohttps://www.discogs.com/de/David-Bowie-Earthling/release/1915532 bought a sealed 1997 Vinyl copy from the RCA pressing for 10.- EUR. Brilliant pressing, no surface noise and killer sound. Many people don't like the album. Because Bowie was evolving. He never stopped. He didn't follow any trends. Drum'n bass has been around for a long time. He showed that his music always worked. The only album that I really resent Bowie, is: https://www.discogs.com/de/Bowie-Club-Bowie-Rare-And-Unreleased-12-Mixes/master/510622 ALL the remixers on the album showed that they had no idea about good music. Above all David Guetta. Throwaway music for the throwaway society. "Earthling" is light years away from that. Just compare both!
never thought I would have heard the amen break on a david bowie song
Yes really time for a remastered reissue on heavyweight vinyl !- We need a repress of this. I really want this in my collection, but not for over $200, ugh.
Those two extra live tracks that were not included on liveandwell.com cd are included on this deluxe cd version from 2004.
Must say, one of the best albums I have ever heard so far in my life.
Top five. Belongs with Abbey Road and Behaviour.
