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.
My copy sounds amazing! Very little to no noise. The gold looks stunning and the sleeve has an interesting texture. Came flat, no warping.- My copy has a little surface noise on side 2. Particularly on B3 left channel.
Aside from that it is one of the best vinyl pressings I have heard. Side 1 is heaven!
Recommended with the caveat of slightly noisy side 2. 
Este es el mejor álbum de Bowie, en mi opinión. Su voz suena majestuosa en todas las canciones. Es muy versátil.
El color dorado del disco es precioso, y este suena genial. No tengo nada de que quejarme. Es precioso. 💞- A bit more surface noise than 100% ideal, but it's due to the gold color. And anyway, it's absolutely negligible, better than many other black pressings.
Copy sounds good, mine has very minimal surface noise (that I could tell), but a really excellent copy and love the gold color.
The sound quality of the music itself is really good, but the vinyl surface can be quite noisy.
My copy of this 2020 gold vinyl reissue does NOT have the "Fascination" promo sheet included with the 2017 David Bowie - Young Americans reissue.
