Reviews
Edited 14 years agoLike with AloneWithStrangers, Station To Station is my favorite David Bowie album, and I was quite surprised when earlier this year I heard that it was going to be given the Deluxe treatment. I was, however, a bit apprehensive - I've not been too impressed with quite a few "Deluxe / Anniversary / Special / Collectors etc Editions" of late - so it wasn't I until came across pictures and details of the box set and it's contents on Bowie's website a month later that I (after picking my jaw up off the floor) hit the "Preorder" button without hesitation.
I received the box set yesterday morning and have been pouring and obsessing over it's contents for over 24 hours. Long story short(er), I couldn't be happier with it. I'm an audio engineer and musician; LostTurntable hit the nail right on the head - If you're an audio technician, engineer, musician, etc, you NEED to listen to this. If you're not any of those but are a fan of Bowie's work and this album in particular, you will not be disappointed, to say the least. I would have been just as pleased if the box contained only the LPs, CDs and DVD - the extras are VERY nice indeed - but it's all about the sound; it truly is sublime, and its not the side effects of the cocaine. Umm... Not that I'd know what that would be like cos... er...... -ahem!- moving along...*
I have a copy of the original 1976 RCA Victor UK LP (which is as old as I am), the 1991 Rykodisc reissue CD, the 1999 Virgin remastered CD and the Japanese 2009 SHM-CD / Mini LP CD (which uses the 1999 remaster but to me sounds noticeably more compressed). The 1976 LP was the one I always found to be the best sounding of the lot, however these new 2010 remasters have taken its place. The CD and LP are both spectacular sounding, but it's the DVD's Stereo and 5.1 versions that really shine. The 1985 RCA remaster is great too, and I know quite a few folks who prefer it over the later remasters. As for the Nassau Coliseum material, well I haven't listened to it yet, but will soon, and will update this review accordingly.
Now all I have to do is wait for Low to get "Deluxed". And 'Heroes'.
And Scary Monsters. :)
