    I don't get the criticism on the sound quality of this pressing. It sounds absolutely fine, maybe a tad louder than usual but fine. Compared to the Tidal version and it is actually better. Excellent quite pressing , built to last. If you're not intending to buy all Bowie records this is a good selection of the best

      Hello everyone hope you are all currently enjoying your vinyl/turntable systems?
      Here's my honest review of this "bargain price" double David Bowie "Bowie Legacy" best of compilation record.
      (Turntable used for this review:
      Rega P3:RB880 tonearm,Denon DL110 HOMC,Delrin Platter, Rega Neo, Isoacoustic Orea bronze feet "x4",up from using "x3" feet from 03/03/23.
      Phono Stage Whest Audio TWO.2 class a dual mono fully balanced phono stage, 50db/47k ohms,HOMC setting)

      I purchased this via amazon u.k. 5yrs ago (10/01/18) & it was never the best sounding remaster amongst my collection & I can totally understand why many have mentioned the perceived lack of sound quality throughout this pressing. BUT the thing with vinyl records and ESPECIALLY Remasters from a digital source (which this probably is!) is that,on most turntable set-ups they`ll sound baaad,shrill,bass light,generally lacking dynamics etc. this is called smear as it "smears" the information that`s been reproduced. This was always more evident to me on the 1st disc(sides 1&2) as it has more older recordings on them & those tracks would have been recorded/mastered via analog.

      Since my new found tweak with the components feet A LOT of the smear has GONE from the system as it once was ie: shrillness,bass light,generally lacking dynamics etc. So now out of all the tracks currently there are only a couple from sides 1&2 that still don`t match up(maybe with further tweaks things will get better again?).
      In saying all this I can state that my copy sounds Good - Really Good on the 2nd discs(sides 3&4) on sound quality especially for lowly price considering the tracks one is getting.
      My copy has always been flat well centered & the vinyl noise free,they been in mofi inner sleeves for a few years but came in standard white paper ones,the gatefold is fine with ifno & nice pics of the Great Man.

      Conclusion:
      "Probably" on most systems this will not sound great BUT if you`ve managed to eke out most if not all the potential out of your vinyl front end,you`ll "probably" be well rewarded with this one on the platter,good everyone & happy listening.
      *Note*
      All my vinyl records are cleaned on a "Project VC-S MK II Record Cleaner" vacuum record cleaning machine at least once.

        This EU / Optimal pressing is superb. Flat, clean, with a solid dynamic range. I can’t fault it.

          I’m wondering if there was different runs of this pressing as mine which I purchased at time of original release with the limited prints sounds really good to my ears. No surface noise or pops or clicks to speak off and not muddy sounding at all. I am usually disappointed with modern pressings of vinyl but not this one

            I'm super torn on this. On one hand, these are a fantastic collection of songs, and a good introduction to Bowie for new fans. And for the price, this 2LP set is definitely good value for money (at least when i bought it).

            However, it is def true that the sound quality is....not quite up to par. Even when comparing it to recent Bowie vinyl releases. I own the Space Oddity 2016 reissue (The self titled David Bowie album), and Space Oddity sounds much richer and warmer.

            I would describe the sound quality on "Legacy" to be...flat. It is VERY clean though, with no surface noise at all on my copy. But it is a bit lacking in warmth, lending it to a thin sounding experience.

            That being said, the packaging is nice, and i cant fault it for the value. Just know that you WONT get Bowie's songs in great quality if you buy this collection.

              Sound quality is poor and uninvolving as a result. Flat sounding, compressed and thin. Cleaning with RCM did not help. I do not recommend this release.
              Equipment used: Rega P6, Apheta2 cartridge, naim amps, PMC speakers.

                Extremely poor sound quality, I can only recommend NOT to buy this vinyl compilation.

                  Waiting for a vinyl comp that only includes all the late Bowie (starting at the '90s)

                      Lousy pressing quality. Bought it factory sealed. Vinyl dirty all over, fingerprints on every side, hairlines and fine scratches!!! Two skips on two different sides. I have no idea how such stuff can be sold! Beware of buying this crap!
