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.

Waiting for a vinyl comp that dumps Dancing In The Street and includes 'All The Young Dudes' and 'Loving The Alien'.

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!

Nice compilation adding to a sea of Bowie compilations that incorporates the very latest superior remasters of his most popular favorites into one 2LP release (seems really similar to the Nothing Has Changed track list). I went to the "David Bowie Is" exhibit in Brooklyn this year, and it was amazing, but the problem was it was not clear which room to go into next, and your impression of his career retrospective could jump around wildly from 60s to 90s to 00s back to 70s if you get lost... this grab bag of songs reminds me of that. There seems to be some kind of logic to the song order, but I can't figure it out. You'd be hard pressed to find a better group of five songs on a side of a record anywhere than those on Side 2, which includes "The Man Who Sold The World," a big reason I even bought this release, as that song is hard to find on vinyl outside the full album it appears on.
