Reviews

Great pressing, totally silent. The album has always had that overproduced gated-snare tinny highs 80s sheen to it, so not sure why anyone would expect anything different? -
Edited 4 months agoMy third, great sounding David Bowie re-issue. To my ears this sounds fantastic and is another pristine Optimal pressing. Rotationally the pressing is dead flat and whisper silent. (with an Ortofon 2m Black). My only quibble is a slight dish ward. So if your cartridge is sensitive to VTA settings you have to adjust to compensate.
(PS I used to have a 1983 pressing and I don't it being so clear, dynamic and engaging.) -
I do think this is a really good sounding pressing. It's dynamic, has a nice soundstage & bass... However this sounds very "polished", one can tell this was mastered digitally. Out of curiosity I got me an OG pressing too, and I agree with one reviewer that it has a much warmer sound to it. You can't really do no wrong with this reissue (unless you're a vintage vinyl enthusiast), but for me the '83 press wins :) -
-
Terrible, lifeless, not dynamic at all. You might as well listen on the radio. I'll be looking for another version. This is a disservice to Bowie. -
The whole digital vs analogue debate is pointless. The important thing is how well it was engineered and mastered. Donald Fagen's "The Nightfly" and Joe Jackson's "Body And Soul" are 2 good examples of how great a digitally sourced LP can sound. Lessons from MoFi's secret practice of using a digital step for many years should teach us something. This Bowie release is a quiet pressing with a perfectly good soundstage. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! -
In my opinion the barst album by David Bowie. Every time I hear Let’s Dance, I see the video in my head where David is standing in a bar singing and the lady with her red shoes on a mountain. The pressing of this record is very good. The sound quality is also very good. -
Pretty great sound. Obviously a digital remaster, and there’s a tiny bit of distortion at the end of Side A, but otherwise it’s good. -
-
Not sure why no one has picked up on this but it’s painfully obvious to my ears, especially comparing to the near mint original I just picked up. This is a digital remaster. I could tell Right Away! Typical sterile and unnatural sound. It’s clean, for sure. But Too Clean. My ‘83 press (mastered by Bob Ludwig) has a Much warmer sound to it. As soon as I did my A/B comparison, I said to myself “Yep, I Knew it!”. This is fine if you want to hear a cd pressed on vinyl. No thank you
