    Bowie himself didn't like this first mix...but I really don't know what is wrong with it. I was fortunate to get a VG+ copy almost bordering NM- and it sounds lovely on my setup.

      Hello. I have a copy almost identical to this, with HUB and STERLING on both sides, but on side A there is a gc following the STERLING. Can anyone help me identify which exact copy I have? No sense is better... ...than none at all is on it as well.
