Notes

This Parlaphone DB 778121 2018 reissue was released with reproductions of the original 1977 fan club leaflets, including at least two different design and artwork versions of the bi-fold "Official International Fan Club" leaflet. In order to differentiate the artwork variations refer to the images or text below:

1. This version - cover portrait image of David Bowie facing forward and smoking a cigarette. "Official International Fan Club" text on two separate lines of print, "The Many Sides Of David Bowie" interior with a fan club application on the left side and album covers on the right, back page with additional album covers.
2. David Bowie - Low - cover profile image of David Bowie with his left arm raised. "Official International Fan Club" text on four separate lines of print, "Keeping Up With David's Changes" interior with album covers on both sides, and a single line of text at the bottom of the back page.

The back of both versions of the fan club leaflet read in small text along the bottom edge "This is a replica of the original issued in 1977 and is no longer valid."

Recorded at The Chateau and Hansa By The Wall
Mixed at Hansa By The Wall
Cover photo from "The Man Who Fell to Earth"

    Sounds phenomenal. One of the best sounding records in my collection.

      My cat likes side two of this record just as much as The Flying Lizards album. I like it myself, but jeez...as much as The Flying Lizards..??

        A pristine pressing of a pristine album. Minimalist packaging design is cool as hell...maybe my favorite of his? In any case it's a good sobriety album. No characters or plotlines or outlandish costumes.

        Oh but I'm...always crashing...in the same car.

          Nicest sounding record in my collection! That meticulous Brian Eno production deserves no less!

            Absolutely incredible, like all of the Parlophone reissues I've heard. Cannot recommend enough, Long Live The Duke!

                you can handle your copy very careful, after a while it sounds used,
                surface noise cover an amazing sound !

                  You can have this pressing on the cheapest needle, the cheapest turntable, the cheapest speakers, and it will still sound amazing.
                  Incredible pressing, thick, rich, and crisp.

                    Is this full analog? I'm always skeptical of modern remasters.

                      Stunning. This is what people want from a reissue - proper remastering and nice thick 180g vinyl.
