    Just compared with my 1st UK pressing...
    I have to it that this one is mind blowing !
    Clear, breathing, dynamic with a sound scene beautifully put in relief.
    It's a real improvement from my Original UK.
    Now, I have a problem because it's very difficult for me to part with a 1st pressing but... why should I keep it actually ?....

      If only every record could be pressed this well. Just stunningly rich sounds

        God-tier pressing, sounds magnificent. Also, zero (and I mean zero) background noise evident on my copy. Fantastic

          Excellent Press, almost 40 years old and sounds like new. What a great album and typical of that period with Bowie, banger tracks on the first side and more experimental on side B. Stand out tracks, Beauty and the beast., Heroes and Sons of the silent age. Side B also very interesting, especially as a chill out/chill down fix.
