WATCH THAT MAN mix on my RCA UK Orange paper labels cassette has really low vocals and reading around, it was deliberately mixed that way. So pleased it's not my cassette!
-
This is analog at its absolute best. This is crazy good. Detailed, punchy, clear, dynamic, it’s got it all. This is demo worthy. It’s that good. -
-
Can anyone help?
why was there a Dynaflex versions and RCA version released in the UK and in the same month and year? -
My Variant :
Matrix / Runout (Runout side A, variant 27): RY 4543-3T A2AAA
Matrix / Runout (Runout side B, variant 27): RY 4543-3T A5AF -
Speechless. Amazing.
How good is this pressing, the beginning of The Prettiest Star is a blast !
Iconic cover too. 3T beauty

Edited 2 years agoMy copy doesn't seem to be here, but this one &
https://discogs.descargarjuegos.org/release/6479606-David-Bowie-Aladdin-Sane
are the closest. My copy is a gatefold with inner sleeve, and has published by mainman/chrysalis on side 1 label, which no other copies seem to have. Can anyone help? -
Edited 2 years agoGot this in 1973. One of the first albums I bought. It changed my life. My mum nearly threw it out of the house because of the language used. I bought a remastered version but it doesn’t compare ….. this is the real deal, it sounds wild. I couldn’t live without this…and I might have it buried with me when I go.
