Not amongst Bowies best but I’m giving it a 5 because this pressing sure as ish doesn’t deserve only an 80% (as of this writing) The sound on this thing is SUPERB. Produced by Nile Rogers and mastered by RL would you expect anything less? Plus the 123 knock out punch of modern love, China girl and the title track is unimpeachable. Side 2…? Eh..
-
compared to the most modern remasters, it's a little less detailed, but MAN is the soundstage fitting. very punchy bass, doesn't get in the way of the mids and treble. I like this version best. -
I have a copy (club edition think) still sealed from 1983. Thinking of opening it. Maybe after new years the album will turn 30 and might raise in value. Not a review I know -
Very nice sounding pressing! Full range, detailed and broad sound all the way through, All the hits sounds awesome and super musical!

I haven't heard any other pressings, but I only paid $25 for this one and I'm very happy with the sound. Very punchy but well defined. Can't go wrong with this one. -
