    Oh boy what a great album. Such a pitty it sounds so terribly compressed. Does this Japanese pressing sound just as bad (heavily compressed) as all the other versions around the globe? Vinyl seems to be much better than any cd version, but not all pressing are listed of course. Sometimes Japanese pressings are mastered differently. http://dr.loudness-war.info/album/list?artist=bowie&album=blackstar
