I had actually not owned a copy of this album on vinyl, and had picked up the 2022 half-speed mastered edition at a local record shop. Went to play it and while sound OK, it sounded muddy, in some cases distorted and in short...just did not sound right. "Suffragette City" in particular did not sound like it should. Comparing to that track on my old 1976 pressing of Changesonebowie...that sounded MUCH better despite the clicks and pops. Who knows why...could be that the album was mastered from a digital copy of the original master tape, could have been defective, maybe did not like my turntable setup (although it sounded similar on 2 other tables, 2 different cartridges that I have)...not sure.
Given my positive experience with the 2016 180g remaster of "Station To Station", I decided to try this edition, purchased from Amazon. NIGHT AND DAY DIFFERENCE! Zero surface noise, no clicks, no pops, no skips (while some folks here received defective records or perhaps had to tweak their turntable setups, mine required none at all...I'm running a Shure M44E with a Jico SAS N55E stylus on a Sansui 1050E turntable for reference). Simply put, it sounded RIGHT! Crystal clear instrumentation, Bowie's voice sounded as it should and excellent stereo separation.
Audio review (equipment, albums, music in general) is super subjective, so I ask you to take my review with a giant grain of sand and a very generous pour Margarita :), but I can tell in the 30+ years of buying/playing/collecting vinyl, this is an outstanding vinyl pressing of this album. Enjoy!

"You're not alone", "You're wonderful". Bowie no doubt saved lives with these lyrics. Indeed, what's not to like about extending love and acceptance to the lonely and different? His "look" was amazing, his sounds were a pure adrenaline rush of catchy riffs and choruses. Nothing like it had ever been seen or heard before.
Eventually David would experiment with other types of music. He was a notable "tastemaker", speaking well of artists he admired in interviews, which sent us all scampering to check them out. Often he would help raise their profile by producing or writing for them, which was very generous. Even when he would borrow an idea and build on it, he would acknowledge its origin. Out of all his fellow-rockers, Bowie had the most perfect 1970's - never planting a foot wrong. He aced the decade with one masterpiece album after another. I will add that most of his rivals were a songwriting team (Jagger-Richards, Lennon-McCartney), while David mainly did it all himself. For innovation and variety, Bowie stands alone at the head of the 70's class, though I continue enjoying everything he ever did.
It's always intrigued me that Bowie and Elvis Presley were both born on January 8th. The two great RCA superstars, singers, actors, and master showmen. What to speak of influencers.
And so, in a better world where he would've turned 75 today, I celebrate the life and career of my favorite artist and my favorite number one album of all time.
Highly recommended.
become part of Glam-Rock, a subgenre that showcase flashy costumes and stylish
improvisational rock which swayed with exhilarating hard-driving rock and roll. The
Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars caused quite a media
stir when it electrified the music world and told the story about a liberating rock star
from Outer Space who lands on Earth as the album became a extravagant success
and a blockbuster hit. Beginning with the opening arrival Five Years, the track set
blasts off and conclude with Soul Love, Moonage Daydream, the majestic Starman,
Hang On To Yourself, Ziggy Stardust, the electrifying Suffocate City, and Rock And
Roll Suicide, as it chronicles the androgynous alien rock star's rise to notoriety, just
to later fall from grace. Plus, what you get on the expanded edition alternate takes
on Moonage Daydream and Hang On To Yourself, extra tracks like the Top Ten hit
John, I'm Only Dancing; Velvet Goldmine; Round And Round, and delightful demos
of Lady Stardust (piano solo) and Ziggy Stardust (acoustic guitar). By successfully
borrowing from Marc Bolan's glam-rock merit and the `future shock' of A Clockwork
Orange (no violence allowed!), Bowie would reach back to the heavy rock heralded
by an off-kilter metallic mix of fatter guitar solos, genuine pop music, string sections
and cinematic-style flourishes. Officially described as the manifestation of an alien
being attempting to bring a message of love and hope during it's five year stay, but
to be accidentally destroyed by his consumptions and the fans he represented, this
landmark masterwork is backed by Mark Ronson's solid guitar attacks and its boss
saxophone section that helped make The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The
Spiders From Mars is such a glitzy keyboard and guitar wielding spectacle that will
always shine as bright as ever for the ages--and beyond.

It seems his 5 years were on the spot; beyond lies another world in the two timely directions. That of the shapeless past and that of the yet unforeseen future. But some songs are immortal.
Elvis might have been the king, but Bowie will ever be the magician.
I'm just glad we can still hear the love he had for all humanity.
