Hello! I have a typewriter written text with alterations by hand in my copy. Containing the text to breaking glass, what in the world, sound and vision, always crashing cars and be my wife. The two page letter i stamped with David Bowie´s Fan Club and 1977 RCA Victor, and the letter head says RCA Records 1977. There are a number of suggestions for alternating the text made by three different ink types, and the same handwriting. Does anyone know what this is? -
I usually go with Low being my favourite Bowie album when anyone asks, and I'm happy to keep that answer up. I would have had no problem if Eno's name appeared prominently on the cover as well, so much does his influence touch this album, especially on the B-side. Such great rock songs on the A-side; "Sound and Vision" might be my favourite Bowie track of all times. And the soundscapes built up on the other side are a joy to listen to, pushing rock music into deep and different territories.
This Canadian cut is okay. It could stand to have more sound separation, with everything feeling a little too close together. But that could be the master. I'd be interesting in hearing a remaster of this album to see if a modern approach to it gives Low the space it needs. -
An acceptable pressing. I haven't heard other versions but there is something to be desired. Doesn't jump out of the speakers like an original Canadian Ziggy or Hunky Dory does. Although Heroes is the same so it could be the way the Berlin Trilogy was mastered -
Can you double check your Matrix / Stamp # / Serial #?
I think this is the same as mine but my info is:
Side A: L1-2030-A #2 TXD
Sis B: L1-2030-B TXD
THANK YOU -
