David Bowie – ChangesBowie

20 bit master/ 24K gold CD.

Information from back of wrap around J-card:
"AU20 is a limited edition series of the 'sonic bests' from the Rykodisc and Hannibal catalogue. The AU20 trademark distinguishes enhanced audiophile editions of 20-bit digital masters replicated in limited edition release on 24K gold CDs. To insure [sic] the most accurate reproduction of the music, all analogue to 20-bit digital conversion is from the original master tapes. Releases in the AU20 series include all artwork from the original albums and are individually numbered."

Note: This edition of ChangesBowie replaced "Fame '90 Remix" with the original album version of "Fame." However, the front insert still lists the track list as containing the "Fame '90 remix." The back insert of the CD lists "Fame" rather than "Fame '90 Remix" but omits "Diamond Dogs." The back of the J-card wrap list all tracks correctly.

Comes with an individually numbered parchment-type insert which includes detailed explanation of the 20-bit Super Bit Mapping (SBM) process used to create these audiophile CDs.

Also note that the insert advises that the AU20 CDs were not for sale outside the US and Canada.
