    My copy:

    APRS-6814-6S A1B R
    APRS-6815-4S A1A R

    Don’t see this combo listed above.
    I assume A1B and A1A vs. A/B and A/A since others are listed that way.

      Satisfied but I wish the pressing was a bit hotter.

        Pretty exceptional. Question… does anyone’s volume seriously spike in the first chorus of soul love?

          Excellent sounding record!

          I grabbed my copy on a whim at a local record show based on the reputation the Bowie Dynaflex records had. I only really knew “Suffragette City,” so I decided to take a chance and use this as a way to experience the album for the first time.

          I can happily say, at least in this case, the reputation of the Bowie Dynaflexes is well earned! Very nice mastering with clear, defined sound, I especially like the way the drums and guitar sound, along with Bowie’s vocals. All presented very well here.

          Grab it if you find it!

            Credit to RCA for basically making a giant flexi disc that actually sounds good.

              Dynaflex gets a bad rap, but this album sounds pretty incredible; though, a lot can probably be chalked up to excellent mastering. On my copy there is narry a pop or click throughout. Instruments are well separated, vocals are clear, and there's a good sense of space. I haven't compared to any other versions, but this one sounds so good that I have no urge to get anything different. If you come across one, don't hesitate.

                I have this version with similar Matrix/runout, but with blck RCA Victor labels.
                • roufok_3000
                  This is the most thin & flexible vinyl I have ever touched...the sound remains warm, clear & vintage.

                    I think I have this copy as well, but with some variations in the Matrix/Runout.
                    (Side 1 etched): APRS-6814-7S-A1D R
                    (Side 2: etched): APRS-6815-4S A3N R

                      My copy has APRS 6814 5S stamped in the matrix. This copy seems to be the closest to mine aside from those last two matrix numbers. Is mine a later pressing?
