      A fine collection of songs. The 4 records play like a dream with no noise or pops. Nice box too. Highly recommended if you’re still on the fence
      • alexgoodnycrecords's avatar
        How much of this recording is present in the new Bowie box set? Is this worth seeking?

            Does anyone's copy skip like crazy? The record is very clean but none of my discs will play through without skipping every 30 seconds or so :/

            EDIT - After my stylus ran it's life and I bought a new one, the problem was fixed. I suspect this pressing is very sensitive and if not 100% properly aligned it will not play. I suggest those of you still having issues should try altering your needle/arm configuration slightly and it will solve the problem.

              My copy sounds fantastic, as does the Bowie 5 Years box from Parlophone. Nary a pop or crackle.
