I have to say it is the ugliest of the 5 boxes cover art

About par for the course with Prime, honestly.

Yup, Jeff B's c0ck-rocket is super fast in eastern Canada. I will sometimes order a record a Friday night and have it delivered by 2pm the next day.

Parlaphone has done a great job on the pressing for all the boxes. Also some of the cleanest new vinyl around

Also, if anyone cares, I would have saved an additional $5 if I bought today - C$378 now. Wasn't sure how much lower it could go, so I pulled the trigger. Box 4 is actually selling for more right now. That one is so weird - I was waiting for it to drop below $200 when it was hovering around $230-$240 a few years back, now it's always over $300. But boxes #2 and #3 could still be had for good prices.

Quick comment as I begin spinning some of these. I remember quite liking Black Tie White Noise when it came out. Pretty much my first Bowie album after getting the Changesbowie comp. I liked Bowie before, growing up in the 80's, but mostly as a Video artist. I started paying more attention with Tin Machine of all things.
Anyway, while I played Black Tie White Noise back then, I never revisited it much. All this to say I'm enjoying this spin quite a bit right now. Some great horns on this.
The records I was less enthused about in this set are Outside and Earthling. Played those a lot too back then but I always felt they didn't age well. Will be interesting to see if that impression still holds. That said, Outside still has one of my favorite Bowie tracks in Strangers When We Meet.

My head was way too straight for this light show. Way overpriced but still glad I captured it.
Predictably, nothing off Outside or Earthling!
Ugh - static and mic artifacts. I bought new ones but just leery about taking them out just yet with all the traveling I want to do. I am way too hard on these. Crammed in my pocket for long bus ride, crammed into my hiding spot even before ticket shopping so I can be ready to go right in or in this case, just running the 8 blocks to my bus stop so I can catch the next bus without being stuck on the street for another hour.

Thanks I will grab it and give it a listen.

Ziggy 50th Anniversary - Half-Speed master. Plus there is another picture disc version coming out as well.
No pressing details. Unless it is looking to be an amazing pressing, I don't need another copy.

It's so hard to know whether or not to jump on this. His stuff sells out so fast to begin with, do I grab this while the gettin' is good? I know it's probably sacrilege, but Ziggy is probably a middle-tier Bowie record for me, however, I have the 2020 pressing, which has problems. Will this be any better? UGH!!!!!!

My guess is this will be available in a lot of places. There is no language on the webpage that sounds like it is exclusive to Bowie/Warners stores like the live series from 2020.
If it is Abbey Road doing the Half-Speed mastering, my guess it will be a hi-res digital edition.
Edit: Just noticed there is an obi on the 50th. Says it is from hi-res transfer of original tapes.

More info and a much better price here: https://store.rhino.com/music/vinyl...-mars-50th-anniversary-half-speed-master.html
"This new pressing of THE RISE AND FALL OF ZIGGY STARDUST AND THE SPIDERS FROM MARS was cut on a customized late Neumann VMS80 lathe with fully recapped electronics from 192kHz restored masters of the original Trident Studios master tapes, with no additional processing on transfer. The half speed was cut by John Webber at AIR Studios."

I have it, but have not listened to it. I don’t own any copies of it, so I grabbed it from Amazon when it was $62. Currently priced at ~$75. The reviews look good on Discogs.
