Vinyl LP pressing. Digitally remastered edition. Low is the eleventh studio album by English musician David Bowie, released on RCA Records in January 1977. Recorded following Bowie's move to West Berlin after a period of drug addiction and personal instability, Low became the first of three collaborations with musician Brian Eno and producer Tony Visconti, later termed the Berlin Trilogy. The album was in fact recorded largely in France, and marked a shift in Bowie's musical style toward an electronic and avant-garde approach that would be further explored on subsequent albums Heroes (1977) and Lodger (1979). Though it was initially met with mixed critical reviews, Low has since become widely acclaimed as one of Bowie's best and most influential works. Review: Beautiful and haunting. - A wonderfully remastered edition of David's classic "Low" album on vinyl, and while I miss the bonus content I've been used to enjoying all these decades - my first ever copy was the Rykodisc rerelease in the early nineties with its excellent bonus material - it is nevertheless a wonderful listening experience. For those who do not know, this was a soundtrack that David was attempting to prepare for his movie "The Man Who Fell To Earth", but was surprisingly turned down by the director. No matter; the music is still available, and that's what counts. :) The term "science fiction" could easily have been invented for this album, especially side two. David works with Brian Eno to craft superb melodies and haunting landscapes of both interplanetary and eerily haunting beauty. If you're a scifi fan but haven't yet checked David out, this is a great place to start. Review: Great album - One of bowies best. Love it from front to back.

A fitting remaster
I’ve been listening to this album dating all the way back to its initial release in 1977. As a teenager sound quality was pretty irrelevant as I was just happy to enjoy the music. As I grew older sound quality became much more important and all of AAD transfers that I owned / had of Low were plagued by a very anemic bass. Even the remastered Japanese import suffered from this weakness but to a lesser degree. Just happened to find the most recent remaster and boy does it deliver in spades. Bass is rich and deep so that it finally fills out that tinny recording of past remastered reissues. If you’re a fan of this album ditch your old CD and buy this one you’ll not be disappointed. One thing to mention I do have 2 subwoofers so your results will vary.

Cheap jacket quality. Standard pressing. Nothing special.
Amazing record. 180 gram black vinyl but very cheap jacket quality. I should have held out for a higher quality pressing. For the price i shouldn't have expected a nice cover or remastered versions.

Perfect condition, superb album, Bowie at his best!
The CD itself and the CD case came in perfect condition, well-timed, as expected. The remaster is wonderful, clarity of sound, rich and clear, lets you listen and "observe". Low was the first ever album and tracklist I listened to of Bowie, even before Space Oddity. Even without the sentiments, now knowing all his works, Low stays as a masterpiece and truly one of the highest peaks of his mountain range career. A new stage and image, a vibrant one, emerging from the occult-haunted and self-destructive Bowie. The album is euphoric, stimulated and beautiful with its bright beauty, finally ending in an atmospheric electronic instrumental, as if a fadeout, emotional and physical exhaustion. The album is better to listen as a whole, but some tracks really stand out, one of them being an all-time great "Sound and Vision".
