April 2023 marks the 50th anniversary of the release of David Bowie's 'Aladdin sane', which was released only ten months after his breakthrough album 'The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars' (1972). The title track and songs such as 'Panic in Detroit', 'Lady Grinning Soul' and 'Time' marked a significant musical progression from its predecessor, adding brass, woodwind, soulful backing vocals and the distinctive piano playing of Mike Garson. This pressing was cut on a customised late Neumann VMS80 lathe with fully recapped electronics from 192kHz restored masters of the original master tapes, with no additional processing on transfer.

Held off getting this - was convinced it was a money making edition!... however.....
I was completely blown away as to how good this Half Speed Master sounds!No need to discuss the content, it's Aladdin Sane!Being the owner of an original UK LP 1973 release, 2 x CD releases (1990, 2003 30th Anniversary edition) and the 2016 Silver vinyl release. This Half speed Master in my opinion blows them all clean out of the water!Excellent channel spacing, Basses and trebles balanced perfectly.180g LP comes in copy of original inner bag - no warping, scuffs or marks, plays and sounds amazing on my mid priced Marantz/ audio technica system.Artwork is a good copy. Have been acquainted with this LP for decades and this is the best sounding version I have heard.Recommended! (from some one as sceptical as me, who was convinced that this was a merely a Record company money maker - praise indeed!)

Classic
A product of a place in time. A favourite album for a plethora of reasons. The half speed master offers a wider sound, and a number of other noticible changes. Some may listen and not notice any real discernable differences but this doesn't detract from what a brilliant album it is.
