White Hot StamperDavid Bowie
Lodger
(Item #: bowielodge_1903_2)
Our Price: $399.99
- A KILLER copy with Triple Plus (A+++) sound on the first side and solid Double Plus (A++) sound on the second
- This copy was doing it all right -- bigger, richer, more full-bodied, more present, better bass and the list goes on
- Exceptionally quiet vinyl throughout -- Mint Minus to Mint Minus Minus
- "Lodger is the most accessible of the three Berlin-era records David Bowie made with Brian Eno, simply because there are no instrumentals and there are a handful of concise pop songs. Nevertheless, Lodger is still gnarled and twisted avant pop... It might not stretch the boundaries of rock like Low and Heroes, but it arguably utilizes those ideas in a more effective fashion." -- All Music

Scary Monsters

- The best British pressings like this one are big and clear yet rich and smooth, the best of all possible worlds
- This UK LP plays about as quietly as any we have heard - Mint Minus to Mint Minus Minus
- 5 Stars: "David Bowie returned to relatively conventional rock & roll with Scary Monsters, an album that effectively acts as an encapsulation of all his '70s experiments. Reworking glam rock themes with avant-garde synth flourishes, and reversing the process as well, Bowie creates dense but accessible music throughout Scary Monsters."
