My favorite is the 1981 UK reissue mastered by Jack Adams. Look for JA Tape one in the deadwax. I like it more than the first UK and you can find it cheaper and cleaner.

Sounds interesting’ I’ll try to find one and compare it!

I love my 1976 Japanese first press signed by David Bowie in the same year of the release (1976). It includes the Obi strip. I'm a collector of Bowie's albums autographed by him and having a signature made the same year of the release is very difficult to get so it's very special for me, also considering that Station to Station is my top 3 Bowie's records in any specific order and most of the times I think is my favorite one. One of my dreams is to obtain all his studio albums (excluding Black Star because for obvious reasons Bowie didn't have enough time to autograph this masterpiece for his fans) and I know it's going to be a very difficult work for a normal young fan from Perú. At the time I only have 2 more albums with these characteristics: Low and Ziggy Stardust. Also, I have other 5 autographed studio albums but they were signed years after their release and I also love them, specially Hunky Dory which was the first autographed album that I could get. Is a UK first press but the signature is from the time of Ziggy Stardust (1972). Over time I'm going to sell those albums who doesn't meet the specifications of Ziggy, STS, and Low, apart from Hunky Dory because as I said before it has a deeper meaning to me because was the start of my journey as a collector. The others are Scary Monster, Heroes, Aladin Sane and Diamond Dogs. I'm doing that only to save the money when I finally can find them signed the same years of their release, which is a very difficult job. All of them have an authenticity certificate made and signed by Andy Peters, the founder of David Bowie Autograph, and are in great condition with a big clear signature that obviously depends on the year when they were signed (Bowie's signature changes over time). So if someone is interested feel free to get in contact with me via my email: luisgustavocg@gmail.com to get more details and pics. I hope one day I can achieve my dream because Bowie is my favourite no academic musician, for me the greatest solo artist in this world and listening to his music really changed my life and my perception of art. Sadly I've discovered him since 2021, after his death which is something I regret because with some luck maybe I could have met him in person on the Heathen and Reality tour although I was very young but fuck at least I couldn't mourn properly his death because I have no idea who was this giant of all time music.

In my opinion the US 1st pressing with AZ for Allen Zentz and a Hollywood pressing is absolutely amazing. I have a NM promo and it’s silent and super dynamic.

I had to check; but coincidentally the US copy I reviewed in this video is a AZ. Might be that the NM promo adds to the sound quality!

Interesting.....going to get that 2010 mix. I have the original US mix. I went to the 1976 show in Detroit and that blew me away. Love Bowie and this album, Any suggestions on Diamond Dogs?

Wow! That sounds like an awesome show to attend! Diamond Dogs was a tough one for me to find the right version; the remaster from the box is okay, I tried the Dutch pressing because it was partially recorded in The Netherlands but I wasn’t impressed. The best version I have tried is the 1st UK which I found two years ago in London.

2010 is the best StationtoStation mix

Thanks for doing this comparison! Have you done a comparison of Hunky Dory?

Not yet on video! But I don’t have a lot of different pressings. The first one I owned was a 1973 Italian pressing but right after that I found a 1971 1st UK which is basically believed to be the best one. When I put them next to eachother the difference was one of the biggest I have experienced. I love the 1st UK.
