Any stand outs you would recommend?

@Cryptowolf The hi-res of Pin-Ups is spectacular. Either the old RCA CD or the old Rykodisc CD of Aladdin Sane, both have wonderful tonality and detail. There's a hi-res mastering of Station to Station from the big box set from 2010 that is easily the best STS mastering I've heard but it's long OOP.

I think there was a 3-CD STS release that has the same mastering on CD.

Thank you! I trust your ears so now I know what to look for.

My rule is when @Merrick likes a particular CD master, just buy it.

Y’all are making me blush! Thanks!

@Cryptowolf and @Boops, here is my full list of preferences for Bowie’s RCA era: https://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/revisiting-ryko-bowie.933356/page-20#post-29104057

Damn, now I have to track down that Station to Station DVD

@dmckean44 It was part of that big Station to Station box set released in 2010. https://www.discogs.com/release/2462207-David-Bowie-Station-To-Station

Pricing for that Au20 Low disc is insane on Discogs. Can hardly be had for under $50. Making an offer on something...

@Boops The Au20 discs were rare and cost extra even when they were first made around ‘96/‘97, so $50 doesn’t sound too bad all things considered. Be careful because not all the Au20 masterings are great.
