40 years ago ziggy arrives, i have been listening to the anniversary edition new master and can't say how impressed i am, i mean the original was pretty brilliant, but this version is really like hearing it anew, the sound is so clear and the nuances off the musicianship shines through. i feel an incredible relationship with this cd, it's part of my history, but to hear this mix is really an exercise in appreciation.
the backing vocals leap out as being outstanding, i'm not sure how they technically do this but it works so effectively. the backing vocalists are bowie, ronson and dana gillespie and they really are quite exceptional.
ziggy is a bit like 'dark side' everyone has two copies, the vinyl and the cd, but it really is worth while getting hold of the new master, it will surprise you in many ways. they don't make bands like this any more, although the church attain the same level of mastery, don't believe me, you were not at the enmore.
