"Compared to my original pressings of these three albums [Hunky Dory, Ziggy & Aladdin Sane], Rhino's 180-gram LPs boast quieter pressings, cleaner sound, tighter imaging, more depth, and greater clarity, and the same high standards are mirrored throughout the set." - Jeff Wilson, The Absolute Sound Read The Full Review Here!
On June 23, 1971, David Bowie performed for the first time at what was then known as the Glastonbury Fair. In the year 2015, Parlophone Records proudly announces the release of DAVID BOWIE FIVE YEARS 1969 1973, the first in a series of box sets spanning his career.
