Studio Quality 9.4 As expected, these are from studios sessions and having been remastered (to freshen the old tapes up), it sounds quite good. The material sounds a bit dated though, I mean I know it is Bowie but it’s probably not his best stuff in my opinion…some people like it though. David Bowie - Sigma Sound 1974 1. Young Americans [first take] 0:20. An incomplete version with no vocal. 2. Young Americans [second take] 2:57. An incomplete version which ends with David laughing after singing “President Nixon.” 3. Young Americans [third take] 5:40. A complete version with slight lyrical differences to the finished version. 4. Shilling The Rubes 5:09. Complete version. Towards the end of the song David says, “That’s going to be very nice when it’s got its hat on!” 5. I’m A Laser (The Gouster) 6:09. Complete version. 6. After Today 4:42. Complete version but played at a much faster tempo than the version released by Ryko in 1989. 7. Sweet Thing 4:43 (Ava Cherry on lead vocals). All tracks recorded on 13 Aug 1974 except track 7 which was recorded on 9 Jul 1974. -
Soundboard 9.0 - Sounds kind of thin and compressed to me but it is perfectly clear being a modern sdbrd. Features songs with Nine Inch Nails, and a lot of good bonus material. All in all a very good CD! -
Pro Studio and Live 9.0 - Consistent, with some obvious age related issues present on some cuts but overall pretty much in the pocket. -
Audience 6.9 - Bowie clearly audible above the din. Not great separation of instruments, with some minor analog tape saturation at full volume. -
Audience 7.3 - Pretty clear with a bit of hall space that gives it some atmosphere. Enjoyable! -
Soundboard 9.7 -
Audience 9.6 - Marvelous recording captures every nuance in pristine, clear, full quality. -
Audience 9.7 - The detail, the atmosphere, the depth, and finally THE PERFORMANCE. Wow man, this is almost better than being there. I save a ton of money, and parking stress! Get this!

Audience 8.9 - A recording that seems to “rise above” the din because literally it sounds like the mic was over the crowd. It makes for a more immersive experience, and the fact that the dynamics are good and the sound is clear…well it just goes to prove once again that a well made audience tape is more than welcome in any real live music collection.
