The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars by David Bowie

The LP is in perfect condition. I bought it at the PX at Zaragoza AB, Spain in 1978. Discwasher products used on the stylus and LP with a shot of Zerostat. Lots of static here in the dry dry dry Sonoran Desert. I saw a gila monster in walgreens today buying some Curel lotion.

Pro-Ject Debut III turntable, basic black, Ortofon 5E cartridge aligned perfectly at the factory. Stock cables.

Cambridge Audio A500 preamp section

Tandberg 3003A amp. It's old, but it's good.

Ten-year-old Monster Cable, 12 guage

JMLab Chorus 714S floor standing speakers. Best (not most expensive) speakers I've ever had. I ran the blockade. Sorry 'bout that.

Drink: Chocolate Soldier (just as good as YooHoo)

Smoke: Padron 2000

Excellent distortion-free recording. Nice dynamics, sparkling highs, tight solid controlled bass, sweet warm vinyl midrange a little bit forward as I like it. Very balanced, top to bottom. I have the bass tweaked to about 2 o'clock on the A500.

Very nice rock and roll, Bowie style. I like LPs that tell a story. Bowie is one of my guilty pleasures.

I'm recording it to a CD with my HK CDR26 so I can listen to it in the truck.

Highly recommended.

Nice LP. Used to listen to that all the time growing up. Sadly the album belonged to my brother so it's currently on my ISO list.

Ever listen to "Pinups"? He covers old British acts. Some good tunes there.
