headstar,

I have that collection. Surprisingly, the audio on
"Legacy", mastered by Ray Staff, is not really
brickwalled. Yes, there is some minor dynamic
compression, but overall, the mastering is well done, in
my opinion. ]]> Tue, 13 Oct 2020 18:08:17 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7642&PID=56223&title=david-bowie-lets-dance#56223 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7642&PID=56221&title=david-bowie-lets-dance#56221 Author: headstar

Does anyone have the 2016 release "Legacy"? Is that singles collection brickwalled? ]]> Tue, 13 Oct 2020 12:01:27 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7642&PID=56221&title=david-bowie-lets-dance#56221 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7642&PID=55967&title=david-bowie-lets-dance#55967 Author: aaronk

I was able to replicate the 45 edit using the 1990 full-length "Let's Dance" CD. I agree that it sounds better than Best Of Bowie.]]> Fri, 25 Sep 2020 11:57:49 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7642&PID=55967&title=david-bowie-lets-dance#55967 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7642&PID=55965&title=david-bowie-lets-dance#55965 Author: David Pro

It's too bad that the correct 45
edits of "Let's Dance", "China
Girl", and "Modern Love" started
appearing during the loudness war
era with the release of Best of
Bowie in 2002. I'm wondering if
the single masters for those tracks
were unavailable at the time
Changesbowie was being
compiled since this compilation
includes tracks from the Bowie
albums released originally by RCA,
but Let's Dance (the parent
album for the title track, "China
Girl", and "Modern Love") and
Tonight (the parent album
for "Blue Jean") were released by
EMI, so it's likely that Ryko
decided to create their own edits
of the Let's Dance singles
attempting to match their 45 edits
using the LP versions rather than
using the actual single masters.

Has anyone attempted a true 45 edit using a source better
than the 2002 Best Of Bowie?]]> Fri, 08 Nov 2013 14:34:28 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7642&PID=39622&title=david-bowie-lets-dance#39622 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7642&PID=38916&title=david-bowie-lets-dance#38916 Author: MMathews

Ah OK i hear it very clearly now in the sample.

The original 45 made the edit 2 drum beats later than the
mistaken/Ryko edit does.
This results in an extra guitar lick that was omitted from
the original 45. MM ]]> Sat, 24 Aug 2013 23:33:03 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7642&PID=38916&title=david-bowie-lets-dance#38916 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7642&PID=38915&title=david-bowie-lets-dance#38915 Author: crapfromthepast

Thanks for the reminder.

The edit in question falls between 3:37 and 3:38 on all the
CDs I have. It's on a bass drum hit.]]> Sat, 24 Aug 2013 16:40:14 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7642&PID=38915&title=david-bowie-lets-dance#38915 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7642&PID=38914&title=david-bowie-lets-dance#38914 Author: Pat Downey

Crap you mentioned that you were going to post the exact timing location where the editing point is in error but you have not posted that time yet.]]> Sat, 24 Aug 2013 13:38:51 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7642&PID=38914&title=david-bowie-lets-dance#38914 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7642&PID=38900&title=david-bowie-lets-dance#38900 Author: aaronk

Check out the clip that Ron linked above. It's a mistake on the edit
during the guitar solo. ]]> Thu, 22 Aug 2013 07:12:58 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7642&PID=38900&title=david-bowie-lets-dance#38900 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7642&PID=38899&title=david-bowie-lets-dance#38899 Author: The Hits Man
