Hi vinyljunkie, i commented on your previous video and at the time I was a bit sceptical about this box because of the contents and price but last week I thought to myself "Ah what the hell! go for it!" and i decided to buy it and now I'm so glad that I did, loving the new Lodger 2017 TV mix and Low too both sound superb, looking forward to hearing Stage 2017 and will probably give that a spin tomorrow night, enjoy watching your reviews, keep up the good work.
I received my box on release day. The whole thing is absolutely fantastic. I compared the individual albums to the UK originals and it is amazing how accurate the reproductions are. I also noticed that the gray of the "Heroes" cover is a lot darker. I do not know why this has been done, otherwise it's a perfect replica of the original. I have read some early reviews and there seems to be a volume drop on the "Heroes" album around three minutes into the title song. I will be able to listen to some of the albums today. I have been looking forward to do that for a very very long time. Great unboxing video and I do hope You will enjoy your box set. take care :-))
Jos Housen thank you for your kind words, I'll keep doing videos for now if people like them! I'll do a full reaction/review later on the week so you can hear my thoughts on the whole thing...
Hi. It looks like there is a lttle bit more volume at 2.46 minutes in the song Heroes and a drop of sound about 2.51 minutes into the song. It is not that annoying but it shouldn't be with the modern mixing consoles. Otherwise it is a great set. Thanks for the unboxing. Hoping to hear your opinion about the sound drop.
Paul Winnett hi, I'll look to do a full reaction video later on the week but the remixed Stage is a really great addition. Far better than the original yellow version.
Vinyl Junkie please do, Stage is the first Album I ever owned, I just think its terrifically underrated, and I was talked out of buying the yellow vinyl version by my idiot cousin!
Vinyl Junkie because he was sensible and yellow vinyl was inferior to black! Interesting the original version of Lodger was shockingly flimsy, great album tho, shame they didn't replicate the original Baal ep
you look great as always like your beard a lot looks smart on you hope you will let it grow thank you for always a good rewiev there a lot of mistakes on the albums says the fans hope you soon will make a new video again
A lot of people are returning this box set from amazon because the sound on them is meant to be absolutely shocking, think I’m glad I cancelled this box set with all the bad reviews on it.
can't you guys just record more of the vinyl and covers than you record yourself? I'm not here to watch you or a history lesson I just want to see the damn bowie box! I'll just go buy it nvmd

I think if such a blunder was on any other song it would not stand out so much, but especially Heroes, which is all about building the intensity...
When are you going to review Loving the alien box?
I don’t think VJ was going to get it
I'd be interested to know what you think of Stage, it has a bad rep but I think the live versions of some songs are superior to the originals

Paul Winnett idiot indeed!! What was his rationale?

480p ?? We live in a HD world these days you know. ^^ Just received that same box couple of days ago with the same Heroes bullshit as everyone.
Philippe Heritier terrible bandwidth I'm afraid, if you wanted to see it this decade anyway! Apart from the heroes blunder... I'm loving this set!
That's good to hear. I'm still waiting on buying it, but I would love to have these on vinyl! It looks beautiful. Thanks for the video.
you look great as always like your beard a lot looks smart on you hope you will let it grow thank you for always a good rewiev there a lot of mistakes on the albums says the fans hope you soon will make a new video again
It could be nice if you made a review after you listen to the box (remember let the beard grow wau )
when are you making a new video we miss you(remember wtih beard you look even greater)
A lot of people are returning this box set from amazon because the sound on them is meant to be absolutely shocking, think I’m glad I cancelled this box set with all the bad reviews on it.
Wonder if the sound issues are the same on the c ds ??
Star, just star. Not starman?
Oh come on you are NOT a David Bowie fan if you don't know the song star.
tony nooren I do know the song, of course. In the moment I was excited about the box and did' even consider it!
can't you guys just record more of the vinyl and covers than you record yourself? I'm not here to watch you or a history lesson I just want to see the damn bowie box! I'll just go buy it nvmd
Then look at the 35 second thing the Bowie people put out already with the flying images.
