Anyone pick up ChangesNowBowie? Didn't realize what it entailed until last week, nice little 50th bday acoustic. I did pick it up on the 29th, haven't listened to either yet.

I picked it up, haven;t listened to it yet, but what I read about this one is again, very good sound and pressing and the cd has a good dynamic range.

Not as important, but the Is It Any Wonder? EP is a nice compliment that came out in February.

For those who care here is a quoted post from hoffman forum about this cd release

I have "I'm Only Dancing" on CD, considering the fact the lineage is from "recently discovered sources", I was pleasantly surprised by the sound quality and decent mastering, definitely better than expected Not audiophile quality, which is why I didn't get the vinyl, and David's voice a bit hoarse but the passion was most definitely there and the performance was great, well worth the $17 I spent on it.

I agree with hoffman, but the vinyl is a must and i think to complement this great edition you should listen to the other RSD edition of Bowie in 96: Changesnowbowie .Great versions and superb sound.You can buy it on vinyl

It's from 1997. But I gotta say I'm not such a big fan of them acoustic 1997 performances compared to most shows of 1995-1997. But by all means...it's very good.

Re: I'm Only Dancing, I love it, especially the 2nd half. And them 2 bonus tracks from Nov. 20th are so wild, I'm glad they included them.
