The album “Ziggy Stardust” was released in 1972 as David Bowie’s fifth original album, and is not only a masterpiece of the 70s but also one of the most historic masterpieces in rock history. As befitting a masterpiece, it has been released in many forms around the world, and since the 1980s, various remastered CDs and limited editions have been released, and the sound quality and content have changed over time. The original analog sound source from the time of the album’s release, which is different from the current remastered CDs, has a different sound texture depending on the era and country of mastering and cutting, and there are also differences depending on the format such as record or tape. Although analog sound sources have characteristics that are not found in standardized digital remasters, including differences in sound quality, original records and limited editions are now traded at high prices due to their rarity, making them increasingly difficult to obtain, and are super premium treasure collector’s items. This vintage analog sound source collection is a sound reference that allows you to listen to carefully selected original analog sound sources and check the differences, and is a sound source collection that literally converts the original analog sound sources engraved on records and tapes before CD remastering directly into digital form. The first half of the CD is a complete reproduction of the high-quality MFSL analog sound source, which is evaluated as the supreme analog master among many collector’s items and is extremely difficult to obtain. This is a direct recording of the original record that was released in 1981 by Mobile Fidelity (MFSL), a company that reproduces many masterpieces with the highest sound quality faithful to the original sound. The clear, well-balanced, and rich sound from low to high tones is a sound unique to mobile records that cannot be heard anywhere else, and is a sound worthy of a high-quality record. This is a sound source that can be said to be the supreme analog master, and has been praised by collectors around the world as the best sound of this MFSL record, from the original first edition in 1972 to the recent reissues. The second half of the album includes a valuable 8-track tape sound source that was only available in limited quantities in the 1970s. Although the 8-track tape sound source is inferior in sound quality, it is a rare sound source that is attracting attention as an alternate mix with different stereo separation, with a track order that ignores the original and a dynamic sound like mono. The DVD is a high-resolution audio DVD, containing 96khz/24bit high-resolution audio that reproduces the MFSL analog sound source with sound quality higher than CD. The sound of the original master recording is reproduced more realistically. In addition, the DVD screen allows you to switch between different sound sources by audio selection, and you can compare and play four types of sound sources by selecting the audio option: US reel master tape, which features a flat and straight sound, UK first edition analog sound source, which has a thick mid-low range and a different sound texture, and DYNAFLEX promo disc, which has outstanding sound freshness. Furthermore, the difference in sound can be heard more clearly when playing with headphones. The playback screen is a slide show format where the photo image changes for each song, using the jacket outtake. In addition, 8-track tape sound source is also recorded on the DVD as an additional section. Nowadays, each of these albums is a super-premium collector’s item that is difficult to obtain, so it takes time, money, and effort to collect all the original masters, but for now, it is a useful audio album that allows you to easily compare the differences and is recorded together with sound quality higher than CD.
