DAVID BOWIE: Heroes (ULTRA RARE 1999 JAPANESE 24bit Remaster CD TOCP-65315)

Description: DAVID BOWIE: Heroes (EXTREMELY RARE 1999 JAPAN 24bit DIGITAL REMASTER CD TOCP-65315) LONG OUT OF PRINT. The David Bowie 24bit Digital Remaster Series No.11 In 1999 Toshiba-EMI Japan re-issued the entire David Bowie catalogue of albums. They were carefully digitally re-mastered to 24bit digital. The ORIGINAL ANALOG MASTER TAPES WERE USED FOR THE FIRST TIME FOR CD MASTERING. The original RCA CD's were mastered from copies of the Vinyl LP masters which sound great on vinyl but very thin on a CD. In 1990, Ryko remastered and issued the CD's at a time when mastering studio software was in it's infancy and the results were reasonable but a little lifeless. The Ryko discs are mainly sought after because some have bonus tracks. This was the first time they were properly mastered for CD by Peter Mew at Abbey Road Studios and they sound amazing. There are no bonus tracks etc, because the main aim here is to make the entire catalogue as David Bowie himself intended, every album as it was originally released but beautifully bought up to CD standard for the first time and to preserve the integrity of each album. These original analogue masters have been digitally transferred at 24 bits resolution using Abbey Road Technology, processed using Sonic Solutions No-Noise technology and mastered to 16 bit for CD using Prism SNS Noise Shaping. This brilliant album, serves as a timeless masterpiece and tribute to DAVID BOWIE on CD. It is, in my opinion one of the greatest albums ever recorded and certainly a pinnacle of the 70's. This is an extremely rare BRAND NEW 1999 Japanese CD ISSUE OF HEROES. This is 1st Japanese release of 1999 master (digitally remastered at Abbey Road Studio in London) which was released world-wide as part of "The David Bowie Series" (11th CD in this series; Japanese release is only one that has this number printed - it is on obi's spine). ONE OF THE JEWELS OF MY COLLECTION. I personally love all the Japanese issues above the rest of the world, not only sonically but for the fantastic packaging. I have another copy of this CD and it sounds awesome. As a collector the most important thing is rarity. There aren't many of these around, and I can't find another COPY of this anywhere else in the world that is mint, brand new, still factory sealed like mine at the time of making this ad. As the years go by, these albums are going to get harder and harder to find as CD production is falling every year. It won't be long before rare CD's are selling for more than vinyl. CD's don't wear out, vinyl records do. I grew up with vinyl but the only thing I miss are the covers. I love collecting Japanese CD's, they are generally superior quality to the rest of the world on every level in my opinion. All the JAPANESE CD's I own are the best sounding in the world with very few exceptions!! IT IS BRAND NEW STILL FACTORY SEALED. Has been packed away in storage for over 25 years!

The satchels also give me enough room for protective packaging in a box to make sure your purchase arrives in perfect condition.

Duty & Tax Most countries around the world are now charging VAT Tax on almost everything, so delivery times have slowed a little due to customs clearances, please check customs rules for your country, you might have to pay a bit extra.
