I agree with this for all my fav artists. With Bowie, the long derided 80s RCA discs have become THE versions to own. Nearer to source, let f*cking around done to it.

This is off topic, but Dysan's comment made me think of this. Jeff Rougvie has a blog on how they signed Bowie to Rykodisc and created the Sound & Vision box set. It is fascinating reading. It talks about how they constructed the box set and went through Bowie's archive.... with some distressing information on how the tapes were preserved (or not). The blog has the newest post at the top, so scroll to the bottom to start reading in order.
