The vinyl version is reissued in a close repro. of the 1973 gate-fold cover edition with the lyrics on the inner record sleeve, plus it has a reproduction of the David Bowie fan club leaflet. It also has the original '73 issue label with the places the songs were written printed under the titles, this was missing from some later vinyl reissues. It's more than l nostalgia trip for some of us, more like time travel. The vinyl is pressed from the 2013 remaster and sounds great to my ears, but I haven't compared it to the 1973 issue and my deck and amp are goodish but not audiophile quality. Wish they were! . Of course the music is as enchanting and powerful as it was 43 years ago! Amazing man. Great to have this again on vinyl,
