Station to Station (Special Edition)

The SPECIAL EDITION features a new transfer of Station to Station from the original stereo analog master, plus two live discs of the unreleased March 23rd, 1976 concert at New York's Nassau Coliseum. The reissue also restores the album's original artwork and includes a sixteen page booklet with liner notes written by Cameron Crowe. Additionally, you'll get a digital download of an unedited alternate mix of the Aladdin Sane fan favorite "Panic in Detroit" that clocks in at over thirteen minutes (nearly triple the length of the original version), plus three post cards!



'Taking the detached plastic soul of Young Americans to an elegant, robotic extreme, Station to Station is a transitional album that creates its own distinctive style. Abandoning any pretense of being a soulman, yet keeping rhythmic elements of soul, David Bowie positions himself as a cold, clinical crooner and explores a variety of styles. Everything from epic ballads and disco to synthesized avant pop is present on Station to Station, but what ties it together is Bowie's cocaine-induced paranoia and detached musical persona. At its heart, Station to Station is an avant-garde art-rock album, most explicitly on "TVC 15" and the epic sprawl of the title track, but also on the cool crooning of "Wild Is the Wind" and "Word on a Wing," as well as the disco stylings of "Golden Years." It's not an easy album to warm to, but its epic structure and clinical sound were an impressive, individualistic achievement, as well as a style that would prove enormously influential on post-punk.' - All Music Guide
