    It looks nice but that its. Poor quaity RTI pressings that FM have done over Reality and Heathen and they sound notably inferior to the DMM work done at Record Industry for Sony's Music On Vinyl subsidiary.

    Basically with Friday Music, if it says KPG is involved then its worth a punt (and pray its pressed proper). If its "mastered by Joe Reagoso" like this and others.... AVOID and buy, oh, any other pressings/CD's.

      This might be one of the best vinyl albums I own. I usually call Reality the most average album by David Bowie but this pressing is fantastic. As of writing this, I just finished Never Get Old. Some highlights include a noticeable Sound difference from CD/Streaming, an absolutely gorgeous vinyl, and a tri-fold jacket, (one issue though is the size of the jacket, it’s really big). This pressing does so much justice for Reality.

        Phenomenal pressing! Packaging is great, trifold cover. A top album of Bowie, the songs shine on this pressing, no skips or distortion on my copy. One of the best sounding pressings I own. The blue/white splatter is stunning!!! The album is one of his best and the pressing does it justice!
