The Young Americans" was released in 1975 as David Bowie's eighth original album. Recorded at Sigma Sound Studios, the home of Philadelphia soul, the album was a soul-tinged work that also featured a collaboration with John Lennon, and was an ambitious work that showed a new direction completely different from that of the Glam era. The album charted at No. 2 in the U.K. and No. 9 in the U.S. The second single, "Fame" with John Lennon, became Bowie's first number one single in the US. Since its first CD release in the 1980s, the album has been remastered numerous times, including a remastering by RYKO Discs in 1991 and a special edition by the EMI label in 2007. This audiophile collection contains rare and valuable recordings from the original masters, which are direct transfers from the original masters, unlike the many CD remasters that have been released. Since the first CD release, all the recordings have been digitized by remastering, and there have been many complaints among enthusiasts about the difference in sound, and the quality has been controversial. This CD contains the original master recordings, which are direct transfers and have not undergone any such re-mastering process. The original sound is recorded as it is, without any emphasis on bass or treble. The original sound is flat and without bass or treble enhancement, and when compared to the original master, you can hear how wonderful the original sound is. In addition, the second half of the CD contains another mix from an 8-track tape that was circulated in the 70's and is now available on CD for the first time. The difference between the two mixes is obvious, as the vocals are emphasized and the separation between the left and right sides is different. The DVD contains the two rare mixes from the CD, plus the hard-to-find and now at a premium price, the RYKO Discs Limited Gold CD, and the multi-channel surround mixes. The audio album is designed to allow the user to compare and contrast the different mixes by switching between them using the audio options. The DVD video section includes promos and TV footage of the songs on the album. This is the latest collector's edition of S&V's most popular album, featuring both sound and video!
