Bowie's or Iggy's?

that's the one Iggy remastered in 1997

thought so, thanks

the ''millenium'' thing threw me

Well, I just grabbed a copy of the old Columbia CD on ePay...now I can play the thing again! I really can't stand Iggy's mix.

How'd u no it was the columbia one? i bought it on ebay as well (documented above i think) but it said it was the columbia and i even asked the seller, but they just sentt out the 97 one, so i sent ut back, which cost me for posting, then cos i took up there space on ebay by buyin the item the charged me a month later for the ebay charge!! bastards

HJW I think: the difference...the original 73 one bowie mix has no RAW POWER written on the front...it's only the photo of Iggy and a thin sign from CBS in the left corner above. and it should also be written released where etc. on the back of coarse..but you send it back..hmm..pity you didn't photograph or compare it with visually with the one you got

Nah it said "produced by iggy pop" that was a red flag lol, but um, yeh it doesnt stop them from stating online that its the 73/columbia one u'no, and only did i have the 97 already that i sent it back

so gotta wait for MG.... or pm him
It's Better to buy the LP HJW; less cheating with that.

The Columbia Cd version's cover if you look well is a bit brighter(his skin is alittle oranger), iggy's mix cover is alittle darker(his skin is alittle darker red)

hope it helps alittle

cheers

im gunna buy it some day, and the weirdness Lp, well probly lps of them all of them act, but esp those two cos of the mix on raw power nad the extra tracks on weirdness

I have the two mixes, actualy i have like 3 for some reason, two versions of the bowie version which is weird, the tracks are longer on one version (or shorter on the other depending on ur outlook, lol) but yeh i would just like to have the CD, dunno, completest sort of thing, but um oh yeh does anyone know if the version purporting to be the bowie version on itunes is actually it, cos it could solve all the problems, lol

Well, first thing I did was ASK the seller which it was. If there is no explanation in the auction ad, and the seller doesn't respond, then don't guess. You are likely to be wrong. Caveat Emptor!!

the auction ad claimed it was the columbia one, it even said ''remaster of the 1973 punk masterpiece" or something and ''original columbia 1989" i think its 89, cant remember but it advtertised the colmubia one, and when i emailed them they told me it was the one advertised so naturally i bought it, they just sent out the 1997 one - haud verum in exigo (thats as close as i could get to ''the seller lied'' in latin lol)

That blows, bro! Originally, after I purchased the remaster I immediately traded away my old version...and have regretted it ever since! I don't consider myself a hardcore audiophile, but I listen on decent equipment (Pioneer SX-1050 receiver and Polk Monitor 10A speakers). That Iggy Remaster has so much distortion that it makes it unlistenable (for me) at even moderate volume.

I can get the Bowie version to sound just as potent by just playing with the dials a bit on my amplifier!

Why would Iggy do this kinda thing?! OK, this topic has been talked to death and this post is my last on the subject for a while. And I don't have the CD yet! I am waiting for it and will let you know if I was ripped off too!

OK, I just received the CD and it is exctly what I hoped it would be! I can now listen to the album again. If anyone has the power, PLEASE keep Iggy away from the mixing boards!!!

Hi!
There´s not so many pressings with the original mix on CD.
