I have the 2-disc remasters for Ziggy Stardust, Aladdin Sane, Diamond Dogs and Young Americans (CD/DVD-A combo). Bowie is one of my all time favorite artists and the next five albums (Station To Station, the Berlin Trilogy and Scary Monsters) represent my absolute favorite period of Bowie's career and never get old to me. Any idea if a deluxe Station To Station is coming soon?

The closest things to rumors would be from that Target stores CD compilation "Strangers When We Meet" that had tracks from several different albums, and listed where they were from.

Amongst others, it had a track apiece from Low, and Hunky Dory, and a live track from Station to Station, and listed them as being from the the "Low Special Collector's Edition", "Hunky Dory Special Collector's Edition" and "Live Nassau '76".

Personally, if the "Live Nassau '76" concert isn't longer than a single disc, I don't see any reason why it couldn't just be released as the 2nd disc of a remastered Station to Station disc, since I can't imagine anybody liking the concert, but not wanting the album, and vice versa.

I'm anxiously awaiting other special editions as well.

I know Ziggy (SACD) and Young Americans have been remixed in 5.1. Do you know if any others have been mixed in surround?

Thanks

I know Live and Stage were released as DVD-A's.

Other than the ones that have been mentioned, just a few newer ones. Heathen and Reality were both released on SACD (and possibly dualdisc) with 5.1 mixes.

There are also a few high-res releases which are stereo-only - Scary Monsters and Let's Dance.

Heathen was released as a SACD (not dual-format, but only SACD). 5 of the songs on it were longer than they are on the CD, and it also had a B-Side included which also runs longer than when it later appeared on some singles.

Reality was released as a DualDisc with no changes to the mixes or running times other than changes inherit to a 5.1 mix.

well, it's not quite Station To Station or The Berlin albums, but Sony recently released "Box", which has LP replica 2-disc versions of Outside, Earthling, Hours, Heathen and Reality. The Outside, Earthling and Hours were previously released as limited edition imports, but the Heathen and Reality disc two's are vastly expanded from the second disc that came with the "special editions" when they came out.

Thanks all.

I have that box, and while I love the packaging, the albums aren't remastered or DVD-audio or anything, so if you're looking for DVD-A, SACD, 5.1 or anything like that, don't bother.

If you're looking for fun/cool packaging and tons of bonus material, then it's great! (although there are mistakes and typos about more than a couple of the tracks...)

It's funny that I don't have any Bowie in my collection. I should get myself these deluxe remasters soon.

well, said albums don't really need remastering yet IMO. Reality and Heathen are barely half a decade old. I want to listen to music that I can rip to my computer and iPod, so standard CD is the way for me, I don't have a SACD player so it's null for me since I'm usually on the go when I play music.

Oh, as far as CDs sound, I definitely agree that there's nothing needed to be done on Outside on through Reality.

I wouldn't mind getting Outside, Earthling or Hours in 5.1 though, just cause I feel all three could really have some fun immersive surround and such.

P.S. If you don't already have a copy of Earthling, be warned that if you buy the box set or any of the separately-released 2-Disc versions of it, the track Dead Man Walking has an error where an extra 20 seconds of silence ended up on the end of it, making it a very long wait for Telling Lies to start...
