David Bowie’s Station to Station reaches its fiftieth anniversary with a carefully prepared edition that aims to present the album’s sound as faithfully as possible to its original source. Drawing from 192kHz restored masters of the Record Plant tapes, the music has been cut on a customised late-model Neumann VMS80 lathe with fully recapped electronics and no added processing.
This approach places the focus firmly on the clarity, intent, and tonal character of Bowie’s tenth studio album — a pivotal work that bridged the transition from the soul-leaning expansiveness of Young Americans to the cooler, more experimental territory he would soon explore. By maintaining a strictly minimal signal path, this edition highlights the precision and atmosphere that have made Station to Station endure as one of Bowie’s most transformative records.
