Notes
From 1967 to 2016, the English musician David Bowie released twenty-six studio albums.
Low is the eleventh studio album by the British rock musician David Bowie and was released on January 14, 1977 on the RCA Records label.
The sound and production of this album were significantly influenced by Krautrock, the group Kraftwerk and especially Brian Eno, with whom Bowie also recorded the two follow-up albums "Heroes" and Lodger, which form his so-called "Berlin Trilogy" with Low from 1977 to 1979.
The UK first edition (David Bowie - Low) has a cover that uses a modified version of the US cover - the catalogue present in the top RH front corner of the US cover has been masked over (artifacts are visible); the fan club insert of the UK edition uses a different font where catalogue numbers differ from the US numbers. The UK spine copies the US spine and adds additional information. The rear sticker (attached to the UK cover) has the titles Left Margined, whereas the remainder of the album artwork uses a Centred style (as seen on the front cover, insert and US sticker).

referencing Low (LP, Album, Reissue, Stereo) AYL1-3856
My copy has a Best Buy Series sticker on the shrink- People who claim “too much bass” are comparing it to older versions. Bass reduction in the mastering stage was the norm in the 60s and 70s to prevent needle jumping on cruddy turntables and returns of “defective” records. Personally, I’m glad to have this particular record restored to its warm blanket and bass appropriate glory.
- Bought brand new sealed for about 30 CAD. Almost dead silent. Record is perfectly flat. Sound is pretty clear and punchy. The jacket looks pretty good too. Impressive pressing for the price. If you're a fan of this special album, it's a no brainer, jump on it. 4.85 / 5

I have a first pressing with runouts consistent with variant 6, but the inner sleeve is printed R.S. 5-76.
Anyone have info on this? I can't find it mentioned anywhere.referencing Low (LP, Album, Reissue) NL 83856
This is a stellar German pressing. For the last dozen years, I have been enthralled by my original 1977 Japanese pressing of Low – RCA RVP 6154 – but this pressing, might even trump that gem. When it comes to vinyl pressings, the Japanese and Germans have the kind of devoted obsessiveness, that can bring about the extroadinary.referencing Low (LP, Album, Stereo) CPL1-2030
Anyone wanna sell me an original inner sleeve? 10 words- Edited 5 months ago

Hi, I have the opportunity to buy this release - German 1981 - oraz the first press from Italy (https://www.discogs.com/release/1496361-David-Bowie-Low). Which one would be better in you opinion? Will you share your impressions, is the pressing okay? referencing Low (LP, Album, Stereo) PL 12030
Got a first press with fan club insert, but the insert doesn’t have the back catalogue LP pics… Anyone else’s missing this?
