Blackstar leaked on Internet on December 31st.

No links to download Blackstar will be accepted on Bowie Station.

There exist both MP3 (320 kbps) and flac versions on the net.

The quality of the rips circulating are BAD!

The leak is not stereo, but with the left channel on both right and left channel.
It is a vinyl rip, probably done on a cheap USB turntable.
There is a lot of vinyl noise on the rip.

Got my Pre-Order CD and Vinyl Yesterday (Tuesday). That´s two working days early. Wednesday is holiday here in Sweden.
Haven´t listened to them yet. Got shocked when I saw them on my entrance doorhandle and have not decided which wine to go with the first listen on Friday.

Mine's on the courier now depends on whether they wrote on box deliver 8th courier lives same street as me so may see tonight :) if not probably 8.00 in morning :(
Crazy but only record shop in town is part of a department store run all the small guys out of town probably won't have it for 2-3 weeks if not longer

and they wonder why we buy online from Major cities or overseas

One and a half listens in.  Sounding bloody good.  That rock played by jazz musicians bit works really well (thank God it's that way round!).  Still not convinced by Sue, and I Can't Give Everything Away seemed a bit lightweight on first listen, but definitely a good feel to it.

Voice sounds incredibly good.  Seem to remember someone on MWP saying he sounded a bit croaky on The Next Day, definitely not the case here!

All those four star reviews around the place sound about right to me.

:D



Don't blame me, I didn't do it!

There is a British black metal band called Lazarus Blackstar:

In one of their videos they use blindfolds:

Maybe Bowie has got some inspiration from Bradford?

I found last night that Amazon had actually delivered it on Friday. It was inside another parcel that they sent me which contained the collectors edition of the Next Day and another  surge protector tower I need for the amount of electrical items I have hooked up to my desk. It's no fun getting old!  :)

Wondering if anyone else has noticed a problem with their vinyl, specifically the plastic inner: ever since buying it on release, I've been meaning to decant it into a poly-lined inner to avoid scratches, but never got around to it. Anyway, just pulled it out to play it for about the 4th time, and noticed it has become pretty much covered on both sides with patches of a greasy residue. Now, I know I've been VERY careful handling it, so the only thing it can be is some reaction or deposit from the plastic inner...just washed the LP, and it's fine. Only ever seen anything like this before with really old albums in a certain type of poly inner.

Just sayin'...check yours out?

Maybe but TIS appears to be registered in the UK. And I am definitely registered in the UK... :-)
