David Bowie: Disc 1 Station to Station
The special edition reissue of David Bowie’s 1976 album Station to Station sort of comes out of the blue. Are we celebrating the 34th anniversary of Bowie’s highest-charting album in the US? The one with the fewest number of songs on it? The album he himself remembers little about due to having recorded it at the height of his drug consumption? Whatever the reason, the remastered release is a welcome decision, as the record is a revelation for those revisiting it, maybe for the first time in years, or for those hearing the album for the first time ever.
