DETAILS:  This is the limited edition 3-sided LP issued by Ryko Analogue in 1990.  Digitally remastered, it features 4 rare bonus tracks (the previously unreleased "Lighting Frightening" and "Holy Holy Holy", as well as both sides of the 1971 "Arnold Corns" single, "Moonage Daydream" and "Hang On to Yourself," which are early versions of songs that would later appear on Ziggy Stardust) and is pressed on clear/greenish wax. Housed in a deluxe gatefold sleeve with the OBI strip still intact. Nice!

"Even though it contained no hits, The Man Who Sold the World, for most intents and purposes, is the beginning of David Bowie's classic period. Working with guitarist Mick Ronson and producer Tony Visconti for the first time, Bowie developed a tight, twisted heavy guitar rock that appears simple on the surface but sounds more gnarled upon each listen. The mix is off-center, with the fuzz-bass dominating the compressed, razor-thin guitars and Bowie's strangled, affected voice. The sound of The Man Who Sold the World is odd, but the music is bizarre itself, with Bowie's bizarre, paranoid futuristic tales melded to Ronson's riffing and the band's relentless attack. Musically, there isn't much innovation on The Man Who Sold the World — it is almost all hard blues-rock or psychedelic folk-rock — but there's an unsettling edge to the band's performance, which makes the record one of Bowie's best albums." -Stephen Thomas Erlewine, allmusic guide
