    Is it even worth it on vinyl? I mean I do like NLMD but sadly it is a victim of late 80s fix to cd length albums, because despite what the description says these are (In some cases) not the full versions of the songs, how they could add an extra song and a couple more minutes than other pressings is beyond me but sound quality might be affected

      Many of the tracks are less edited in length than the UK vinyl version.

        This is the one to get currently, because it has Girls Japanese version and the deleted track Too Dizzy. By deleting the track, Bowie has given it more power than it would ever have had, Obi.
