David Bowie Young Americans DTS
Editor's note: This DTS disc was rumored last year...its finally out in the UK only...
The zenith of David Bowie's flat-pack soul period, 1975's 'Young Americans' is an incredible and frequently overlooked record. No other Bowie album had spelled out its market so cleanly and crisply in its title. This was an album to be bought at a time when young Americans, after years of mobilising, now had a little disposable income and were ready to party. It was all, supposedly, about "emotional drive." But the album came to represent so much more than that. It is an indirect product of many factors; soul music; politics, both personal and public; sex, drugs and dancing; of downtown New York and uptown Philadelphia.
This special edition CD/DVD includes the original album with 3 bonus tracks one of which is previously unreleased, a brand new 5.1 mix by legendary producer Tony Visconti and 2 performances from The Dick Cavett TV show along with footage of Bowie being interviewed by Dick.
It's a Stateside release on June 5th, 2007. The package is a CD + DVD with a 5.1 DTS surround mix. It's late for the states and it's not DVD-Audio of SACD (as other Bowie albums have been as of late).
But dammit, it's surround and we still care.

It's not a DVD-A. DVD-V, with DTS 5.1
