YOUNG AMERICANS SPECIAL RELEASE
1st March 2005

You may of read quite a while back that DAVID BOWIE's 'Young Americans' is all set get the 30th Anniversary treatment with a new 2CD release in 5.1 Surround Sound, complete with bonus tracks and a surprise in store.

Producer TONY VISCONTI has elaborated on this special release on his website @ tonyvisconti.com...

"I've just finished mixing the amazing Young Americans in 5.1 Surround Sound, for its 30th anniversary. The release will be in a few months. There will be bonus tracks and a surprise."

"All the tracks have been mixed from the master tapes to 96khz high definition digital audio. That translates to 'freakin' scary' quality. Mr. Bowie is front and center, but the backing is now spread 360º with Mr. Vandross hovering over your left shoulder for most of the album. John Lennon's six string acoustic is almost entirely in the right rear speaker on 'Across The Universe' and you just might hear a comment from him when the song is over. What really brought it home to me was how great David's vocals were, and a lot of them were live takes with him standing in the same room as the band at Sigma Studios in Philadelphia."
