Heard this on the commercial for the movie Licorice Pizza and actually thought it was Elton John. David Bowie is great. Have to sample the rest of this album and others. Great tune
first great album?

CUT OFF ENDINGS

As soon as you buy a album or song, immediatly covert to a .WAV file. It is the best format to use
and keep because it is a lossless format meaning it will sound exacly like the .mp4 from Apple.
Cut off endings. Not right

By music sleuth
(Why are the songs cut off before the finish?) I restarted itunes and the songs are now ending correctly. Thank-you. I love this album very much, and it needed to be right. The rest of my comment stands, it belongs elsewhere, but where? I am replacing previous purchases, with digitals, with no ability to pass my library/history to the next gen. iTunes should have a way to scan the codes from the original album, cassette, or CD for proof, many times I have all 3! and am buying for a fourth time. I always want to help the Artist, but perhaps a bonus once in a while. I have a musician husband who is not being paid his royalties from an album, available all over, including itunes in the U.S. Japan, and Europe. Two members from the album are in the RRHF., perhaps more interest in the prevoiuse recordings, we will never know. I'm not being cheap, but from a purchaser and writer POV, we keep getting short-changed, just who is propheting? Musicians, purchasers? or fancy lawyers. Sorry, I will delete this in time. I just neede to say it.
Sound quality, not the album

Arguably one of Bowie's best, which makes it one of the best albums ever. But this sounds like I'm listening to it with my ears clogged. The bass is cranked up, which is fine, but every instrument sounds dead. The notes don't have any life behind the struck. I would track down a mastered version from around 1999 and stay away from this latest mastering. It's strange too, because the Ziggy Stardust iTunes master sounds amazingly good.
Stunning Beats, Then and Now

From the catchy lyrics of 'Changes' to the theatrical sounds of 'Life on Mars?', Hunky Dory immerses the listener into the vocals of David Bowie and the beats of what would later fully accompany him a year later as the Spiders from Mars. The sounds of Art Rock was stunning then, and can still easily be heard, four decades later.
Coming of Age

In the summer of '71 I was a kid trying to find out who I was. I wandered into a mixed head/tread shop & while seeking American flag bellbottom jeans saw a strange looking album. I bought it unheard. Once I returned home I began the metamorphisis...I have been a faithful fan through all the changes, through all the years. I own every Bowie album of importance, not just for me, but for the vision & change that he took us all through. He was a Renaissance Man truly. This album is a beginning to a wonderful journey. A must have...
Amazing album

The First Great Bowie Record
5
By steviegjdphd
This is the first of four Bowie records that exemplify his early rock period. "Changes" is one of his best songs. "Life on Mars" and "Oh! You Pretty Things" are two astounding songs that still hold up. "Kooks" is charming and "Andy Warhol" cool. The breadth of Bowie's musical and topical landscape are evident. After this record, Ziggy Stardust, Aladdin Sane and Diamond Dogs were all extensions of Hunky Dory.
