The story is that the Metal Box sound, esp. the vinyl, is way bigger and harsher and more bassy than Second Edition, which was cleaned up for the always more conservative American market, but I'm gonna have to get the vinyl & see for myself. > my turntable's not set up, so i guess i know what's in store after i'm > done the bowie jag (only on "hunky dory"...many weeks to go.)

Isn't the UK Second Edition's audio is supposedly similarly inadequate though? "I'm not tempted to write a song about George W. Bush. I couldn't figure out what sort of song I would write.
