I have multiple LP and CD versions of this. I can say that the Mercury LP version, that only came with the "cartoon" cover, sounded like crap. And yet, it is still probably my favorite Bowie album (Ziggy second fave) and I still listen to that 40+ y.o. LP. I recommend the 1990 Rykodisc CD, least that's the CD (rips) I listen to most these days, I don't find the subsequent Virgin one I have to be as full-sounding.
IOW, it *is* a grungy heavy album, unlike anything else he recorded under his own name...enjoy! I wonder if this happened around the time he was mixing Raw Power (for The Stooges)...somebody here will know.
