Just listening to the black label RCA international 80s pressing and I do not notice any inbalance. Sounds perfectly fine and punchy. As Filter Stoke mentioned the green label early 80s pressings are of good quality - albeit they do not usually have gatefold sleeves. I have a few Bowie and Lou greens and they have no probs. At the time when I was getting into Bowie in the early 80s they were really cheap (£2.99) but the value now fluctuates depending on the release. The black labels RCA international (normally have a barcode - the green labels don't) seem fine too. As for the dynoflex presses some of them are really so thin you could almost bend them in half - but the ones I have sound great. My UK RCA victor Bowies are a hit or miss really - but the hits are awesome.
