DAVID BOWIE Hunky Dory 1st press laminated cover Bobil Rasputin RCA SF 8244

Description

Up for auction is a very early pressing of Hunky Dory by David Bowie, released in 1971 on RCA Victor, cat no SF 8244, a UK pressing. This copy comes in a laminated cover, which was discontinued very soon after the initial pressing; the vinyl is a first pressing with matrix numbers APRS 5917 3T / APRS 5918 3T. Bobil & Rasputin are etched into the dead wax.

Condition: the vinyl is rather worn with some marks on both sides, though no serious feelable gouges. Clean labels. However, this is all about the cover, which is in pretty decent shape: some inevitable laminate creases and a little bubbling down the spin, but no writing, tears, splits or serious damage. Vinyl probably grades VG-, cover is VG. No lyric sheet present.

My grades: I use a 10-point scale: M-; EX; VG+; VG; VG-; G+; G; G-; F (fair); P (poor). I never use mint as a grade for used records. I am a long-time (25+ years!) record collector, and play-grade where possible. I don’t use stock photos: the item pictured here is the item for sale. My feedback from buyers indicates I normally undergrade in listings. Even so, if you have any problems, I'll give you your money back (less shipping costs), no questions asked. Buy with confidence! Any questions? Need any more photos or an audio sample? I'm only an email away.

Payment: UK- bank transfer (preferred) or Paypal. Rest Of World- Paypal. Email for other accepted methods of payment. Shipping: £4.50 (UK 1st class), £6 (UK recorded), £8.50 (Europe), £13 (ROW), £17 (Australia), £18 (USA). Please note: if final sale price is over £20, the item will only be sent signed for/tracked. In this case, please wait until I send a final invoice before sending payment. Thank you. Check my other auctions; combine orders & save on shipping!
