Description
Original, very early 1970s David Bowie LP entitled, "Hunky Dory." This is on the RCA Victor label LSP-4623 (original, first pressing with orange 'dynaflex' labels). What makes this even better is it comes with the very rare, original, promotional-only press kit!! Vinyl is VG+ or better and plays with clean strong sound, inner sleeve has no seam splits NM, Cover is VG (has a promo ) clipped corner and some light edge wear but no seam splits. What's so rare is the complete press kit that came with this pressing.The press kit is complete and in great shape also!! It contains the following: Two black & white glossy promotional/publicity photos of David Bowie (one measuring 8" x 10" and one that is very slightly factory-cropped and measures 7.25" x 10". Both photos have the same images that were used on the front and back cover of the LP. A four-page bio letter from RCA about David Bowie and another four-page letter detailing the LP and the story behind each of its songs (much of the information for which came directly from Bowie himself). Both of these letters are printed on watermarked, official paper with the same front-cover image of Bowie!! All of these are housed in a very nice envelope/folder that has the same "sepia" photo artwork that was used on the back cover of the LP (of Bowie dressed "in drag")!! This press kit was issued in very small quantities by the label itself to industry executives at the time. David Bowie had just recently been signed to RCA and "Hunky Dory" was his first LP release for the label. Although he'd had a modest hit with "Space Oddity" a couple years earlier, he was still a relatively unknown artist in the United States. This press kit was obviously intended to hype what the label viewed as his potential. He would, of course, become an international superstar and rock icon in just a couple short years!! A very cool and historical piece indeed!!
