Description
I'm an avid record collector and have been collecting classic 1960s and 70s albums for many years. During that time I have added duplicate copies of quite a few of my favourite albums to my collection. I've always sought out the very best copies available as I'm very particular about the records that I own. The time has come for me to pass on a few of these choice albums in order to free up some of the limited space available in my record cabinet.
On offer here is a superb copy of David Bowie's seventh studio album titled "Pinups", Catalogue Number RCA RS 1003. It's a 1973 UK stereo 1st issue on the RCA record label, with a matt-finish sleeve. It comes complete with the original picture/credits insert. [The etched record matrix numbers are RS-1003-A-1T and RS-1003-B-1?(maybe a 4)T].
The sleeve is in EX condition with only the lightest signs of wear and no creases of any significance. The front and back covers are unmarked apart from a touch of very light foxing. The spine is square and solid with perfect text. Please study the supersize photos carefully as they form an important part of the item description.
The top quality mid-weight record is in MINT- condition with just a few faint sleeve-removal type surface marks evident when angled against bright light. The glossy orange RCA labels are unmarked with no obvious spindle traces (although the record has received a moderate number of careful plays). There is barely any wear to the spindle hole. Both sides play MINT- throughout with no discernible deterioration in sound quality and a minimum of unwanted noise.
The picture/credits insert is in unmarked excellent condition.
The plain white inner sleeve is in excellent condition with no splits or tears.
Overall this is a superb example of David Bowie's seventh studio album which will make a fine addition to any record collection.
GRADINGS
The records that I offer for sale have been critically play-graded, at loud volume, on a Pioneer PL-L1000 tangential tracking turntable fitted with a Nagaoka MP-300 cartridge. I will only sell records that play to a high standard. My grading is strict and in accordance with the following descriptions:
· MINT- Record is superb, almost like new, with just a few sleeve removal type surface marks and no deterioration in sound quality. Sleeve is near perfect in all respects.
· EX Record is a top quality example with just a few very light surface marks and virtually no discernible deterioration in sound quality. Sleeve has slight wear and/or creasing.
· VG Record has some visual surface marks, but still plays to a high standard without any major deterioration in sound quality – just a few clicks or light surface sound in places. Sleeve has normal wear and tear without any major defects but is still very presentable.
All records can be expected to rotate sufficiently evenly on the turntable for there to be no effect whatsoever on the audio playback. Minor warps or dishing will not be mentioned as virtually all records display these features to some degree and no record is perfectly flat.
Vinyl is not a perfect medium and even the finest quality pressings will play with a degree of residual surface sound, however minimal. Where, in my opinion, unwanted noise interferes with the listening enjoyment of the record, it will be mentioned in the item description. It is unrealistic to expect a 40+ year old record to play with a background of complete silence. Please bear this in mind when bidding.
