Description

A rare and exceptionally nice UK first pressing of David Bowie’s 1971 masterpiece The Man Who Sold The World with the legendary “dress cover”, on Mercury Records.  This authentic first pressing has stamped matrix numbers and textured cover, with the uncropped photograph of Bowie wearing his “man’s dress” (designed by Mr. Fish of London.)  This is the more scarce variant with Tony Visconti spelled correctly on both disc labels (a slightly earlier variant misspelled Visconti’s first name ‘Tonny’.

The cover is in Near Mint condition with only some very light wear.  The disc is in Mint/Near Mint condition.  The vinyl shows no sign of play or wear at all.  The Side 1 label has some spindle marks, as has  Side 2 label.  The matrix numbers are 6338041 1Y//1^420 “1 1 4” and 6338041 2Y//1^420 “1 1 1”.
