Description
AND NOW FOR A SUPER RARE ONE WHICH I CAN VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND INDEED. ANOTHER FINE VINTAGE RECORD FROM MY PERSONAL ARCHIVE. OF COURSE ALL PHOTOS ARE OF THE ACTUAL ITEM FOR AUCTION. THIS IS PERHAPS ONE OF THE RAREST ALBUMS IN MY WHOLE VAST COLLECTION WHICH I HAVE BUILT UP SINCE 1979. THE VERY FIRST & SUPER RARE 1969 DAVID BOWIE ALBUM ON PHILIPS INCLUDING OF COURSE SUCH GEMS AS SPACE ODDITY, WILD EYED BOY FROM FREECLOUD, MEMORY OF A FREE FESTIVAL, ETC ETC. A FANTASTIC ALBUM WHICH I BOUGHT AT A RECORD FAIR IN 1984. EVEN 26 YEARS AGO THIS LP WAS DIFFICULT TO FIND & EXPENSIVE. SIDE ONE IS IN EX CONDITION. SIDE 2 HAS A SCRATCH (2cm or less) OVER PART OF THE FIRST TRACK (JANINE). THIS DOES CAUSE SOME LOW LEVEL TICKS BUT MOSTLY THESE ARE INAUDIBLE BECAUSE IT IS ONE OF THE LOUDER TRACKS. ABSOLUTELY NO SKIPS OR JUMPS BUT THERE IS A TICK THROUGH PART OF JANINE. SIDE 2 I WOULD THEREFORE SAY IS BETWEEN VG AND VG+, MOST WOULD SAY VG+. IT PLAYS VERY WELL WITH CRYSTAL CLEAR SOUND. RECORD SBL.7912 with matrices 852146 1Y//2 * 1 1 3 and 852146 2Y//2 1 1 1. THE PSYCH FIRST PRESS COVER OF COURSE IS FANTASTIC AND VERY DIFFERENT FROM THE LATER 1972 REISSUE. IT IS IN EX OR VERY CLOSE TO EX CONDITION AS THE PHOTOS WILL SHOW. SOME BUMPING & WEAR TO THE CORNERS BUT OTHERWISE FINE. AS USUAL I HAVE TAKEN MANY PHOTOS SO YOU CAN JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF. THIS IS A CLASSIC ALBUM & NOW INCREDIBLY HARD TO LOCATE AS A GENUINE VERY FIRST 1969 UK PRESSING. I DO NOT PROFIT ON POSTAGE BUT WILL SEND WORLDWIDE IN PLASTIC SLEEVES, PROTECTIVE CARDBOARD MAILERS & CARDBOARD STIFFENERS - £5.99 TO UK SPECIAL DELIVERY) £9.49 TO EUROPE SIGNED FOR & INSURED BY TRACKED AIR MAIL AND £11.99 TO THE REST OF THE WORLD SIGNED FOR & INSURED AIR MAIL. A BIT MORE EXPENSIVE TO SEND THIS ONE BUT IT WILL BE INSURED. I WILL BE VERY SAD TO SEE IT GO !!. I WILL AS ALWAYS ENSURE IT IS SENT BOMB PROOF INSIDE A PLASTIC JACKET WITHIN A HEAVY DUTY CARD BOARD MAILER WITH STIFFENERS EITHER SIDE. RECORDS POSTED WITHIN 24 HOURS OF PAYPAL PAYMENT.
