Hi, you may have dealt with me under the username the--record--experience. I have just gone into partnership with a friend on the beautiful Isle of Wight so I am having to obviously start from scratch with a new username, as this is a new business - please check out my feedback from the--record--experience as it has over 530 feedbacks with many people re-purchasing from me, and much respect for superb grading and quality items. I will be doing all the grading and using the same packaging as before. Please watch out as there are some amazing records going up for sale most days from now on.

**DAVID BOWIE**

**THE MAN WHO SOLD THE WORLD(DRESS COVER)**

**ORIGINAL 1ST PRESSING 1971 STEREO MERCURY UK LP 6338 041 **

This is a nice presentable example of this legendary Lp. It is 100% the real deal NOT a Bootleg.(see below)

Matrix numbers....6338041 1Y//1   / 6338041 2Y//1 (CORRECTLY STAMPED IN)

The LP Cover....Is still very presentable (see all 8 pictures) There is edge and spine wear .The cover has also got damp at one stage leaving a stain (nothing to serious) to the back.This is an original textured cover graded  Good+++ condition in record collecting terms.I am NOT of the opinion that everything gets the VG or VG+ grade like most seller now.Strict grading!!!!!!!!!!!!!The heavy record has NOT broken though the cover there is 2 small 1cm clean tears.This is not the best dress cover i have dealt with but is is still presentable and I have seen allot worse. Thanks John and take a look at the pictures.

The Record....plays very well with powerful sound. There is surface were and a few light marks and a mark that causes some clicks on the Man who sold the world but nothing really to spoil the track.The LP still has its natural gloss and will grade a strict and still nice Very Good Minus . Most would have graded hinger . The play grade is at least Excellent Minus. A very powerful record with its original mix. I have an original Dress cover in my own collection and the sound of this pressing has always been the best way the here Bowies masterpiece.Please note there are NO Jumps or repeats Etc. I have played the Lp 5 times now and I am very happy to sell this.

The labels.....Are both very clean showing spindle wear only.NO tears Etc th top examples. (See pictures 7-8).

We use the UK grading system E.G. /VG / EX / MINT. We also use + and - if there are slight differences between the grades.

**All Records are sent out in plastic covers with the record placed out of the front cover to prevent the cover from getting knifed. All records are sent out in strong mailers with added protection to make sure that they reach you in the condition that they leave here in.**

**For each record or item sent out I will fill out a separate Proof of Postage slip that is date stamped with the address of the destination of the parcel. Insurance will cost extra and is highly recommended, I will not be responsible if this is not taken for items lost in the post. I also will not send to France unless registered postage is taken as it seems the postal system in France is very poor will parcels getting stolen. This is not just me that has had this problem but my friends that also that sell.

**Please note if you cannot make payment within 20 days of auction ending please do not bid as the number of non paying bidders seems to be on the increase. If   there are any problems with sending payment i.e- you on holiday please let me know. I will provide my best service at all times. If payment has not reached me within the 20 days of the auction ending the item will be relisted or sold elsewhere. I am not into giving negative feedback as I feel that this is a childish feature and not my style. It seems some people on this auction site are Trigger Happy with this feature. Check out my feedback from the--record--experience.**

** Please read this- If you have been buying from some dealers on ebay who continue to sell records that have been altered or have stickers placed over writing or to hide damage or in a much lesser condition than stated. I would rather sell the record in it's original state rather than cut out pieces of paper to hide the truth. I am also against skimming, steaming and other dirty tricks. I will playgrade all records and do all grading under a 100 watt light bulb which shows the truth. I will be continuously be placing quality items on ebay from now on as I want to build up my customer base. The only things that I want to come back are customers not records. Thank You.**

All records are visually and playgraded on sound equipment.
