DAVID BOWIE

"Ziggy Stardust Press Kit"

(Ryko 0134/LSD-4702) 

Very rare and elaborate promo LP/CD/press kit combo issued to promote the Ryko clear vinyl reissue. 

The package comes in a gatefold LP sleeve which contains a vinyl copy of the album, a CD and a press kit which includes two official Ryko sheets of information including details of the “trade in your RCA CD“ which Ryko were doing at the time, plus a photocopy of a Rolling Stone article from August 1987, and a promotional 8" x 10" glossy photograph containing two images of Bowie as Ziggy Stardust.

The press kit's inner gatefold sleeve also features information about the Ziggy Stardust re-release program. The inside of the gatefold has an ADVANCE PIC DISC CD version of the "Ziggy Stardust" Ryko CD with the 5 bonus tracks and over-printed FOR PROMOTION ONLY. Also included is a black vinyl copy of the album which Ryko made to look like the original RCA release. The album itself is a replica of the original album but cleverly mastered to include hiss and clicks and background noise to simulate a scratchy 70's copy!

For some reason when they were compiling these packs the CD screen printing had a tendency to stick to the inside of the wallet and left an imprint on the clear pocket when removed. This is also the case with this copy. Also the pocket has a 2 inch tear from removal. Other than that flaw, this package is Near Mint all around.
