Description

David Bowie 1976 튌춗瘡

 

RCA Deleted Colour LP Sleeve From Station To Station APL1-1327

CONDITION: EXCELLENT + 

 

Here is the original full colour LP sleeve designed and printed by RCA intended for the Station To Station LP, with full colour picture taken from The Man Who Fell To Earth movie, but then suddenly deleted by RCA and totally scraped before the official issue was made - which as we now know was finally done by RCA with only B&W artwork, perhaps to compliment the very B&W Thin White Duke.

 

Back in 1976 only a few of these rare colour LP sleeves were saved and exist now only in a handful of prized private collections around the world. Due to copyright issues these few proof sleeves should have all been destroyed and so the survivors are rated far more scare than any other early Bowie LP (TMWSTW drag sleeve for example was produced in thousands). 

As a result of RCA's last minute change of mind this sleeve is now considered the holy grail and a true gem amongst serious db collectors, but the vinyl record itself is actually identical to the later official RCA release and so therefore not at all important!

 This sleeve is the original RCA product with all correct index codes, first printed in the USA and almost certainly a once in a lifetime chance to own one of the only remaining unreleased 1976 Station To Station sleeve's in immaculate condition!!!!

Look at the last identical "Station" sleeve to pass through eBay almost a year ago in December 2005, it achieved $USD 2425,00 Click to view:
