Description

Selected titles from the private collection of a music business veteran are now being made available for the first time. Titles offered by this Seller are one-owner and came directly from the pressing plant, record company warehouse, other label reps or record store unless otherwise noted. 

Grading is based on visual inspection.

Album ships in a 2 MIL poly cover sleeve and a 3 MIL soft poly inner sleeve.

I package records outside the cover to avoid seam splits.

  • "Hey Man!" The Thin White Duke has left the building but what a legacy! RIP Ziggy et al.
  • This Promotional Copy is on thick vinyl and does not appear to have ever been played. The playing surfaces are clean.
  • The single piece board gatefold cover has tight seams, a stiff spine and shows no wear.
  • The Promo stamp is hard to see. It is on the back cover over his right shoe. The stamp has partially rubbed off (see photo).
  • The inner sleeve has credits and photos on both sides. I have included a soft poly inner sleeve.
  • Seller got this from RCA upon initial release in 1979. It has been in storage for 37 years.
