Description

Completely original 1st press 
David Bowie's 2nd Album on Phillips -an historically significant piece of work
Most importantly the vinyl is only plays with some crackle & has a couple of marks on Side 1 one of which ensures a few "pops" at the beginning of track 1. The surface has hairline scuffs etc but apart from track 1 the album plays surprisingly well particularly through the louder tracks and without distortion  ...has 1st press matrices  852146 1Y-2* 11 852146 2Y-2 11
Here are just a few of the personnel who went on to greater things....

  • Arranged By – David Bowie, Tony Visconti 
  • Bass – Herbie Flowers, Tony Visconti
  • Cello – Paul Buckmaster
  • Design Concept – David Bowie
  • Mellotron, Harpsichord [Electric] – Rick Wakeman
  • Producer – Tony Visconti 

The cover is totally intact without tears or rips but shows signs of wear around the edges & spine with a 2cm split at the top where the record enters. The inside and back cover picture and lyrics are damage free but there is a small piece of damage next to "David" on the front. For a 44 year old cover it still should be graded as G 
The labels are free of damage, writing and tears- so EX
Will be supplied with a plastic protective sleeve 
Finally after comparing the descriptions and prices of this record on ebay & popsike I have tried to set a reasonable starting price considering its only in GOOD condition - but hey, it is probably a good thing for a Bowie fan to own  a copy in their life time?
