Description
This is the second album by David Bowie. I was very lucky to buy the first 3 David Bowie LP's from the original owner, all on the same day back in 1974 ! He had only played them a few times before moving house and all his records went in to storage. He owned my local Record shop where I bought all my records in the 1970's.
The cover is near mint as I hope you can see from the pictures.
The vinyl has some scratches. The main one you can see part of in pictures 12 and 13. This produces a light tick for about a third of the first track at the start, and then is occasional during just over half of the second track. It is a light tick and not a loud pop.
The other scratch is very minor and can be seen in the last 4 pictures. This produces an extremely quiet tick (barely audible) right at the end of side 2 for the last 3 or 4 revolutions of the record. Apart from these marks the vinyl looks near mint and hardly played, and it sounds superb. The labels are perfect with just one or two very light spindle marks. You can only hear a tiny amount of background noise in between tracks, and it is very obvious that this LP has not been played many times. It is also perfectly flat with no warping.
As you know, this is a very rare LP and it will be shipped in a proper LP mailer with stiffeners, and a separate inner sleeve. The maximum insurance with Royal Mail for international shipping is only £250, so if the buyer is outside the UK they would have to accept that risk or arrange their own shipping. Please contact me for a shipping price if you are outside the UK or in the Highlands, Islands or Ireland. Please see my other listings for the Bowie LP's.
