All other versions with this cover are counterfeits (with etched matrix numbers) and should not be listed here.   This US release is the first release on LP of The Man Who Sold the World. It was only released in two countries - US and Japan (SFX-7345) - with this original cover. The building in the background is the Cane Hill Hospital where David Bowie's half-brother Terry was a patient.   The album was released in a further three countries on the Mercury label - Germany (David Bowie - The Man Who Sold The World) in a large circular fold-out cover and the United Kingdom and Australia with a picture of David reclining in a dress. This latter cover is the one used on contemporary releases.   The US Mercury album was counterfeited (see David Bowie - The Man Who Sold The World) in the early 1970s after Bowie became popular. It was possible for a potential buyer to choose between the official RCA reissue (in yet another cover, see David Bowie - The Man Who Sold The World) and the widely distributed counterfeit.   The following visual indicators can be used to confirm an original US Mercury LP: • The matrices in the runout (the space between the label and the grooves) are machine stamped (the counterfeits are hand etched). • The space between the final lyric line of The Supermen and the cartoon bubble "Oh By Jingo" on the back cover is approximately the height of a line of text, while on the counterfeits the space is notably wider.   There are other differences, though these can be more easily seen and described in a side-by-side comparison. Barcode and Other Identifiers Rights Society: ASCAP Matrix / Runout (Side A, Runout, Stamped): SR 61325-A- M2 Matrix / Runout (Side B, Runout, Stamped): SR 61325-B- M1 This Record includes the Loricraft PRC-6 Deep Cleanse Package: See Below for Details •  Loricraft PRC6 Record Cleaning Machine is Loricraft’s latest offering in the Vinyl Cleaning Marketplace and is the standard that other cleaners are measured by. • The bigger chassis houses a larger pump that provides the same suction as other models but is quieter. • The forward/reverse facility aids the cleaning process to practically eliminate bound in dirts and cleaning agents. • Vacuum suction is concentrated in a tiny nylon nozzle tip that rides on a nylon thread, thus focusing the suction action and protecting the record surface at the same time. • The antistatic nylon thread is manually drawn out a few millimetres before each cleaning so that the record is only ever touched by a small, clean, soft surface. • L’Art du Son cleaning fluid is used. This is diluted with distilled water at a factory set percentage applied to surface of record and brushed into grooves to soak and lift out dirt prior to extraction. • Less than a minute is all it takes to clean each LP side thoroughly, leaving the grooves completely dry. • Guaranteed Sound Improvement and Greater Clarity (static free) than an uncleansed competitor product*   *Comparing for equal Year/Label/Condition/Origin Increased Signal Clarity Reduced Noise • Prevents any Stylus Fluff Detritus Build Up when Playing! Static attraction eliminated between sleeve and platter. Distortion removed and Sound Levels Reproduced to Restore 100 percent of groove potential. • For Discernably higher perfomance delivering DE FACTO Audible Reproduction on higher end Turntables. • The aim “silence tone arm” from non studio mastered rumble and tonal imperfections due to worked in detritus fingerprint,  and that which the factory production originally enabled*. • Therefore your Record is Quieter between tracks and brighter clearer with marginal increase of source improvements levels across the original mastering & recording spectrum.    *Effects on Unnecessary overtrack travel (elevated tracking due to detritus) caused through prior usage and/or  the further removal of factory print (bound dust and static) from non Sterile Production Environment (steam dust attracted at cooling stage and cooled into pressing)
