This a great opportunity for a wonderful first pressing Uk Ziggy. The sound will especially blow your mind!
1972 UK RCA issue. SF 8287 (LSP4702)
This os a true first UK pressing:
FIRST PRESSING INDICATIONS
COVER - RCA VICTOR (not INTERNATIONAL); "Printed in England by Robert Stace"; A GEM PRODUCTION (no mention of MainMan)
LABELS - Glossy finish orange labels. Publishing credit to Titanic Music.
VINYL - heavy first pressing. It is by no stretch the thinner vinyl of the Dynaflex years. And most importantly, the matrix numbers in the trail-off vinyl (dead wax): Side 1 matrix is BGBS 0864-1E. Side 2 matrix is BGBS 0865-1E. Matrix numbers are machine stamped and deeply etched. This is the earliest pressing!
CONDITION
COVER = NEAR MINT MINUS. Very slight ring wear. Spine is pristine with all writing perfectly legible. Very slight bumping to corners. A few very light creases these are very minimal one of the nicest covers i have seen.
DISC (AURAL) = NEAR MINT plays superbly
DISC (VISUAL) = NEAR MINT. A couple of extremely light, small marks to Side 1 vinyl. These are not palpable to the touch and DO NOT AFFECT PLAY. No marks at all to Side 2. Vinyl retains its full shine and lustre.
LABELS = NEAR MINT. Glossy finish. No spindle marks present.
LYRIC SLEEVE = VG+++. Some creasing. No tears, splits, or discoloration
All together a superb copy 1st pressing getting so had to find.
