Description
DAVID BOWIE - The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars, with lyric inner sleeve.
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 has all the hallmarks of the genuine 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 - satin/shiny 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!
