Description

TRACK LISTING: See photos
This is a very precise description so please read very carefully before bidding. 

  • VINYL: When playing the record the reproduction for tracks 2 through to 9 is Very Good to Excellent with some slight surface noise between tracks as expected from a 42 year old LP. The appearance is Very Good with some marks - the most noticeable being at the beginning of side B - surprisingly this has almost zero affect on the play. However a less obvious mark on the A side does, at present, affect the play (pop & skip) twice at the end of the "countdown" in Space Oddity.  This is the only disappointment as afterwards the record plays very very well on my Sony PS-LX56 deck. I don't know but it may be the case that if the record was played on more sophisticated equipment with a weight adjusting arm that the affected area will play through. The price reflects this risk.
  • COVER: Very little wear - no tears, writing or stickers- edges and interior dust cover reflect 42 years of wear
  • LABEL: Black - slight spindle wear but undamaged with no evidence of tears, writing or stickers
This is a low starting price for a very rare and much desired piece of Rock history - before its time and holding many clues as to the brilliance that unfolded in the following 30+ years. The Popsike website is littered with three figure prices enthusiasts have paid to own a copy and at present those listed under  "buy it now" are even higher. 
So why am I selling? If you have time to visit my feedback you will see that I collect singles rather than albums.  
Best of luck & happy Easter.
