DAVID BOWIE
" LODGER "

Lodger is the thirteenth studio album by English singer-songwriter David Bowie. It was originally released in May, 1979 by RCA Records. The last of the Berlin Trilogy, it was recorded in Switzerland and New York City with collaborator Brian Eno and producer Tony Visconti. Unlike Bowie's previous two albums, Lodger contained no instrumentals and a somewhat more pop-oriented style while experimenting with elements of world music and recording techniques inspired by Eno's Oblique Strategies cards.

The album was not, by Bowie's standards, a major commercial success. Indifferently received by critics on its initial release, it is now widely considered to be among Bowie's most underrated albums. It was accompanied by several singles, including the UK Top 10 hit "Boys Keep Swinging".

Play Grading    Usually when there are visible deep marks or potential marks that may effect the sound quality, I will Test Play these areas to see what if any effects they may have. * This is an very opinionated area of grading, different levels of tolerance, realizing the natural sound of vinyl records new or used, different play back equipment, etc.  Praise the Seller for even opening  his mouth with Sound Quality Opinions! My idea of EX and yours of G+? So just take the comments, look at the Seller's Report Card/ Feed Back, combine with the Visual Grade and the Cost and make your decision! If you receive a Record/Item that is appears to be a definite mistake or intentional description error, than immediately contact the Seller and POLITELY  ask to return the item for a full refund or make an offer of acceptance to keep AS IS! No need to involve EBAY in the return process unless one or both Party's are unreasonable.
Unless stated I will only Play Grade test the areas of concern and random locations. Can not be responsible for the entire records Play Grade condition.
