RAGAZZO SOLO, RAGAZZA SOLA
(Italian version of SPACE ODDITY)/
WILD-EYED BOY FROM FREE CLOUD, DAVID BOWIE
(NAMELESS 45, catalog # 704 208 BW
blue-label 45 with picture sleeve w/Philips logo, 197?)

A later re-pressing, complete with a (poor) reproduction of the original picture sleeve, of the hard-to-find 1970 Italian-language version of "Space Oddity" in its full album length. Labels say both sides are stereo, but if they are, they’re sure narrow, dull mixes that sound like mono to us. Apart from the lack of the spoken intro that appeared on the Dutch single version, this is the complete acoustic, non-LP 4:42 version of "Wild Eyed Boy"; the U.S. release of the single faded in after the first verse, trimming it to 3:14. An original pressing of that latter record is among the items being sold in our Bowie auctions, so check it out!

CONDITION: [picture sleeve] Light wrinkling to heavy, matte-finish paper sleeve. Call it FINE, for what it is.

[disc] Light paper scuffs to lustrous vinyl. Some light storage dust that will want to be removed before playing. By our admittedly conservative grading standards, we'll call this a strong VERY FINE condition 45.

Disc will be very carefully and sturdily packed. Insurance is mandatory--for your peace of mind and ours too! Good news: it's cheap--typically $1.65 for items valued up to $50.00. Priority Mail shipping is (generally speaking) $7.50 to East Coast, $6.50 to Midwest, $5.50 to West Coast. Results may vary, depending on packed weight of record(s). Media Mail is also an option, although it's more risky. If you insist, we'll ship via Media Mail, but we'll need your Zip Code before we can calculate postage costs!

ATTENTION NON-USA BIDDERS: We welcome bids from non-US customers.
However, before bidding, please be aware of the following:
For one 45 RPM disc, the average cost of shipping for USPS First-Class Mail International is $8.00 USD. For one LP disc, the average cost of shipping for USPS First-Class Mail International is $13.00 USD. The actual shipping cost will vary, depending on your location.

Postage varies from country to country, so it's not possible for us to state the exact postal costs for each item in these auction ads.

In general, with a winning bid of $10-$20 USD, you will pay as much for shipping as you will for the record. Bear this in mind when making your bids. Any shipping-related questions? We're just an e-mail away!
