DAVID BOWIE ALADDIN SANE RARE UK 1973 1ST PRS 3T/3T EX+

	£		31
	$		41

Welcome to my collection of original vinyl from the 60's, 70's and 80's including some rare Prog, Classic Rock and Punk. This is my personal collection, mostly purchased at the time of release including many FIRST PRESSINGS with the original  sleeves, inners and inserts. The vinyl has been in careful storage, in dust and light-proof packaging in PVC sleeves, upright for nearly 30 years and at the time was carefully played on a high-end audiophile system. I have tried to grade as accurately as possible using the Rare Record Collector's guide.  If you would like any more information or photos just email me. Please have a look at my other listings, I am happy to combine postage.

This auction is for a EXCELLENT+ CONDITION VERY RARE FIRST UK PRESSING  ON THE FIRST PRESS HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL WITH AN EXCELLENT+ CLEAN AND SHARP GATEFOLD COVER AND ORIGINAL LYRIC INNER
