** RARE EARLY PRESSING UK YELLOW LABEL RCA LABEL ISSUE OF CLASSIC DAVID BOWIE LP WITH GATEFOLD SLEEVE **

** THE LABEL CREDITS "BEWITCHED" AFTER "FUTURE LEGEND", BUT THE SLEEVE DOES NOT **

A Very Good+ condition disc. Some very fine hairline marks, and some very small surface marks, which can mainly be seen under a strong light. No skips, jumps, warps, sticking, or writing on labels. Good sound quality throughout, with some occasional minor surface noise. A very small scratch on Side 2 Track 1, which causes a few minor clicks. Tested on a Thorens turntable.

Gatefold sleeve, printed on thick glossy card on all four sides, is in Very Good+ condition.  "Printed in England by Clout and Baker Ltd". Some wear to corners, and edges. No major creasing anywhere. Spine in very good condition, (apart from corners) and most text is still legible. No writing anywhere.

There is a poster included with this LP, the design of which replicates the inner part of the gatefold sleeve. I do not think this is part of this original release, but it has probably been added from a later re-issue of this LP. I have however included it.

Supplied in plain white inner sleeve with polythene inner bag.

GRADING:

All records are graded using the 'Record Collector' format:

MINT (M): The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

EXCELLENT (EX): The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

VERY GOOD (VG): The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD (G): The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.

FAIR (F): The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.

POOR (P): The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

BAD (B): The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
