ATTENTION DAVID BOWIE COLLECTORS AND CONDITION UPGRADERS!
HERE IS AN ORIGINAL GERMAN PRESSING OF THE RARELY SEEN(ESPECIALLY IN THIS SUPERB CONDITION)ESSENTIAL 12" OF "ASHES TO ASHES" BY DAVID BOWIE THAT HAS ONLY BEEN PLAYED 2-3 TIMES AT THE VERY MOST SINCE BOUGHT IN 1980. THIS WAS A UK HIT WHICH REACHED #1 WITH MOST COPIES SELLING ON THE 7" FORMAT AS THERE WAS NO UK 12" ISSUE AT THE TIME WITH MOST FANS NOT ABLE TO SOURCE THIS GERMAN IMPORT AS ONLY SELECTIVE SHOPS WOULD STOCK THEM.HOUSED IN A CLEAN PICTURE COVER! RCA PC 9631. THE"B"SIDE="ALABAMA SONG".
THE PICTURE COVER HAS AN ULTRA TINY SURFACE SPOT TEAR IN THE TOP RIGHT HAND CORNER AND A COUPLE OF ULTRA TINY EDGE CREASES BUT NO WRITING,SPLITS OR REPAIRS.
DIRECT FROM THE COLLECTION OF A MAJOR COLLECTOR WHO HAS FINALLY DECIDED TO SELL HAVING CARED AND CHERISHED HIS RECORDS-MOST BOUGHT NEW AT THE TIME WITH MINIMAL PLAYS AS OFTEN THE CASE WITH LARGE COLLECTIONS.THIS ONE BEING BOUGHT MORE AS A SOUVENIR WITH THE PREVIOUS OWNER DECIDING VERY WISELY TO KEEP THIS IN PRISTINE CONDITION! GET IT WHILE YOU CAN! VERY NEAR MINT CONDITION!
STORED UPRIGHT ON STRONG SHELVING AWAY FROM LIGHT,HEAT,DAMP AND THE PREVIOUS OWNER WAS NOT A SMOKER! LOCATING A NEAR MINT COPY IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE AS THERE WERE VERY FEW PRESSINGS FOR THIS SINGLE IN THE 12" VINYL FORMAT! DELETED WITHIN A FEW WEEKS OF ISSUE WITH THE MAJORITY OF COPIES PLAYED OVER AND OVER AGAIN CAUSING MAJOR DISTORTION AND GENERAL WEAR.THIS 12" IS FANTASTIC! PLEASE SEE THE PHOTOS WHICH SHOW THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE COVER AND BOTH LABELS. A LOW,REALISTIC £10 STARTING PRICE FOR THIS IN DEMAND SINGLE IN 12 INCH VINYL. PERSONAL COLLECTION IS WELCOME FROM MY SHOP IN NORWICH AT A MUTUALLY CONVENIENT TIME.
Over the years I have helped to add to the collections of many collectors and given my experience, I am aware of the titles that are GENUINE RARE ITEMS.
Now of course for those who are"chained"to the record collector price guide books,for whom I am one of the main consultants, the prices are still a SUGGESTION and as we all know ACTUAL prices SOLD can vary.
The sellers on ebay who continually put"listed"or "list price"on everything should be aware of this!!!!
This is my honest grading!!!
