DAVID BOWIE
HUNKY DORY
THE VERY RARE RCA 1971 ORIGINAL NO MAINMAN / GEM LOGO 1971 RELEASE
I am confident that collectors are aware of this albums existence and that this particular copy of Hunky Dory is so HARD TO FIND and VERY RARE they just do not come onto the market perhaps only when there is a blue moon
The album is a lovely clean example with RARE details
Please compare my details with the pictures shown to tally
And confirm for that which I`m sharing
The main differences for detail between this album and the more available later releases comes from the rear of the sleeve with
No GEM PRODUCTION nor MAINMAN credits
Dating the album way back to the first release period and shortly before the
ALBUMS WITHDRAWAL from sale as it did not catch the public`s ear at the time
This LAMINATED FRONT sleeve is NOT to be confused with the later
reissued laminated sleeve showing only the GEM Production logo to the rear
And sometimes confused with being the original
This is the TRUE RCA ORIGINAL
The original Robert Stace printed sleeve holds itself well NO splits tears or scribbles The spine is strong with very slight wear to the corners There is a forming of some gentle surface ring wear showing to the front laminate
From the spine only light creases
No major seam wear or discoloration to the rear from it`s handling
A clean VERY STRONG VERY GOOD
The Gem lyric insert has some light creases to be seen
The plain liner has some creases to be seen
The record NOT CLEANED visually I am happy to place this as being EXCELLENT no marks that need mentioning Only light surface hair line marking to be seen on the play surfaces from inner sleeve Shiny and bright
The GLOSS CENTRE LABELS are very clean with no centre spindle tails
Resulting is a beautiful clear play quality
Clean clear clarity and well defined
Only the very gentle patter of stylus on vinyl
There is NO groove wear (background) noise
The play is not faultless some odd inherent characteristic vinyl Tick Clicks
So a professional cleaning recommendation
I am critical for the play quality
All the details for this Hunky Dory album are
