CONDITION-
SLEEVE-
PAPER RCA COMPANY SLEEVE STATING PROMOTIONAL COPY/DEMONSTRATION SAMPLE NOT FOR SALE FANTASTIC TO HAVE THE ACTUAL DEMO SLEEVE, HAS BEEN WELL HANDLED IN ITS 41 YEARS YEARS, IS A BIT GRUBBY, AS EXPECTED BUT MINIMAL CREASING, AND OBVIOUSLY HAS SLIGHTLY LOST COLOUR, BUT STILL NICE TO HAVE.
LABELS-
A-SIDE-ORANGE RCA LABELS, MAINMAN CREDITS, HAS THE LARGE BLACK A IN THE MIDDLE,AND PRINTED "DEMONSTRATION SAMPLE NOT FOR SALE". AND RELEASE DATE PRINTED AS 1-9-72, ALSO HAS A SMALL INK SIGNATURE TO THE LEFT .
B- SIDE VERY NICE RCA LABEL VIRTUALLY PERFECT, DEMO NOT FOR SALE CLEARLY PRINTED AS IS THE DATE OF RELEASE.
VINYL- FOUR PRONG PERMANENT CENTRE IS IN PLACE. THERE IS A SMALL CHIP OUT OF THE VINYL AT THE VERY EDGE, IT IS ABOUT 3MM BUT DOES NOT AFFECT THE PLAYING OF THE RECORD WHATSOEVER. BOTH SIDES OF THIS SUPERB OLD DISC HAVE QUITE A FEW MARKS TO THE VINYL. THE A-SIDE PLAYS GREAT YOU CAN OBVIOUSLY HEAR THE ODD POP OR ,CRACKLES,ECT BUT SURPRISINGLY SO MUCH BETTER THAN IT FIRST LOOKS. ON PLAYING I DETECTED NOTHING IN THE WAY OF JUMPS, SKIPS, OR STICKING AND STILL A GREAT SOUND. RUN IN AND RUN OUT SLIGHT CRACKLES, ONCE AGAIN BOWIES VOCAL SUPERB!.
THE B-SIDE HAS SURFACE NOISE WHICH YOU TEND TO HEAR NOW AND THEN, MAINLY CRACKLES ON THE RUN IN AND RUN OUT.PLUS A FEW POPS. ON PLAYING I DETECTED NO SKIPS, JUMPS, OR STICKING, AND ON A 41 YEAR OLD VINYL THATS PRETTY GOOD.ONCE AGAIN BOWIES POWERFUL VOCAL SHINES THROUGH.
OVERALL-
IF YOU ARE EXPECTING TO RECEIVE A MINT CONDITION RECORD THIS IS NOT FOR YOU. ALTHOUGH THERE IS SOME NOISE, IT SOMEHOW DOES NOT DETRACT FROM BOWIES WONDERFUL CRISP CLEAN VOCALS, AND ON "HANG ON TO YOURSELF" THE VOCALS ARE VERY POWERFUL AND CLEAR. THIS IS AN HONEST DESCRIPTION OF WHAT I STILL THINK IS A GREAT OLD RECORD TO OWN, AND NOT OFTEN SEEN ON EBAY.
