Description
DAVID BOWIE – LET’S DANCE Original 1983 US First Pressing • EMI America Records (SO-17093) Condition: Factory Sealed / Mint (Vinyl) | Near Mint (Jacket)
For audiophiles and definitive rock collectors, this is the holy grail format of David Bowie's commercial peak. Produced alongside Nile Rodgers and featuring the legendary, blazing guitar work of a young Stevie Ray Vaughan, this 1983 masterpiece bridges art-pop, new wave, and dance-floor perfection.
EtsyThis specific copy is a true time capsule. It remains completely factory sealed in its original shrink wrap from 1983. Adding immense historical charm, the front features two original, vintage retail stickers from the iconic "Harmony Hut" music chain—one clearly dated "8/83" with the original $8.98 list price, and an advertised markdown sticker to $6.22.
Collector’s Condition Notes:
-
The Vinyl: Unplayed and factory sealed. Pristine Mint.
-
The Jacket: Vibrant colors and fully intact structure. The shrink wrap is taut and original with factory breath holes. Under careful inspection, there is only the absolute minimum of minor, unavoidable shelf wear to the corner tips and a tiny wrinkle in the shrink wrap near the edges, common for a heavy-jacket LP stored for over four decades. No barcode cut-outs, saw cuts, or punch holes.
This is a museum-grade piece of music history ready for an archival collection or premium framing.
