GENUINE U.S. PRESSING
ORIGINAL ORANGE RCA VICTOR LABEL, LATE 60’S/EARLY 70’S STYLE

ORIGINAL, THIN CARDBOARD COVER (NO THICK CARDBOARD COVERS WERE EVER PRODUCED FOR THIS TITLE)
COVER HAS A NIFTY 'PROMO COPY NOT FOR SALE' STICKER STILL AFFIXED TO THE BACK. THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN ONE OF THE FIRST PRESSED TO SEND OUT TO RADIO STATIONS AND RECORD STORES.
FAIRLY THICK VINYL PRESSING On the scale from 1 to 10 (1 being the least thick, and 10 being the thickest), I assess the thickness of the vinyl as 6.

INCLUDES THE ORIGINAL POSTER UNIQUE TO THIS LP IN GREAT SHAPE! (SEE PHOTO).
The Man Who Sold the World, even if it didn't include any singles, might be considered the start of David Bowie's golden era. Bowie created a tight, twisted heavy guitar rock that seems straightforward at first listen but grows more gnarly with each listen while collaborating for the first time with producer Tony Visconti and guitarist Mick Ronson. The guitars and Bowie's strangled, affected voice are off-center in the mix, with the fuzz-bass overpowering the compressed, razor-thin guitars. The Man Who Sold the World has an unusual sound, but the song itself is strange because Bowie's strange, paranoid futuristic narratives are blended with Ronson's riffing and the band's unrelenting onslaught. The Man Who Sold the World's musical creativity is minimal and virtually entirely hard.
(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; I grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)
THE VINYL LOOKS HARDLY PLAYED OR USED AT ALL. NO MARKS. NO PAPER SCUFFS. NO SCRATCHES. NO FINGERPRINTS. THE ONLY REASON I CAN’T GRADE HIGHER IS BECAUSE THERE IS A BIT OF WRITING ON THE SIDE A LABEL.
THE CUSTOM INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN GREAT SHAPE (SEE PHOTO).
Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!
THE COVER VG FOR GENERAL WEAR (SEE PHOTOS), BUT NO SEAM SPLITS AND THE SPINE IS STILL SOLID.
