DAVID BOWIE - SPACE ODDITY / WILD EYED BOY FROM FREECLOUD 1969 MONO 7" SINGLE PHILIPS RARE LABEL DIFFERENCES
Matrix Nos: A: 304201 1f//2 420 1 2 1 0 B: 304201 2f//2 420 1 2 2 0
This early pressing is a bit of an odd one, B side label states "MONO" and A side does not so I'm unsure whether Space Oddity is a mono or stereo recording. Also very odd is that the A and B side Philips logos alter, side A features the slim PHILIPS lettered logo and side B features the much fatter PHILIPS logo.
In terms of condition I would say it's EX- yes there are light marks across it on both sides but it still plays really really nicely, certainly nothing there that ruin the listening pleasure. It does have the remains of a small label stuck on the A side that has been partially removed. It comes in a period plain white sleeve that is in good condition - has the track names hand written on it but these were done in period.
My descriptions are visual based on grading as below, wherever possible I will play the record and grade accordingly and state within the listing that it has been played by me. If not stated assume the grading is visual only.
Please see my other listings for more Mod Revival/New Wave/Punk/Metal/Rock singles.
All items are posted in proper record mailers.
RECORD COLLECTOR MAGAZINE GRADING:
MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.
FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.
POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
