Please Read Full Listing Before Purchase - Thanks.

I have Decided to part with some of my own personal collection that I have collected over many years.

I have collected records of many genres for 30+ years - please buy with confidence.

On offer is The LP - The Man Who Sold The World by David Bowie.

1973 Unofficial Re-Pressing on the Mercury Records Label - SR-61325.

Side 1: Running gun blues, Saviour machine, She shook me cold, The man who sold the world, The supermen.

Side 2: The width of a circle, All the mad men, Black country rock, After all.

Vinyl -  EX- - Some surface marks although the vinyl plays Excellent throughout albeit with some small tics/clicks being heard, right at end of each side leading out of track into dead wax there is click/crackle which I believe was where the tape ran out on the re - recording on this album, No skips jumps etc.

The original U.S.A copies of this album pressed in 1970 sold very few and are indeed very rare, after Bowie became more successful lots of represses of the original were made, I believe this to be a repress from around 1973, the rear sleeve has the lyrics pasted on, the vinyl itself has no date, the sound quality at the end of each side leading out into the dead wax distorts and ends abruptly, all classic signs of a 1973 re-press, Please bear all this in mind before purchasing, If it was a genuine 1970 press the price would be well over £1000 for a decent copy.  

Sleeve - VG -  Provided in Sleeve as pictured which has some age related wear although nothing too major as can be seen in the pics.

Vinyl - Excellent: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening of sound quality.

1. 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.

2. Excellent: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening of sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.

3. 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.

4. 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, discolouration etc...

5. 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 badly damaged or partly missing.

6. 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.

7. Bad: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler.
