Notes
Counterfeit / bootleg pressing of the US pressing of the album with Cowboy / cartoon sleeve.Not dated but it is fair to speculate pressed sometime post-1972
when Bowie was becoming more well known.
The country is also unknown but judging by the sleeve construction probably USA.
There are said to be many more bootlegs of this album than real copies
as it sold very few on release.
The bootleg is a very faithful reproduction of the original
and appears almost exactly identical except for two prominent differences:
1- the matrix # is hand-etched, NOT machine stamped
2- about 2 seconds of music is missing from All The Madmen, there is a
jump cut which misses out the words 'all the same as' from the line
'For I'm quite content they're all the same as me' from the end of the second chorus.
Someone who had not heard the album before would probably not notice this edit.
This is not a skip it is quite smoothly done and sounds like a tape edit.
It suggests there was some imperfection with the source material which was deliberately edited out.
Therefore this also suggests the audio is taken from an archival copy of the vinyl
and dubbed to tape, rather than a master tape transfer.
Apart from this omission the music is of a professional sounding quality and artwork appears identical.
Recorded at Trident Studios and Advision Studios, London, England
Remixed at Trident Studios, London, England
'Many thanks to our engineer, Ken.'

My records are described according to ?The Record Collector?s? grading system.
This was originated by ?The Record Collector? to assist people buying or selling records.
Their seven standard condition categories and a description of what each one means are given below.
I hope you find this helpful.
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 records 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.
