Here is an original 1972 LP pressing on the RCA Victor label (LSP-4702) from David Bowie titled "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars".  This has the rare lyrics / picture sleeve!      The matrix/runout numbers show that this is the Rockaway pressing.      Matrix / Runout (Side A): APRS- 6814-6S-A2S  R Matrix / Runout (Side B): APRS- 6815-4S-A7G  R     Side 1: 1.  Five Years 2.  Soul Love 3.  Moonage Daydream 4.  Starman 5.  It Ain't Easy    Side 2: 1.  Lady Stardust 2.  Star 3.  Hang On To Yourself 4.  Ziggy Stardust 5.  Suffragette City 6.  Rock 'N' Roll Suicide                                      All my vinyl is play graded, and NOT visually graded.  My vinyl is also cleaned with a Nitty Gritty record cleaning machine.                                                 The vinyl plays in NM condition, and the fidelity is fantastic!     The cover is in EXC condition - it has light very ring wear, and all seams are solid with NO splits.     The original lyrics / picture sleeve is in MINT condition!  It has NO folds or creases, NO rips or tears, and all seams have NO splits!
    My apologies for the high international shipping prices, but this rare item must be insured, and I must use International Priority shipping to insure the package.         I combine shipping for multiple items won.  I charge by weight (roughly 13 oz. per LP), and not by item, which makes it much more fair for the buyer.      I DO NOT SHIP TO SOUTH AMERICA!    Please note - I no longer ship to South America.  You can thank the Brazilian postal service for that - they are quite corrupt and they have "lost" too many of my packages.  Seeing that Brazil comprised 99% of my shipments to South America, I have decided to no longer ship to all of South America.                                                 
Please note: I've had several reports of some international packages taking several months to arrive, and two packages never arrived at all. If you want your package insured you must pay for Priority International shipping. First Class International shipping can not be insured (that's the post office's rule, not mine). I know the cost of Priority International shipping is outrageous, but that's the only way I can insure an international package.

Please contact me within three days after receiving your invoice, or your items will be relisted or offered to the next highest bidder. I have had too many delinquent bidders that have kept me hanging wondering if they plan on honoring their bids. If you bid on an item and you will not be around to contact me when the auction ends, please send me a message before the auction ends to let me know. I would very much appreciate the courtesy. Thank you.

If you require special packaging, inform me before you pay. I'm tired of people paying me, and then telling me they practically want the item shipped in a stainless steel case. Special packaging requires more material, which means it will weigh more, which means it will cost more. If you have already paid, you will get MY packaging regardless of what you specify afterward. You can see from my feedback that most items arrive safely and packaged well. The post office is sometimes irresponsible with their handling, but if an item is damaged it's not because of the packaging, it's because the post office treated it very badly.
