Description
Artist: David Bowie
Title: The Rise & Fall of Ziggy Stardust & the Spiders From Mars
Details: - This is part of my Personal Collection which I have spent many years acquiring and I am gradually selling. On offer here is the Rare Original 1972 UK Issue of the classic David Bowie LP Ziggy Stardust, although released in the thousands the original UK Issues are hard to find. The originals have `Titanic Music Credits` on the label (later versions have Mainman credits on the label) some were issued on the cheaper `Dynaflex` (due to the oil crisis) this is on nice thick vinyl, It comes in the original `Printed in England by Robert Stace` floppy sleeve again "NO Mainman credits" on the rear (this shows up on later editions), comes with original white lyric inner and all still in very nice EX condition - Run out/Matrix side 1 BGBS 0864 2E side 2 BGBS 0865 2E
Label: RCA Victor
Catalogue No: SF 8287/BGBS 0864
Year: 1972
Country: UK
Vinyl: (EX+) Great condition, Looks `As New` under standard lighting - even under very Bright Halogen Spotlights I can see only light sleeve removal marks & some speckling in the vinyl (I feel this has been there since manufacture) this is a solid thicker copy & Plays & Sounds Great, No feelable scratches/sticks or skips
Sleeve: (EX+) Fragile delicate `Robert Stace` single matt sleeve very prone to wear, this copy however has been well looked after, very little ringwear (unusual for this thin sleeve), minimal creasing, top edge looks nice again with minimal wear, bottom edge is more worn from shelf wear but still sound, sharp opening showing minimal play, decent spine with some fading on David Bowie lettering still great for this fragile sleeve (see photos for full overview) a great find for this rare sleeve.
Labels: Original Orange RCA Victor Labels with `Titanic/Chrysalis` credits - just one or two visible spindle lines - minimal play
* buy multiple items and save on postage
I use professionally made packers with card stiffeners & record removed from album cover
I use lots of photos to show as accurately as possible what you are getting (also I dont cut the corners of the record sleeve off the picture!!)
Gradings: I use the standard UK gradings as set out in Record Collector Magazine below:
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.
Near Mint, EX+, VG+ etc are acceptable additions to help `fine tune` descriptions for the buyer
