ATTENTION DAVID BOWIE AND PROGRESSIVE ROCK ALBUM COLLECTORS! HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1971 STEREO USA PRESSING OF THE ESSENTIAL ALBUM BY DAVID BOWIE:"THE MAN WHO SOLD THE WORLD". IT'S THE FIRST AMERICAN COPY I HAVE FOUND IN YEARS AND IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT TO THE UK ISSUE HAVING A DIFFERENT "CARTOON" TYPE COVER DESIGN AND ISSUED ON THE MERCURY LABEL SR 61325 WHEN IT INITIALLY FAILED TO CHART.  PLEASE SEE THE PHOTOS FOR THE TRACKS ON THIS LP ONLY ISSUED IN STEREO PRESSED ON THICK 100% FLAT VINYL!  LOCATING A REALLY NICE ORIGINAL AMERICAN 1ST EDITION IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE AS THE MAJORITY OF COPIES WERE PLAYED OVER AND OVER AGAIN CAUSING MAJOR DISTORTION AND GENERAL WEAR OR EXPOSED TO HEAT AS THE COUNTRY HAS MANY MONTHS OF HIGH TEMPERATURES!. THIS COPY HAS SOME LIGHT SURFACE MARKS VISIBLE UNDER STRONG LIGHT! THERE IS SOME SURFACE HISS TYPE NOISE NOTICEABLE ON THE QUIETER TRACKS AS WITH MOST AMERICAN PRESSINGS OF THE EARLY 1970s BUT NO LOUD CLICKS,STICKS OR JUMPS.  STRICTLY GRADED AS NEAR EXCELLENT CONDITION!  NO SPINDLE WEAR.CLEAN LABELS WITH NO STAINING,WRITING,RIPS OR DEFACEMENT!  THE COVER HAS THE WORD"TAPE" AND BRACKET IN PEN AT THE BACK,A TINY SURFACE TEAR AT THE FRONT,A TINY IMPORT PUNCHED HOLE AND SLIGHT STAINING+A COUPLE OF TINY EDGE CREASES BUT NO RIPS OR REPAIRS AND STILL VERY PRESENTABLE.

  PLEASE SEE ALL THE PHOTOS SHOWING THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE COVER AND BOTH LABELS! NOTHING TO HIDE! A LOW,REALISTIC £12 STARTING PRICE. MORE GREAT LPs FROM ME ON EBAY FOR AUCTION WITHIN MINUTES AND HOURS OF THIS AUCTION ENDING!.ALTHOUGH I AM STATING RATES FOR STANDARD 1ST CLASS SIGNED FOR/STANDARD AIR MAIL WITH NO INSURANCE-FOR PEACE OF MIND AND AS THIS IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND,I WOULD SUGGEST TO SEND THIS LP SPECIAL DELIVERY OR INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR IN A SAFE,SOLID PARCEL BUT PERSONAL COLLECTION FROM MY SHOP IN NORWICH IS WELCOME AT A MUTUALLY CONVENIENT TIME.LOOK AT MY FEEDBACK FOR SIMILAR RECORDS SOLD FOR TOTAL CONFIDENCE!

Over the years I have helped to add to the collections of many  collectors and given my experience, I am aware of the titles that are GENUINE RARE ITEMS.

Now of course for those who are"chained"to the record collector price guide books,for whom I am one of the main consultants, the prices are still a SUGGESTION and as we all know ACTUAL prices SOLD can vary.

The sellers on ebay who continually put"listed"or "list price"on everything should be aware of this!!!!     

This is my honest grading!!!

Please see my listening policy below. 

I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!
