RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!!THIS IS ONE OF DAVID BOWIE'S RAREST LPs EVER - AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE!!!!IT IS ONE OF THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER LPs ON THE RCA LABEL - AND IS INCREDIBLY HARD TO LOCATE!!!!BUT WHAT MAKES THIS LP REALLY SPECIAL IS THAT IT IS ONE OF THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSINGS WITH EVERY SINGLE 1ST PRESS DETAIL FROM THE VERY 'DAY OF RELEASE' BACK IN 1972!!!!ONLY A TINY HANDFUL OF 1ST PRESSINGS - WERE EVER MADE LIKE THIS, BEFORE DETAILS ON THIS LP WERE IMMEDIATELY CHANGED!!!!I WILL EXPLAIN WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT TO OTHER SO-CALLED 1ST PRESSINGS.

FIRSTLY THIS LP HAS NO 'MAINMAN' CREDIT ON ANY PART OF THE LP (LATER ONES DO!)

SECONDLY THE COVER, THE 'PICTURE/LYRIC' INNER SLEEVE, AND THE LABELS - ALL HAVE THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS 'TITANIC MUSIC/GEM PRODUCTION' CREDITS, WHICH WAS CHANGED ON ALL LATER PRESSINGS.

ALSO,THE COVER IS BASED ON THE AMERICAN ONE;THE COVER PICTURE IS CROPPED ON THE LEFT-HAND MARGIN AND THE TITLE.FURTHERMORE THE PICTURE IS A BIT BLURRY.

THIRDLY THE LABELS ARE THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS 'MIRROR-LIKE' SHINY ORANGE RCA LABELS (LATER ONES ARE SEMI-MATT OR MATT) WITH THE CORRECT 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS 'LARGER' TYPEFACE (LATER ONES WERE SMALLER!) AND MEGA THICK QUALITY VINYL (LATER ONES ARE MUCH THINNER AND FLEXIBLE "DYNAFLEX"!!!!

AND LASTLY & MOST IMPORTANTLY - THE MATRIXES END IN 1E/2E (LATER ONES HAVE HIGHER MATRIXES!), CLEARLY SHOWING THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSINGS EVER MADE.

VINYL CONDITION: EX . SHOWS MINOR SCUFF MARKS.
