Description
Limited to 5000 presses and released the day before David Bowie died.
Clear vinyl that has never been opened far less played and is in mint condition.
There is a slight straggle of plastic inside the cover, from the plastic wallet sleeve of the 'Star'. It's not on the record though.
Postage will be insured to full price to protect both of us.
