Description

David Bowie - Diamond Dogs (Mid-70's, RCA, Aus)
Very nice RCA tan label repress. This label variation was used during 1975-1976 before moving to the black label design. 

Matrix Side A: CPL1 0576 A A1A 28 Matrix Side B: CPL1 0576 B A1A 37
Vinyl Grade - VG+
Several hairline marks but nothing significant. The record has been cleaned (see below).
Sleeve Grade - VG
Small seam split, moderate ring wear and some scuffing of edges. Some age staining and other light staining along the top of the gatefold which I can't identify. It's not sticky and it doesn't look like it has been wet (see photos).
Play Grade - VG+*
Light warp - no effect. Light to medium crackle throughout but not overpowering and mostly covered by the music. No obvious IGD. No skips or jumps.
Specific issues:
Track A3 - Light pop left channel at 0.19 Track B2 - Medium to loud tick right channel at 3.10 + light pop left channel at 4.40

Other Grades
Labels in VG+ condition

All records have been cleaned using a vacuum-based record cleaner (KAB EV-1 RECORD CLEANER)
* A note about play grading:
I play grade through headphones and make note of any obvious ticks / pops / distortion / sibilance / IGD that can be heard above general background crackle. My setup: Pro-ject Mk II Xpression III turntable fitted with an Ortofon 2M Bronze cartridge, through to a Vincent Pho-8 Phono Pre-amplifier, on to a Cambridge Audio 651A Stereo Amplifier and finally out to a pair of Grado sr225i headphones.

I use Goldmine gradings. If you have any issues, please let me know. 
Recycled LP mailers are used for postage, with bubble wrap for extra protection. I will combine postage - just ask. 
If you have any questions, please ask - I will get back to you within 12-24 hours (usually much less).
