David Bowie – Pinups – Progressive Rock Vinyl LP – Twiggy

$

22

This was one of Bowie’s most unconventional albums.  His objective seemed to be to promote British artists that were otherwise under-played.  With the exception of one original track, the album consists entirely of covers of British bands and artists, though you could hardly say they were all unknowns.  Musicians covered range from the Pretty Things and The Mojos to Pink Floyd, The Who, and Them.  Bowie’s touch makes every one of these tracks an incredible experience.  And in case you didn’t know, the girl on the cover is Twiggy.  The album was released on RCA Victor label in 1973, number APL1-0291.  This is the original release of the album.  The vinyl is in beautiful– condition with its bright original luster and just a couple of very light scratches that barely impact play.  It plays with almost no background noise.  The vinyl grades VG+.  The album cover shows some light ring wear and some light corner and edge wear.  All seams are sharp, tight, and intact.  There is a couple of small scrapes on the back.  It includes the original inner sleeve with the pictures of Bowie holding a saxophone, the lyrics to “Where Have All The Good Times Gone”, and the album credits.  The cover grades VG+.

Grading Information

I only use three grades in my grading:  NM, VG+, and VG.  The only exception is a sealed album which is presumed to have vinyl in mint condition.  My NM grading means, as noted above, that the vinyl looks and plays as though it is the first time out of the sleeve.  The VG+ rating is used on any album that plays great but plays less than perfect.  It may have a pop here and there, or either some occasional or even light consistent background noise.  The key is that, in my opinion, the album will be one you will be proud to have in your collection and will always enjoy hearing.  VG is the lowest grade I use, and granted, this is very subjective.  I will never sell an album that I would not play again myself.  That’s why I listen to every record I list.  I’ve thrown out quite a few albums that I wouldn’t want to say I sold.  Still, there are albums that play well but just have a little more than that typical level of noise.  They sound good, and I’m confident you’ll still enjoy the music.  But you should expect to hear some distracting noise here and there. 

Shipping Information – Combined Shipping

Canada shipping is calculated based on weight using US Postal Service rates.  Combined shipping is also welcomed here and does result in significant per-album cost savings. The first album will be shipped for $13.  Additional albums will be shipped for $2 per album, with up to five albums able to be shipped before we need to use International Priority shipping.  At that point we will work together on final determination of shipping cost. 

The Canada cost determination also applies for all other International shipping, except that the first album is shipped for $18 and each subsequent is an additional $2.50. 

All albums will be shipped in specially designed album hard cardboard mailers with a cardboard insert to prevent damage upon opening.  The vinyl is removed from the cover and presented in a new poly sleeve.  I am committed to one day turnaround on shipments.  If I receive payment before 7:00 AM Central Time I will package and ship that same day.  Payment by Paypal is preferred. 

Thanks for looking and please contact me with any questions.
