David Bowie The Man Who Sold LP Sealed Cartoon Cover USA Very Rare Vinyl READ

I purchased this LP as an original copy but feel that it may be a counterfeit, my reasoning is that it has a deletion drill hole and the spine title is off center so I cannot confirm it is is an 100% original copy. I am not willing to open the seal to look at the matrix number so an selling as is, please read the notes from Discogs below.

Please see photo detailed photo's for condition, some age but still a cool copy.

Please see my other rare DAVID BOWIE listings.

Will send tracked and securely packed.

A note from Discogs: Counterfeit / bootleg pressing of the US pressing of the album with Cowboy/ cartoon sleeve. Not dated but it is fair to speculate pressed sometime post-1972 when Bowie was becoming more well known. The country is also unknown but judging by the sleeve construction probably USA. There are said to be many more bootlegs of this album than real copies as it sold very few on release. The bootleg is a very faithful reproduction of the original and appears almost exactly identical except for two prominent differences: 1- the matrix # is hand-scratched, NOT machine stamped 2- about 2 seconds of music is missing from All The Madmen, there is a jump cut which misses out the words 'all the same as' from the line 'For I'm quite content they're all the same as me' from the end of the second chorus. Someone who had not heard the album before would probably not notice this edit. This is not a skip it is quite smoothly done and sounds like a tape edit. It suggests there was some imperfection with the source material which was deliberately edited out. Therefore this also suggests the audio is taken from an archival copy of the vinyl and dubbed to tape, rather than a master tape transfer. Apart from this omission the music is of a professional sounding quality and artwork appears identical.
