David Bowie ?– The Man Who Sold The World LP

SR-61325 Unofficial Release

Vinyl: visual VG, plays VG+.

Sleeve: VG (edgewear, please see pics). Solid copy!
Mid 70s counterfeit of the original US Mercury edition of the album.
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. The bootleg is a very faithful reproduction of the original and appears almost exactly identical except for three 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. 3 - The rear cover speech bubble "Oh by jingo" on an actual Mercury cover is very close to the lyrics above it (less than a lyric line space below the lyric "So softly a supergod cries (second times dies)" ), whereas on counterfeits the speech bubble is almost three line spaces below.
