Description
DAVID BOWIE The Man Who Sold The World (U.S.) Mercury SR 61325
This is a stone original 1970 U.S. Mercury press of David Bowie's 3rd release, "The Man Who Sold The World". Breakthrough hard rock and roll record signalled a change in direction somewhat for Bowie.
Dead Wax Info: Side 1 has SR 61325-A- M2 stamped into the dead wax and PR etched into the dead wax. Side 2 has SR 61325-B- M1 stamped in the dead wax and P.R. etched into the dead wax. Original 1970 U.S. Mercury press.
Vinyl Visual Grade: VG+/NM with good gloss and a few light press marks. Name in pen on Side 1 label (see picture). Labels show minimal, if any, play. Could use a good cleaning as the vinyl is 46 years old. With cleaning, vinyl probably improves grade slightly.
Vinyl Play Grade: VG+/NM with GREAT fidelity and very little noise. An excellent listening copy, one that will get better with a good cleaning, very close to NM.
Cover Visual Grade: VG+ at best with full shrink. Some minor water damage under shrink lower front right. Some general yellowing. Delete punch left front.
Comes with non-original die-cut plain paper inner which I have lined with a rice-plastic style Audiophile inner.
Hello all. My name is Jamie and I have been collecting records for 40+ years. It is time to trim down my unmanageable inventory. My tastes run all over the sonic map, so there should be something for almost everyone.
ALL records will have been visually inspected under BRIGHT incandescent light with extreme scrutiny.
ALL open records will have been play graded using a Thorens TD 165 turntable and Yamaha amplifier (JBL reference headphones). Treble set high so nothing will be hidden in my grades. My grading is as follows:
M or Mint - NOT USED as there is no such thing as perfection.
NM or Near Mint - No significant markings - sealed or RARELY played.
VG+ - Minimal marking - none of which significantly affects fidelity of lp.
VG - Minimal to modest marking which affects lp but not to the point of distraction.
G - Modest marking but still VERY listenable, depending on your ears.
I WILL NOT SELL ANY LP AT LESS THAN G UNLESS THERE IS SIGNIFICANT HISTORICAL VALUE ATTACHED TO THE LP.
ALL COVERS WILL HAVE DETAILED DESCRIPTIONS OF ALL FLAWS.
I USE PROPER RECORD MAILERS WITH STIFFENERS AND PADDED CORNERS. I HAVE BOUGHT TOO MANY RECORDS ON EBAY WITH DINGED CORNERS FROM INSUFFICIENT PACKAGING. BY PADDING THE CORNERS WITH FOLDED BUBBLE WRAP (WHICH I DO) , YOU CAN BE SURE OF RECEIVING AN LP WITH NO DAMAGE TO THE CORNERS.
SHIPPING FEES:
Shipping will be $10 U.S. for anywhere in the U.S. as long as the weight is under 500 grams after packaging.
ON PACKAGES OVER 500g, PLEASE WAIT FOR PROPER INVOICE. MOST LPS CAN BE SHIPPED AS UNDER 500 GRAMS.
Other countries (including Canada), please refer to the Canada Post rates which should be available on the ebay shipping details within the listing.
Returns accepted within 14 days (and with good reason).
I AM A REASONABLE PERSON. I WILL ONLY CHARGE FOR ACTUAL SHIPPING, AND NONE OF THE PACKAGING COSTS. IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE BOUGHT ITEM, PLEASE WORK WITH ME TO FIND A SOLUTION THAT WILL BE TO YOUR LIKING. thanks for this
