Description

Mega rare original holy grail!!!! with Stamped matrix numbers!!

David Bowie  ...The Man Who Sold The World

Genuine German first pressing 1971 100% the real deal!!!! please read on..

Mercury records 6338 041

Legendary unique German pressing in fold out sleeve creating a large circular picture

This record has been famously counterfited and please do your homework as they are good copies and could easily fool someone.here are a few pointers to help you...

1..Hair detail...Original front sleeve hair detail has many shades of blue, the copy is solid blue!!

2..the copy is made from a photocopy of an original and obviously had a sticky tape repair to the top edge which is transferred on to the fake, this original has genuine ringwear only

3..when opened up the large original picture has 3 planets to the far left, these are cropped on the fake

4... this original  vinyl has machine stamped matrix numbers, the fake is hand etched

5.. The fake is made from much thicker card, this original is not.

Now for the description...

Vinyl is Very good !!! has some marks but overall is a very clean example,Not the usual junk that gets described as VG it plays very well throughout without skipping or jumping and has some light crackle in the background, the stamped matrix numbers are ...
                                               10  AA6338041  1Y  320  on side 1
                                               10  AA6338041  2Y  320  on side 2

The fantastic open out circular sleeve has ringwear as expected, but for a 45 year old record of this rarity is totally acceptable

Also includes the original lyric sleeve which is in very good condition,just a bit of edgewear and the one edge has come unglued, no splits

I am thinning out my Bowie collection as I cant justify having all these rare records and not playing them, they should go to a real enthusiast

Record will be well packed in a record mailer with cardboard stiffeners,marked as fragile and sent freepost, first class recorded,thanks for looking and if tempted feel free to bid,if not then check out some more of my Bowie records listed over the next few weeks

Any questions please ask
