Description
As a self confessed vinyl addict, I have been collecting classic albums for almost sixty years. During this time I have always played my albums on the best equipment I could afford with particular emphasis on cartridges. In recent months I have been selling some of my original, classic albums and I am now selling one of the most iconic albums of its era, namely The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars by David Bowie.
To the best of my ability I will provide an honest and accurate assessment of every album I submit for sale on eBay. I Play-Grade every record I offer in their entirety so that I can mention any flaws, no matter how small, to be as fair as possible to any interested collector. Having taken great care with my collection over the years I can provide an honest assessment as the original owner.

Play-Grade shows no crackles, pops or scratches and minimal surface noise between tracks. The dynamics are excellent with an almost 3D sound stage. The music shines through on this epic album with vocals and instrumentation providing superb playback for an original, rare pressing.
This is a rare opportunity to obtain such a sought after original UK pressing. You will rarely come across a very scarce, original pressing in this condition. Using the agreed grading system I can classify the album as follows:
Outer Sleeve - EX+
Spine: no damage, splits or noticeable wear (please see photos).
Inner Sleeve - EX
Vinyl - EX+
With all three components in superb condition this is a wonderful album that plays beautifully. As stated on the cover “TO BE PLAYED AT MAXIMUM VOLUME”.
All my albums are shipped correctly and safely by separating the disc from the outer sleeve.
Thank you for looking.
