Description

PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question.   OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. In the unlikely instance that you feel the need to open a resolution dispute before working with us, you will immediately be blocked from any further chance to acquire the rare music we present each and every week.   Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Please keep in mind our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office.Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has became very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable and will result in blocking the bidder. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our 8000 plus positive feedback.   We use a VPI machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery.   We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so.

MINTY CLEAN ....SCARCE original 1972 first pressing of the legendary SPACE ODDITY album by the trend setting David Bowie...

YES, THE LARGE DAVID BOWIE POSTER IS INCLUDED!

and includes the double sided lyrics and Bowie photo inner sleeve!

The SPACE ODDITY album hails from a time before the artist's true reckoning, but reflects his true talent. While "Space Oddity" and "Cygnet Committee" are the only two songs that foreshadow the odysseys to come on such albums as The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars, and "Unwashed..." is the only slightly rock'n'roll tune to precede things like Hunky Dory, this selection isn't without its niche in the catalog.

The slammed acoustic guitar is a mainstay throughout the tracklist, depicting an honest, intimate look into Bowie's mind. Overall, it has a very folky sound with vivid phantasmagoric lyrical imageries, from the vocal melodies to the accompaniments, and also the fact that about half of the songs include percussion as anything more than distant, padded thumps. But as always, Bowie's lyrics are a paradox of opaqueness and vividness, even with his simple songs about losing relationships like "Letter to Hermione."

A favorite track remains "Memory of a Free Festival," which is also one of the most unusual tunes. Parts of it reminisce with the Beatles, part of it with Dylan, and part of it with something that's hard to place. It ends with a beautiful, mysterious lyric, The sun machine is coming down, and we're gonna have a party. That, pertaining to a music festival, should drive the mind wild.

It's a kinked chapter in the Bowie timeline, and one that is a highlight of his long career.

Space Oddity 5:14 Unwashed and Somewhat Slightly Dazed 6:10 Don't Sit Down 0:39 Letter to Hermione 2:30 Cygnet Committee 9:30 Janine 3:19 An Occasional Dream 2:56 Wild Eyed Boy From Freecloud 4:47 God Knows I'm Good 3:16 Memory of a Free Festival 7:07
