Description
This sale is for a UK First Issue David Bowie album "Aladdin Sane", complete with inner lyrics sleeve and gatefold sleeve.
I'm not an expert on matrix numbers, and any information I mention in this listing relating to first pressings or first issue etc. is gained mainly from searching the internet, and of course knowing how long I've actually owned the LP. Please satisfy yourself that it is UK first issue before purchase by researching the information I give. I always try to give all legible matrix numbers where possible.
The album formed part of my collection in the 1970s, was bought by me, and has only been owned by me. It has never been on loan to anyone else as I did not really trust others to look after my albums as I did, therefore the surface of the vinyl is in exceptionally good visual condition.
I don't like to describe my vinyl albums by use of grading systems or by visual inspection only as I think these methods can sometimes be too varied or convoluted, open to interpretation, and consequently may lead to confusion over the true condition of the album, therefore I prefer to just give my honest opinion of what I have for sale. I always play test my albums from start to finish through good quality headphones, and this is what I base my description on. Close up images of the album and or sleeves have been provided to compliment my description.
LABELS The labels are in good condition, however showing some slight blemishes (see photos).
VINYL The surface of the vinyl looks to be in first class visual condition. There are no jumps, however there are several pops (nothing major), and some occasional slight surface noise on the quieter parts and in between tracks that I would describe as being acceptable for a vinyl album of this age that has not been professionally cleaned.
GATEFOLD SLEEVE The outer sleeve is in good condition for its age with no split edges, and showing very minimal storage wear. There is some glue residue left over from the price sticker in the top right hand corner. As the sleeve is mainly white in colour it does show some colour deterioration due to age.
INNER LYRIC SLEEVE This is in really good condition, showing only very minimal ring wear to the opening edge.
SHIPPING I WILL ONLY SHIP THIS ALBUM TO THE UK. I will ship this album, together with the outer and inner sleeve in a 12" cardboard LP mailer. To further protect the album it will also be inside a new anti static inner sleeve (see footnotes), bubble wrapped and two cardboard stiffeners applied.
Please note, postage cost is based on the actual Royal Mail charge plus £1.50 packaging costs.
PAYMENT I ONLY ACCEPT PAYPAL THANKS. -------------------------- MATRIX NUMBERS PRINTED ON THE DEAD ZONE OF THIS ALBUM ARE AS FOLLOWS:
Side 1 CPRY 4543-3T Side 2 CPRY 4544-3T --------------------------
FOOTNOTES HDPE POLYETHYLENE (POLY-LINED ) sleeves have major advantages over paper inner ones as paper can mark the vinyl, also open center holes allow dust to enter. As for the poly inner itself you need to ensure that its not PVC which is produced with artificial softeners that can leach onto the vinyl. HDPE poly-lined sleeves have no softeners at all and have a melting point of 130c, copes well with high humidity and is stable in most heating conditions.
Thanks for looking and please see my other albums for sale.
