David Bowie - Hunky Dory : RCA Victor SF 8244 (1971, UK)
A1 Changes A2 Oh! You Pretty Things A3 Eight Line Poem A4 Life On Mars? A5 Kooks A6 Quicksand B1 Fill Your Heart B2 Andy Warhol B3 Song For Bob Dylan B4 Queen Bitch B5 The Bewlay Brothers
An original (and very early) 1971 UK pressing of this classic Bowie album, with no Mainman credits and the following matrix information:
Side 1: APRS 5947-2E Side 2: APRS 5948-3E
Note: This is a visual grading only, I'm currently unable to playtest any records. I've inspected the record under a bright light and priced it accordingly, hopefully it will be a bargain for someone
Cover The cover is in great shape for it's age, one of the best examples I've seen. There is some storage wear to the edges and some ringwear, but absolutely no splits or tears, and it has an excellent readable spine. The original lyrics sheet is also in great shape, just with some slight creasing and a couple of small stains. See photos
Record Easily the best example I've ever seen visually. I'm loath to ever grade records of this age near mint, but I can't even make out any sleeve removal marks / hairlines. The only blemish at all that I can see is a single small heatbump on side 2 from when the record was pressed, these are fairly common on RCA presses from this era and not audible in my experience. The labels are stunning, with barely any spindle wear at all .... I can only assume from the overall condition that this is a very rarely played copy
Will be posted next working day with tracking information in a quality reinforced cardboard mailer. I'll ship the record outside the cover within an outer poly sleeve. Any questions, please ask.
