David Bowie LP Ziggy Stardust UK 1972 RCA SF8287 6E 4E Ex/Ex
This is the mastering that many audiophiles consider the best. Even surpassing the first 1E/1E cutting.
Vinyl EX Sleeve EX
The sleeve is in nice condition, the inner has a bit of wear and a number written in the top right corner. The record will be sent in a new poly-lined sleeve.
The vinyl is in excellent condition. There are a few very fine marks. Playback is excellent. The labels are in excellent condition. The tram line marks on the labels (more prominent on side 2) are quite common on UK RCA pressings of the time. I have seen similar marks countless times, I can only guess that they must have been made during the manufacturing process.

Please check the photos carefully before buying.

MINT (M) : The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover is in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

NEAR MINT (N/M):The record appears new but is known to have been played . The cover and /or labels are near perfect

EXCELLENT (EX) : The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing. The labels may have light spindle marks

VERY GOOD(VG): The record has obviously been played many times, with several scratches visible under a strong light, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable
