An original 1st press of Heroes on the UK RCA label. At 1st issue many copies were pressed in Italy for the UK market - with a tan coloured label. This orange RCA label is UK pressed and is more difficult to track down. Matrix 3E/5E. Etching 'Dave's RCA'. The vinyl comes housed in an original cover with the original lyric insert present. We also have the original RCA inner sleeve too. So, 100% genuine and 100% complete.
Vinyl (Ex/Vg+) In lovely condition with only minimal signs of use. Under close inspection there's nothing more than a couple of light marks - nothing remotely troublesome. A thorough testing from beginning to end reveals a mostly EXCELLENT level of playback with a couple of deviations. Intros and inbetweens are really nice and quiet and the audio comes across with superb clarity. Those fussy ambient tracks on side 2 play good too. 'Sense of Doubt' & 'Moss Garden' , as is almost unavoidable, play with just some light background static in places. Nothing invasive they just won't sound quite as clean as the rest of the LP. Then there's one slight deviation in the closing seconds of V2-Scheider..I'm picking up a couple of ticks literally as the audio fades [no big deal]. Overall a great original 1st Press which shows off Bowie's late 70's masterpiece to full effect.
Cover (Ex-) A lovely looking cover which might grade a touch higher, but for light ageing exhibiting. Front and back are very nice and flat with just a couple of creases either side. Edge wear is very slight and the openings are still sharp. The spine is 100% intact. Overall the cover retains excellent rigidity. It really is a superb looking specimen.
Lyric Sheet (Ex+) Faultless..
Inner (Ex) Very little ageing at all. No splits.


Any purchase is guaranteed to get to you quickly, safely, and with total satisfaction, or your money back.
