Thank you for looking at my listing.  All items for sale are from my personal collection, I am not a dealer.  Many items are unopened or only played a few times as I seem to have bought far more than I can ever listen to.  I use the Record Collector guide for grading LP's, however, I know grading can be subjective so if you disagree with the grading of any item you buy please contact me to resolve the matter.

Artist: David Bowie 

Title: Heroes

Matrix: A3E /B5E

Grading LP: VG+  Light surface noise from having been played but a well cared for record.  The run off groove on Side 2 has the words 'Dave's RCA'

Grading Cover: EX+   Laminated sleeve still in shrinkwrap.  There is a price sticker on the front showing a date of 18/1/78, a value of £2.99, and 'Virgin Records'.  The only sign of wear on the cover is very light use in the bottom right of the bottom seam where the shrinkwrap has shrunk by about 0.5".  Price code ZZ on the back sleeve, top right corner.

Grading insert: EX  Lyric insert with very light creases.

Inner sleeve:  I assume the inner sleeve is the original as it has 'Made in England R.S. 11-77' in the bottom corner.  The reverse side has reference to RCA Limited which suggests it is the original. 

Label: RCA

Country/Region of manufacture: England
