David Bowie "Live Dance" 1983 Rare 2LP Picture Disc Set Unplayed Rare
I obtained this double album set new in 1984. I placed it in a high quality click-seal sleeve and stored it upright. I did not play this album as I had another recording of the performance.
This picture disc release of this particular album does not come up for sale too frequently, and in this case you have the opportunity to purchase an unplayed copy. This two album set has been stored upright and enclosed in an air-tight high quality click-seal plastic sleeve since the set was acquired new. The same images appear on each disc.
Condition of the vinyl: Excellent+/Mint- (Visual Inspection). The vinyl of each disc is glossy, clean and shiny. The discs were not played. It is essentially in the same condition as when I obtained it new over 30 years ago. See the photographs. There are some slight scuff marks on the vinyl and as you can see the manufacturers used cut out versions of the printed cover to create the picture discs. The circular cut outs were not that well crafted by the manufacturers with this particular release. The scuff marks were probably caused by the paper inserts. These faults may have been caused during original packaging and storage of the vinyl. Some manufacturers and distributors of this class of album did not take that much care of the albums so it was not unusual for these types of albums to be in less than pristine condition when your received them. Quality control was not always a major priority.
Condition of the sleeve: Excellent+. The full colour sleeve is in excellent condition. There are no tears, seam splits, writing or major flaws. There are a few minor creases, barely noticeable. The original paper inner sleeves are clean and crisp. One of the paper inner sleeve is die cut, the other is not.
