David Bowie "Dollars In Drag" ~ 1LP Rare (Early issue, rare rear sleeve insert, lovely vinyl)
I rescued this album from a garage sale. It looked neglected, sad and forlorn... whimpering among the other "middle of the road" albums. When it saw me it wagged its cute tail and I could not help but pick it up and take it home. The cardboard album sleeve, sleeve inserts and the labels are not in great condition however the TAKRL vinyl is immaculate (See the photographs please). The rear insert which features an article from the music press entitled "David Bowie's Make Up Do's and Dont's" is quite rare and only came with the early TAKRL issues of this album.
This loveable old dog needs a new home and some caring affection. I think you are just the right person.
Condition of the vinyl: Excellent+ (Visual Inspection). The vinyl is glossy, clean and shiny. No major flaws. The vinyl had been kept in a poly-lined anti-static inner sleeve. The labels have writing on them. One side has the tracks written in ink. The other label has writing that has faded. The vinyl of this album is from the second pressing of this release. See the photographs.
Condition of the sleeve: Fair/Good. The plain cardboard sleeve is split right across the top. It is stained. This is an original release of these inserts however the vinyl is from the second pressing. The front and back inserts are marked and unfortunately they have been glued to the plain cardboard sleeve. The rear insert is quite rare however. See the photographs.
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.
Tracks: 1984 - Dodo / Sorrow / Everything's Alright
/ Space Oddity / The Supermen / Hang On To Yourself / Man In The Middle / I
Can't Explain / Time / The Jean Genie / I Got You Babe.
