********************************** David Bowie "Live At The Santa Monica Civic Auditorium" 2LP album ~ Trade Mark Of Quality (1847A/B & 2810 C/D)(Original issue)
This is the original issue of this double album set. The sleeve insert has no numbering associated with the logo and the image on the insert is printed in shades of grey and not a flat colour. The labels feature the famous pig and the matrix numbers of the vinyl albums are 1847A/B and 2810C/D.
I picked this album up in a second hand record store. I suggest that the successful winner of this auction matches the original insert and the vinyl discs with a new strong cardboard sleeve.
Condition of the vinyl: Very Good-. The black vinyl is in very good condition for an album of this type and with an age of 41 years. The vinyl has usage marks, hairlines, scuff marks and signed of use and age. Side 1 in particular shows signs of use. The labels are clean. The vinyl is shiny however it could do with a deep clean. The vinyl records are on the whole quite good for this type of release.
Condition of the sleeve: Good. The original light blue plain cardboard sleeve has major marks and stains around the edges back and front, especially adjacent to the opening. The cardboard sleeve has ring wear on the reverse. The sleeve has a 3 inch split in the top spine upper right. The album sleeve is well aged and perhaps it could be replaced. At some stage the original insert has been taped to the sleeve but the adhesive qualities of the tape are long gone and the sleeve insert is loose. The sleeve insert shows signs of age and tape traces on four edges. It was not unusual for manufacturers and the wholesale distributors of this class of album not to take that much care with the product. They made them and rushed them out the door as quickly as possible.
