David Bowie Hunky Dory First pressing from 1971, a lot harder to find than the other copies.
Deleted a few months after it's December 1971 release due to poor sales, but as the world woke up to David/Ziggy, Hunky Dory was re-released in late 1972.
This is the original release
No mention anywhere of The Mainman organisation.
1st press shiny labels
1st press 3T/3T Matrixes.
1st press Rasputin and Bobil run off etchings.
Also A1-A and A2-A etchings.

The sleeve itself is in fantastic condition, all 4 corners are perfect
Non laminate sleeve
There is no writing, marks on the sleeve.
Sleeve is clean and the card is still rigid and not worn out
No selotape or glue holding it together as I've seen on plenty of others.
Slight bit of ring wear noticeable at top and a small bit of wear, doesn't take away from the sleeve quality.
The spine is perfect.
The lyric insert is, well, it's like brand new, it's perfect absolutely perfect.
Now to the vinyl itself, the shiny labels have next to no wear the vinyl itself has been well played and does have a few marks and scratches, it's not in the same class as the sleeve. Would benefit from a deep clean but still has great gloss
However I gave it a last play on my old Dual today and it never skipped, stuck or missed a beat, it sounds totally magic.
Quite a bit of clicks and surface noise on the quiter tracks, but it still sounded superb.
It's a big heavy chunk of vinyl, 150g possibly and it stood up well over the 40 odd years.
Album will be sent in a professional mailer, first class signed for.
Any questions please ask
