David Bowie Hunky Dory LP UK 1st Press **Bobil/Rasputin** SUPER AUDIO! [Ex+/Ex-].
This is a top copy of Hunky Dory, one of the best I've had and I've had plenty
Please don't confuse this copy with the many others for sale, it would grace any record collection AND it plays and sound amazing
This is the most desirable version of Hunky Dory after the mega expensive and rare Laminated Cover copy
Etched matrix numbers in the runout groove
Matrix 3T/3T. Etchings "Bobil/Rasputin" - this is indicative of very earliest pressing. Yes, it has the early Titanic publishing credit - but it's those etchings that identify the very earliest copies. The earliest copies have lovely shiny labels and are pressed really heavy [so, more than one reason to go for them].
This particular copy sounds AMAZING, honestly it's a beauty, hard to find better!
I test play all my vinyl on my Project Essential deck and it plays and sounds fantastic, no sticks or jumps and most impressive of all there is little or no surface noise, its almost silent between tracks.
The Vinyl is lovely and clean with a great gloss, under strong light it has a few light feathers from sleeve removal, impressive indeed when you take it out of the sleeve. Looks amazing
No nasty significant marks
Amazing condition for 50 years old!
The original inner lyric sheet is in good condition if a little frayed and creased
Also comes with the ORIGINAL paper inner sleeve..
The album cover is also in excellent condition
Hunky Dory covers do not age well, they are 50 years old after all but this cover is strong rigid and sturdy with perfect seams!
It has a few buffs and creases but it's still very very presentable
This cover is MILES better than the majority of others for sale
The Spine is very good and EASILY readable
The rear of the cover is also in great condition and is very clean, most importantly it's still nice and white and hasn't got discoloured and dirty like most others.
Please study the pics to make your own mind up
This copy has been really well cared for..
Sorry for the long winded description but I feel it's important to get as much detail as possible for anyone interested.
I wouldn't buy an album with a 3 line description. Maybe works for some folk. But not me.
In short!!...if you want a copy of Hunky Dory with superb condition vinyl then this one is hard to beat..
Thanks for looking
Record will be sent by Royal Mail signed for

Cheers
