The vinyl retains excellent deep lustrous sheen - examined under a bright light there are some visible marks, predominantly fine hairlines and sleeve removal marks and just a few other more noticeable marks but actually very little to affect sound quality.  Playback is EXCELLENT PLUS - plays really well with great audio and really very little noticeable surface noise - top copy !
A superb quality FIRST PRESS copy of this classic BOWIE Lp...       
The ORANGE RCA VICTOR  record labels are graded EXCELLENT with little visible spindle wear.
Comes with the ORIGINAL SEPIA PRINTED LYRIC INSERT - EXCELLENT MINUS with some slight age discolouration and minor creasing and two noticeable creases bottom left and bottom right.
The quality card PICTURE sleeve printed by ROBERT STACE is a strong EXCELLENT maybe even excellent plus as has very little overall wear at all - couple of very minor 'creases' on the spine and the faintest touch of ringwear to the front top but otherwise perfect and with a strong unsquashed 100% legible spine - all in all a really great copy ! 

SHIPPING All Lps are packed carefully and shipped using purpose made new corrugated card RECORD MAILERS ( not thin card, single sleeve 'envelopes' etc ) and we take care to make sure that the vinyl and inner sleeve are removed from the outer sleeve to prevent seam splits during transit.
