Very good original copy of Bowie's Aladdin Sane album. Purchased new, by me, in 1973 and kept in clear plastic protective sleeve for much of that time. I think it is a first pressing but not entirely sure how you can tell - certainly the year and the credits/details of where the song was written etc. appear on the label.
In terms of condition I don't have access to a record player but feel sure it is in very good condition. Under normal light you the vynyl looks excellent. If you angle it under very intensive light you can see only a few very minor surface marks - not what I would call scratches but maybe that is the correct term - likely to be from where the record has been taken in and out of the sleeve.
Other indentifiers:
The inner sleeve states "British patent No. 800513 & 973939" and "Made in England 1172 HMO 48"
Stamped on the runouts is CPRY 4543-3T (side A) and 4544-3T (side B)
Hand etched on the runouts is A2C (side A) and A1 H (side B)
