I play all my records from beginning to end prior to auction on my Garrard 401 record player using a Shure V15 cartridge. 
Here I have a copy of the ' David Bowie ' 1972 release  ' The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars '.
The record is a first issue UK stereo pressing on the orange RCA Victor labels.
 Cat no   The matrix -1E  -1E

Grading :
I've played both sides of the record. Visually the  record is glossy under light and exhibits only light marks and scuffs either side. The record produces a beautiful crisp sound with hardly any cackle  during quiet moments and maybe a couple pops or clicks either side. The record labels are lovely and clean with no writing etc. I grade this EX.
The cover is in VG+ condition. Despite it's fragile nature, the cover shows only minor signs of the ringwear to the front and tiny areas of wear to the extremities.  The spine is fully legible and the cover lies flat. Please see the photo's.
Also included is the original lyric sheet which is still quite white and just has mild creasing.
If your the winning bidder could you please wait for invoice since the final price may mean I need to charge added postage. If your bidding from outside the UK I will only post via Track and signed methods.
I'm selling lots more lps over the coming months from artists like Jimi Hendrix , The Beatles , Cream , The Rolling Stones,  The Who , The Yardbirds , The Small Faces , Van Morrison , The Grateful Dead , Jefferson Airplane , Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention ,  Fleetwood Mac , Led Zeppelin ,  Deep Purple ,  Black Sabbath ,  Oasis ,  Nirvana , Blur ,  etc plus lots of rare one-off lps.
