1970 UK pressing in impossible to find mono.

THE WORLD OF DAVID BOWIE – STUNNING - ORIGINAL 1st Ever UK MONO PRESSING

Original UK PRESS with ultra rare A1 B1 Matrix numbers.

CAT NO:

Mono PA.58

MATRIX NOs. ON RUN-OUT GROOVE

Side 1-ARL 9453-1A

Side 2-ARL 9454-1A

The stereo versions of this with the blue label are ten a penny, but the mono with red label is becoming almost impossible to find in any condition let alone near mint!  The vinyl is absolutely beautiful.  When held up to the brightest light, there are barely any visible marks, even faint ones.  No spindle marks and the labels are vibrant red.  This has not been play tested, but looks as new.  It’s a real beauty.  Museum, archive piece!

The red Decca inner sleeve has no splits and is in fantastic condition especially considering it’s age.  Just light creasing and a slight yellowing, but it’s almost 50 years old!

The laminated sleeve has very faint tiny scratch marks on front and light creases to the laminate.  The spine is fully intact and entirely legible.  The white back has a marginal light stain and very faint ring mark, but all round, this is a really nice example! I have been offered £30 for this LP but as there are watchers I said I would let the auction run first. I have raised the price to cover what I would clear after fees. I will not be relisting this.    

IMPORTANT PLEASE READ: The record shall be sent to the lucky winner very well packaged and correctly stored outside of the sleeve. I ONLY SEND ITEMS REGISTERED!  No exceptions!  Collection for cash is welcomed.  Shipping to UK is £5.80 first class signed for, to the EU is £15 tracked and to the rest of the world is £20 tracked.  If you are not happy with the postage costs then please do NOT bid!  I only use LP boxes that fit 1 or 2 records, so each item won will be sent individually unless you are willing to pay for the extra packaging.  Please bear this in mind before bidding on more than one item.  The postage costs may seem high but I actually make a loss.  Royal Mail has recently increased their prices and Ebay now take 10% of all postage costs in the final fee and Paypal take a further 5%.  This means I am not passing on the cost for packaging or my time queuing in the Post Office. I will not lower the postage price, please do not ask. I try to be as accurate as I can, but unless otherwise stated I have not listened to the LP the whole way through and like all used records there is always a chance there may be sound defects. Please accept this risk before bidding. Returns are only accepted in the unlikely event that the description was incorrect. Any other questions please enquire.

Many thanks for looking.

Please see my 100% positive feedback.  Bid with confidence.
