** Rare 1980 green label RCA International release of classic vinyl LP by DAVID BOWIE **

A Very Good condition disc. Some minor visible surface marks, a few light scratches, and a scuff at the beginning of Side 2 (see photos). A couple of small original pressing discolourations in the vinyl (see photo). Quite a few spindle marks.  Original STEREO mixes of both sides. No skips, jumps, sticking, warps, or writing on labels. Excellent clean labels on both sides. Very good sound quality, with occasional minor surface noise - particularly for the first few seconds of Track 1 Side 2, and few clicks on Track 5 Side 1. Tested on a Thorens turntable.

Outer Sleeve in Very Good condition, with some minor general wear, particularly to the corners and edges. No writing anywhere. No major creasing. No seam splits. Some very hard to see small spots on front sleeve, which can only be seen in a certain light. Slight wear to spine, but text still mainly legible. 

Supplied in original plain white inner sleeve, which has no seam splits, but does have some age-related discolouration.

GRADING:

All records are graded using the 'Record Collector' format:

MINT (M): The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

EXCELLENT (EX): The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

VERY GOOD (VG): The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD (G): The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.

FAIR (F): The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.

POOR (P): The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

BAD (B): The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
