David Bowie - The Rise & Fall Of Ziggy Stardust (UK Vinyl LP - 2E/2E Pressing) 

Early U.K. pressing with printed lyric inner sleeve and 2E/2E matrices. There is no Mainman logo on the back of the sleeve. The labels have the Mainman/ Chrysalis publishing credits.

The Vinyl is in Very Good+ condition. Glossy vinyl with great audio. There are some light surface marks but the vinyl plays as excellent with some light crackles during some of the quieter passages of music.

The sleeve is in Very Good condition. Clear, legible spine text and just some light scuffs on the top and bottom edges. There is a sticker mark on the top right of the front cover and a name written in blue pen near the top left edge (see photo)

The printed lyric inner sleeve is in Very Good condition. There are no seam splits although there is a tiny hole on the centre of the bottom edge. 

Both labels are clean and unmarked with no writing.

Released in 1972 on RCA Victor Records Cat: SF 8287 (LSP 4702) Matrix numbers: BGBS 0864-2E / BGBS 0865-2E.

ALL THE ALBUMS I SELL ARE VERY SECURELY PACKAGED WITH AT LEAST TWO STIFFENERS AND NEW PLASTIC SLEEVES. I ALWAYS PLACE THE RECORD OUTSIDE THE OUTER SLEEVE TO ENSURE THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO THE SLEEVE IN TRANSIT. I ONLY USE THE HIGHEST GRADE PACKAGING TO ENSURE THE RECORDS ARRIVE IN THE CONDITION I STATE IN MY LISTINGS.

Grading

I grade all my records using the Record Collector's Grading System which is as follows:

Mint - 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 - The record shows 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 - The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

Good - 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 - 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 - The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
