In this auction: ·       “HUNKY DORY” LP by David Bowie ·        This is RCA Victor LSP 4623. ·       This LP was originally released in 1972 with black RCA labels. ·       This is the SECOND PRESSING with tan labels released probably in 1975. ·       This has always been my favorite Bowie LP going back to my first year in college in 1972, because the LP contains what I think are some of Bowie’s best tunes like “Changes”, “Oh! You Pretty Thing”, “Life On Mars”, “Kooks”, “Fill Your Heart”, “Andy Warhol”, and “Song For Bob Dylan”. (Please refer to the images of the labels and rear cover for the complete listing of tracks.) ·       The COVER is in VERY STRONG VG+ CONDITION and is in its ORIGINAL SHRINK WRAP. (Only very light wear at the top and bottom right corners at the opening where the shrink wrap has receded keep me from grading the cover Near Mint.) There is a 7-inch diagonal split in the shrink wrap near the top on the rear. There is a “Korvettes” store sticker on the front shrink wrap. ·       This LP has a STICKER on the shrink wrap at the top left corner with the LP catalog number and “DAVID BOWIE HUNKY DORY” printed on it. (I read once that this sticker was added to second pressings to help identify David Bowie as the recording artist and provide the LP title, since the artist and title are only printed on the spine. ·       The VINYL is in BEAUTIFUL NEAR MINT CONDITION.

·       This LP also comes with its ORIGINAL CUSTOM PAPER INNER SLEEVE that contains the song lyrics and credits. It has NO splits.

·       From the excellent condition of the cover, the vinyl and the custom inner sleeve, you can conclude that this LP has been minimally played and well-cared for over the years.
