Description
David Bowie
The Rise And Fall of Ziggy Stardust
UK 1st Press
Born in 1972, what an album to come from Ziggy Stardust himself.
This copy is a 1st pressing/Issue from the UK; identified by the following:
Titanic Music credits to both labels.
A Gem Production to the back top right corner of the sleeve.
A lyric Inner.
Victor under RCA not International.
Glossy Orange record label.
Catalogue Number: SF 8287
Matrix:
BGBS 0864-1E
BGBS 0865-2E
The Vinyl:
VG+
I gave her a gentle vaccum clean, followed by an little ultrasonic bath-which was then followed by a final suck on the vaccum record cleaner...I then popped her onto my deck and, as stated on the back: 'PLAYED AT MAXIMUM VOLUME'
I wasn't disappointed at all.
NO jumps, skips or sticks.
There are just very light marks to the vinyl, which provide some occasional soft background noise, but nothing offensive what-so-ever. I did notice a revolutionary bit of crackle on Starman-but it had gone once the track reached its quieter section :)
'It Ain't Easy' blasts out with utter clarity-GORGEOUS!
There is a pop right at the start of track 1, side 2, but i didn't notice a skip and it only happenes once. I also noticed some pops at the end of Star.
Please listen to the clip provided and you will hear the quiet run-ins and superb dynamic of the audio produced.
Wonderfully clean and clear highs, with deep bassy lows...Just the occasional light and soft pop-I am being very critical.
The Labels:
EX+
1st Press labels with the Titanic credits to each side.
Very little wear to them-as can be seen in the detailed images included in this listing.
The Cover:
VG+.
Once again; a 1st Press cover here, with the Gem Production statement to the back top right corner.
NO WRITING
Tiny 1cm tear to the opening.
Just some light shelf storage wear with some very light edge & corner rubbing.
Would display very well indeed.
The Inner:
VG.
It is THE ORIGINAL LYRIC INNER...Quite rare to find now.
It has the Gem Production and Titanic Music credits to one side.
Unusually it has catalogue number of LSP-4702 to one side.
There is a split to the bottom seam-which would not be obvious if it were framed.
With a bit of feathering to the opening-again: I am being rather critical.
SO FOLKS-GRAB THIS BABY WHILST YOU CAN-ALL ORIGINAL AND STILL SOUNDS AS GROUNDBREAKING NOW AS IT DID BACK IN '72.
ALL COMPLETE.
STILL PROVIDES SUPERB AUDIO TOO.
