Description
TIME TO LIST SOME MORE OF MY VINYL RECORDS AS I'M UNFORTUNATELY RUNNING OUT OF SPACE IN THE HOUSE.
I HAVE BEEN COLLECTING VINYL RECORDS SINCE 1970 AND HAVE OVER 3,000 LP'S AND SINGLES. ALL HAVE BEEN CAREFULLY PLAYED ON A HIGH END SYSTEM, MOST HAVE BEEN STORED IN PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVES IN RECORD BOXES/MDF ICUBES AWAY FROM ANY HEAT AND IN A SMOKE FREE HOUSE. (NOT IN THE LOFT)
EVERY NOW AND THEN I LIST SOME RECORDS WHICH I HAVE DUPLICATES OF OR RARELY PLAY TO FUND MY BUYING OF OTHER RECORDS.
PLEASE NOTE THAT I FULLY PLAY GRADE ALL MY LISTINGS THROUGH HEADPHONES AND GIVE DETAILED DESCRIPTIONS OF THE VINYL, COVER AND PLAYBACK USING THE RECORD COLLECTORS GUIDE 2014. I NEVER USE MINT CONDITION EXCEPT FOR ON A SEALED BRAND NEW RECORD.
PLEASE BID WITH CONFIDENCE, I HAVE BEEN BUYING AND SELLING RECORDS ON EBAY SINCE 2006 AND HAVE 100% FEEDBACK.
IF BY ANY CHANCE YOU ARE NOT HAPPY WITH MY SERVICE PLEASE CONTACT ME FIRST TO RESOLVE ANY ISSUE AS I DO OFFER A FULL REFUND ONCE THE RECORD IS RETURNED TO ME SAFELY IF YOU ARE NOT HAPPY.
ANYWAY, HERE WE HAVE A SUPERB EXCELLENT PLUS TOP COPY OF BOWIE'S CLASSIC 'ALADDIN SANE' 1973 UK VINYL LP. THIS IS A SUPERB COPY, PLAYED CAREFULLY JUST A FEW TIMES THEN STORED TILL NOW :
DAVID BOWIE, 'ALADDIN SANE' 1973 UK VINYL LP A 1973 DYNAFLEX CANADIAN VINYL PRESSING ON THE RCA RECORDS ORANGE LABEL, RS 1001 (LSP 4852) WITH A UK FIRST ISSUE INTERPAK GATE FOLD SLEEVE AND THICK CARD INNER. IN PLAYED JUST A FEW TIMES EXCELLENT TOP AUDIO CONDITION WITH A NEAR EXCELLENT CONDITION MATT SURFACE GATE FOLD SLEEVE PRINTED IN ENGLAND BY SHOREWOOD PACKAGING CO. LTD, SLOUGH. STORED AFTER JUST A FEW PLAYS, THIS IS A SUPERB COPY WHICH SOUNDS FANTASTIC. ONLY SELLING AS I HAVE A NEAR MINT FIRST PRESSING UK VINYL ISSUE, BUT THIS SOUNDS JUST AS GOOD.
THIS IS A 1973 FIRST PRESSING CANADIAN DYNAFLEX ORANGE LABEL VINYL COPY WITH A FIRST PRESSING MADE IN ENGLAND 'INTERPAK' GATE FOLD COVER BY SHOREWOOD PACKAGING CO. LTD. THIS MAY HAVE THE CANADIAN FIRST PRESSING VINYL IN THE UK SLEEVE AS RCA NEEDED TO SATISFY DEMAND FOR COPIES BACK IN 1973, THE UK PRESSING PLANTS STRUGGLED TO KEEP UP PRODUCTION. I HAVE JUST RECENTLY SOLD A USA DYNAFLEX FIRST PRESSING VINYL IN A 'ZIGGY' UK FIRST ISSUE COVER COPY.
(SEE BELOW FROM THE DISCOGS WEBSITE FOR THE VINYL INFO) I THOUGHT THE DYNAFLEX VINYL ISSUES WERE A LATER PRESSING VARIATION WITH VERY THIN VINYL BUT THIS IS DEFINITELY A 1973 CANADIAN FIRST PRESSING WHICH SOUNDS SUPERB.

VINYL PLAYBACK : SUPERB, WITH A LOUD CUT FIRST PRESS BASSY SOUND. THERE IS VIRTUALLY NO CRACKLE, JUST A TINY AMOUNT AT THE QUIET START OF 'TIME' FOR A FEW SECONDS.
