I really enjoyed every second of this rare 1st pressing. There are NO repeat tics, NO distortion, NO sticks or jumps what so ever. This pressing plays with crisp clear audio throughout, with no loss of audio performance what so ever. Truly unbelievable audio experience. I would easily give this a grading of NEAR MINT to MINT condition. It would be nigh on impossible to better!

THE RECORD - Visual Grading

A superb piece of glossy vinyl, and a really thick pressing. Deep clear grooves that can only be found on the original early pressings, this vinyl is as new. On first inspection in strong daylight this vinyl looks completely unmarked and even when inspected under a powerful spot light, it still looks unmarked, with only the faintest of sleeve removal marks, but these are very light and almost imperceptible. This vinyl is stunning and easily graded at NEAR MINT.

THE LABELS

Famous 1st Press RCA labels are in SUPERB Condition, no marks or writing, no spindle wear. A lovely set of labels with NO spindle traces or marks of any sort. These are an immaculate pair of labels! As close to perfect as labels can ever be.
Graded at MINT condition.

THE COVER

The unlaminated pale covers of Aladdin Sane are almost impossible to find in great condition. They are nearly always scuffed and creased to a large extent, if not heavily worn, with dark specs where the colour has been worn off across the flat surfaces.

This great complete 1st press comes with the original unlaminated cover, which is a stunning example. The cover shows barely any handling wear, minimal creasing and corner wear, and has certainly no tears or obvious defects. There is no feathering to the openings, which is very unusual. The cover is square and un flattened and has been has not lost any of its shape.

I would have to grade this at EXCELLENT PLUS

A great all round Complete and Rare example of this EARLY ROCK MASTERPIECE
