Description
DAVID BOWIE - ALADDIN SANE
This is one of three Bowie LPs I'm listing at the same time. Anyone who bids and wins more than one of them will have all UK postage charges refunded
I have visually checked this LP very carefully under two different lights, as I know it's an important one to some, and have honestly listed it as NM as I can find no obvious marks at all.
The gatefold cover is nearly NM, just a couple of very slight marks if you look closely. The corners and edges are excellent as is the colour and firmness. The inner lyric sleeve also has excellent colour and firmness just some slight wear to edge.

PLEASE NOTE: This record is part of a collection that was looked after extremely well and rarely played. All records were stored in their inner and outer sleeves as well as a plastic slipcover and kept in record boxes in a pet free, smoke-free home.
Unfortunately I have no suitable equipment to play-test these records so be aware all gradings are visual.
As record grading can be very subjective the record you receive may be one grade up or down from my listing, but I will always list as honestly as possible.
Records will be sent in Pizza Boxes for extra protection
GRADING (Visual only, based on Goldmine)
Near Mint (NM or M-)
The record should show no obvious signs of wear and will be glossy/shiny. A sleeve should have no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling. No cracks, scratches or warps.
Excellent (EX or VG++)
One or two light marks visible on the disc at most, otherwise full gloss. No cracks, scratches or warps. Sleeve shows 1-2 marks, nothing too major, maybe at the edges.
Very Good Plus (VG+)
A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled.
Record surfaces may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Maybe also slight warps that do not affect the sound.
Sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly bent corners, or a slight seam split.
Very Good (VG)
Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during the intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound.
Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers.
Good (G), Good Plus (G+)
A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise, scratches and groove wear. Tape, writing, seam splits, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object.
