Description
David Bowie - The Man Who Sold The World
Original UK 1st Pressing 12" LP
Mercury 6338 041
Beware of the counterfeit versions pressed during the late 70's which have lighter colours, dark grey (instead of black) labels, a front cover shot enlarged to the point that Bowie's feet touch the edge of the sleeve & the small mirror on the right is almost invisible. The fakes also didn't have the original's canvas-style effect sleeve
Condition:
Vinyl: Ex+
Sleeve: VG+
Labels: Ex
The vinyl still has a nice sheen & is graded as a strong Ex+ with only a few very light marks, & plays superbly with no skips or jumps. The labels are nice & clean with no writing or ink marks & just some light spindle wear. The sleeve is a very conservative VG+. There is one very small stain (3mm) on the front, a 5mm tear on the opening plus a few minor creases. There is evidence of some storage scuffs to the spine & edges & the text on the spine is slightly faded but perfectly legible. Overall a very nice copy of an iconic record.
Please note that unless you select an insured option, I cannot be held responsible for any loss or damage in transit. However, please be assured that all CD's will be carefully packed & posted out in bubble-wrapped envelopes. All vinyl will be sent out in bespoke mailers with stiffeners, with the record stored separately from the sleeve for added protection.
I work hard to maintain my feedback rating over 5,700 transactions, so please be assured that if you experience any problems, they will be resolved to your complete satisfaction.
Postage Options:
UK Next Day Special Delivery £4.00
Europe Airmail £9.50
Rest of the World Airmail £11.50
Disc, Label & Sleeve ratings below are obviously subjective, but if you have any doubts or questions, please ask before bidding - I will normally respond to all questions within 24 hours. All vinyl is visually rated (unless stated) & therefore unplayed:
WOL - Writing or Ink on Label / WOS - Writing or Ink on Sleeve / TOS - Tape or Sticker / Glue Marks on Sleeve / Label (TOL)
Mint - CD, Record or sleeve in brand new condition with no marks
Excellent - Record shows some signs of having been played. Vinyl or CD may have very light scratches or markings. Cover & packaging might have slight wear &/or creasing / minor seam damage. CD inserts may have dents from jewel case studs etc
Very Good - Record has obviously been played many times with noticeable surface marks. Cover & packaging may have more obvious defects / damage such as seam splits / heavy creases etc.
