DAVID BOWIE
THE MAN WHO SOLD THE WORLD.
1971 AUSTRALIAN ORIGINAL
ON MERCURY RECORDS
RED LABEL.
RARE .
As you can see this is the ULTRA RARE AUSTRALIAN version of BOWIE`s
1971 ROCK MASTERPIECE THE MAN WHO SOLD THE WORLD.
Let me try to put the term ULTRA RARE into a better perspective for you .
The UK version of this LP is seriously rare but this is out there. In terms
or rarety this Aussie Dress Cover is in a league of its own . For every 200
UK dress/drag covers you see , you will see only 1 of these. Ask yourself
when was the last time you saw one ? HAVE YOU EVER SEEN ONE ?
It is that rare ! When i collected All the Bowie rare LPs the 67 debut ,
the second LP the the Dress cover , i then moved to collecting each rare
LP from every country it was ever released in. This type of collecting is
known as being A COMPLETEST COLLECTOR . Completest`s collectors
are considered to be a lot more serious. THIS IS ONE FOR THE COMPLETEST.
I would agree that it lacks the appeal that the UK stock issue has, but why should
it ? LOOK AT IT.
Believe me when i tell you , THIS IS IN AMAZING CONDITION.
I have owned 6 of these over the years and only seen about 10 in my life.
This is by far the best of them all . This sleeve is even more delicate than
the UK version. The sleeve itself is very thin so prone to ring ware visible
in the shots. As these Aussie dress covers go this is exceptionally good.
The back has very little ring ware and there is edge ware but no rips or tares
and for this sleeve that is rare ! It is textured just like the UK version but much
more lightly textured . You can read the writing ion the spine but it is faded that said,
its the BEST SLEEVE I HAVE SEEN.
I am not going to grade the sleeve it is exactly as you see it. In norman grading
i would grade this sleeve as VG. But that would be unfair to compare this
ultra Delicate Australian Sleeve to any other sleeve. Compared to the other
9 Australian dress covers I have seen, this sleeve is near mint.
The Record itself is in Excellent condition . A few wispy hairlines but it
plays magnificently . TAKE A LOOK AT THOSE BEAUTIFUL MERCURY
RED LABELS.... JEE, ZUSS. Ar`nt they FABULOUS . MERCURY in WHITE
on a that lovely red background with all the other writings in black. I have
treasured this for many years and it going to be another that it is going to hurt
to let go. The reason for this is simple.
I KNOW EXACTLY HOW DIFFICULT THIS LP IS TO FIND.
This is one of those really rare records that is yet to achieve its full potential.
Another is the German Round cover of the same name. Just like the round
cover This Australian THE MAN WHO SOLD THE WORLD is EXCRUCIATINGLY
RARE . One day this too will be worth a value that reflects it true rarity .
