Description
IT IS WITH A HEAVY HEART I AM HAVING TO LET SOME OF MY VAST COLLECTION GO.
A RARE CHANCE FOR BOWIE COLLECTORS TO GET YOU HANDS ON THIS GRAIL OF A SINGLE. THIS ONE WAS RELEASED IN THE USA (AND NOT IN THE UK) IN-BETWEEN 'DRIVE IN SATURDAY' AND 'LIFE ON MARS'.
THE SINGLE FAILED TO CHART AND THEREFORE HAS BECOME MUCH SOUGHT AFTER AND VERY HARD TO FIND ESPECIALLY IN THIS PLAYGRADED CONDITION (WITH ORIGINAL COMPANY SLEEVE).
RELEASED IN 1973 ON RCA USA THIS IS THE 'INDIANAPOLIS' STOCK COPY WITH ALL THE CORRECT STAMPERS AND MATRICES.
Note: There has been a LIMITED 2018 re-release in the USA but on Parlophone who now own the back catalogue. Those are hard to get. THIS ORIGINAL IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!
It has survived in gorgeous virtually unmarked condition. The NEAR MINT LABELS have NO Writing, Stickers or Tears (see pics for exact condition)!
The single PLAYGRADES AT EXCELLENT condition and RARELY COMES UP FOR SALE in any country.
The Original USA RCA Company Sleeve grades at EX- with minor age related creasing. The Labels Grade at Near Mint.
This single has been well looked after and comes from a smoke and pet free house.
