DAVID BOWIE  Young Americans  RECORD LP APL1-0998  MINT- SOUND
The record is mostly MINT SOUND for song play. INCREDIBLE, clean sound with a very minimal surface  sound between a couple songs only - having  a visual vinyl grade of (NM/NM+). There is very light wear on the record rings on  both sides, very hard to see but not a bad visual grade. The cover is very nice condition having a (NM/NM+) visual grade.
All records are $4.00 for the 1st record and $1.00 for each additional record when bundling for combined shipping cost, AFTER YOUR ITEM WINS PLEASE PAY WITHIN 48 HRS OF THE CLOSING OF THE ITEM, THANK YOU.
I am a VERY critical sound grader, listening to both sides  with headphones on start to finish to bring you the details  of the sound condition of the vinyl before selling here --Truthfully, I  believe in honesty being the best policy so you're not surprised or  disappointed upon arrival -- the record may be a slight bit linty, I'll point  out where taps are on the description in the black & blue area up above.

Please note: 1975 RCA Indianapolis tan labels are first press. For more  information please read and /or research before changing to repress.

***This submission is for the original release with the beige (or tan) label.  According to a seemingly knowledgeable person on the Steve Hoffman forums,  RCA transitioned from the orange to the tan labels in 1975. "they first turned  up in early 1975, and" were "initially used exclusively by RCA's  Indianapolis, IN factory" ... "Hollywood used orange well into late 1975 - and  only in its last several months of existence (it closed in 1976) did they press in tan."

Visual Condition Grades:

MINT     This record looks like it has just left the manufacturer, with NO flaws what so ever on the surface. It looks as though it had never been handled. No scuffs or scratches, blotches or stains. SEALED or opened.

NM, NM+/M-     This record appears virtually flawless. Very little wear can appear on the vinyl. It will play without any noise over any flaws, if any/clean vinyl.

 EX, EX+    This record will still sound very nice through most of the record, there may be lite surface noise or a random few taps -(no skips there though or constant repeating taps), still sounding very clean through most of the record.

 VG+/EX-    Some scuffs will be on the surface. Scuffs that don't create long surface noise persisting for a long length of time--a bit loved and played harder than EX/NM.

 VG    The record shows wear, surface scuffs. The vinyl still has a great luster, but the flaws will be noticeable to the naked eye, maybe even a blemish under the surface of the vinyl not impacting the sound. If the flaws/blemish don't cause any surface noise, the vinyl can still make the VG+ grade. 

 GOOD     A good record will look very well played, dull. However a Good record should still play. It will have distracting surface noise. Such as crackle that is continuous or some hiss. It will also have some loss of dynamics caused from grooves being worn. It should play without any skips or any obtrusively snaps or repeated clicks, caused by deeper scratches.
