Description

A Genuine 1974 UK First Pressing with "Oly" Matrix
Up for sale is an original UK first issue of David Bowie's 1974 masterpiece, Diamond Dogs. This is the definitive "oly" cut, mastered at Olympic Studios for the best possible analog sound.

The Collector Details:
• Catalogue Number: APL1-0576
• Matrix / Runout: Hand-etched ARL1-0576A-1oly and ARL1-0576B-1oly.
• Labels: Original iconic Orange RCA Victor labels.
• Identifying Mark: Includes "Bewitched" listed on the Side A label (a hallmark of the first press).
• Sleeve: Original gatefold sleeve printed by "Interpak by Shorewood."

Condition & Playback Report:
• Vinyl Grade: VG (Very Good). There are numerous visual surface scratches and paper scuffs visible under a strong light.
• Playback Performance: Despite the visual marks, the record plays through very well. There is some light surface noise in the quietest passages, but no skips, jumps, or loud "clicks" that overpower the music. It is a fantastic "player's copy" of this rare first press.
• Sleeve: The gatefold is solid with some typical shelf wear and aging to the edges.

Why buy this copy?
Original "oly" first pressings are becoming increasingly hard to find. This is the perfect choice for a fan who wants the heavy, punchy sound of the original 1974 masters at an affordable price point.
