Description

David Bowie Hunky Dory LP UK 1972 2nd release

please see the photo with the release information

Mainman on the sleeve and on vinyl label



Please don't confuse this copy with the many others for sale, it is in totally exceptional condition and has little wear and for a record of this age AND it plays and sounds amazing due to the heavy pressed vinyl only used in the  early releases.

It may sound anal, but the sound quality from the early presses are different class AND the Deep grooved heavy vinyl outlasts the others, totally built to last

This is one of the earliest versions of Hunky Dory to feature Mainman on the rear cover, I have enclosed a picture of the Discogs info page.

*REALLY BEAUTIFUL COPY*

I test play all my vinyl on my Project Essential deck and it plays and sounds fantastic, no sticks or jumps and most impressive of all there is very little surface noise, a few clicks here and there in the quiet parts of the album but overall it's a Beauty so quiet between tracks.


If I don't think a record is good enough, it doesn't get listed it's as simple as that..this particular copy of Hunky Dory was a some straightforward decision, it's a cracker!!!


The Vinyl is lovely and clean with a great gloss, there are a very few non feel able  marks you get with vinyl but there is  NOTHING major to concern you and nothing to affect the playback because it sounds totally superb. The first heavy deep grooved Hunky Dory issues are proper old school vinyl, they outlast and outsound all others, all day long..

My rubbish camera skills don't do the actual vinyl pics any justice.. Hopeless at times.. Sorry

The original inner lyric sheet is in outstanding condition. Very clean as well.

The album cover is also in excellent condition

Hunky Dory covers do not age well, they are 50 years old after all but this cover is strong rigid and sturdy with good seams! It's so clean

The cover has a tiny bit of ring wear but as I say it's MILES better than the majority of others for sale

The Spine is good and EASILY readable

The rear of the cover is also in great condition and is very clean most importantly it's still nice and white and hasn't got too discoloured and dirty like most others.

Has a slight crease of on the left hand at the bottom as you look at it

But as I always say on my listing! Study the pics to decide for yourself as well

This copy has been really well cared for.

I've priced it VERY competitively. Look at the others available for far far more.. Are they better than mine?.. I doubt it, the first pressings are worth the most but this second pressing from 72 is a real beauty and is a bargain compared to others that won't be as good as this

Sorry for the long winded description but I feel it's important to get as much detail as possible for anyone interested.

I wouldn't buy an album with a 3 line description. Maybe works for some folk. But not me.

Don't take a chance on an over described auction sale of Hunky Dory. Buy this one.. I know an excellent Hunky Dory when I see one

Thanks for looking

Record will be sent by Royal Mail signed for

In a proper sturdy record mailer

Any questions please ask..

Cheers
