Description
David Bowie Hunky Dory LP UK 1st Press SUPER AUDIO!
3E/4E on the runout grooves, both Etched and stamped
This is a great sounding VERY EARLY copy of Hunky Dory, and more importantly its a 1971 copy, which are easily the best sounding and recognised by most as the best audio version of Hunky Dory
No Mainman present anywhere on this copy, signifying that it's one of the first copies.
Yes, it has the early Titanic publishing credit - but it's those etchings that identify the very earliest copies. The earliest copies have lovely shiny labels and sound still today, amazing
Early heavy deep grooved vinyl only available on the very first pressing
2 major benefits, they sound the best and also they last the longest!!
They don't make them like that anymore
This album is over 50 years old, fortunately this one has survived that test of time and still looks great and more crucially SOUNDS great
I test play all my vinyl on my Project Essential deck and it plays and sounds fantastic, NO sticks or jumps as that is the main thing I listen for
There is the odd click , but it sounds fantastic . There is next to no surface noise between tracks, you would struggle nowadays to buy a brand new vinyl album which hasn't got loads if static etc
The Vinyl is lovely and clean with a great gloss, under a VERY strong light it has a few light feathers and non feel able marks that do not cause any STICKS or JUMPS, MOST IMPORTANTLY it sounds really great,
The early 71 releases were pressed on heavy deep grooved vinyl bit is just about bombproof, they really last the test of time
I have graded it as excellent as it plays and sounds fantastic
Check the labels from the pics and as you can see they are in fantastic condition
The album cover is in very good condition. It is very tricky to find a decent Hunky Dory cover as
Hunky Dory covers do not age well, they are 50 years old after all as well, but this still has loads of life left in it, nice strong card with perfect seams..the spine is fine just a little bit flat but still perfectly legible
The rear of the cover is in very good condition
The Inner rare lyric insert is present and is also in very decent condition indeed, almost perfect nice and clean
Please study the pics to make your own mind up, I try to make my pics as clear as possible and ensure that in the case of the cover and inner cover/insert you see them completely, if that makes sense
Great copy of Hunky Dory from it's first year of release 1971 and for over 50 years old it's lasted very well
I've sold loads of Hunky Dory copies, if they are not decent enough I don't list them
" I know a good thing...when I see it"...
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.
Thanks for looking
