Description

David Bowie Hunky Dory LP UK 1971

No Mainman reference anywhere on this copy signifying that it is a 1971 first run  release


Very very early 1971 release of Hunky Dory with the early heavy deep grooved vinyl.

This version has 2E A2A etched side 1 and 3T on the runout groove with RASPUTIN etched on side 2

I've included a pic of the Discogs entry for this particular copy.

As I said it's as early a pressing as you can get unless you fancy paying 10 times the price for a Laminated copy.. No?..me neither!!


I've had them all and it's clear to me that the original 1971 releases sound far superior and they are built to last, big heavy slab of vinyl that lasts so well,  this copy is one of them, I have included the Discogs entry for your information.


. It's in superb condition and as I said earlier sounds different class, I test play all my vinyl on my Project Essential deck, there are a few bits of static and surface noise but absolutely NO annoying jumps or sticks.. Tremendous sound.

Vinyl is nice and glossy with near perfect labels

There are very few noticeable marks on this record at all.. Really clean looking, great sheen there is a bit of static surface noise noticeable on the quieter parts

It's a great playback, I know a good one when I hear it.


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 straightforward decision, it's a cracker!!!

The original inner lyric sheet is in EXCEPTIONAL near Mint condition. Very clean Timewarp condition one of the best I've sold

The album cover is also in very good condition

Hunky Dory covers are difficult to find in mint condition, this copy is in above average condition and does have a bit of wear BUT the spine is still in fine condition. The rear of the cover is very nice indeed, very clean and still nice and white


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


I've priced it VERY competitively. Look at the others available for far far more.. Are they better than mine?..

What you get is one of "thee" best audio versions of this iconic Bowie album


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 a good 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
