Description

An original 1st press of Space Oddity on the UK RCA label. Please note the original recording of this title was actually back in '69 on Philips. Given that Bowie was a relative unknown in '69 these copies are now highly sought after. What you have here is the very 1st pressing on RCA as the company made a huge push to get Bowie into the main stream. Matrix 1E/2E. Note the labels mentions the 'Titanic' publishing credits and indicates this copy comes from early 1972. This copy actually predates STARDUST - the title that would finally push Bowie into the big-time Summer '72. The heavy-set vinyl comes housed in an original cover with NO mention of 'Mainman' on the rear - these are the 1st issues. There's also the lyric inner sleeve, but NO poster. We will ship in a poly-lined inner for maximum protection.
Vinyl (Ex/Ex-) In lovely condition and has only seen relatively light use. Under close inspection there are a few light marks per side - but nothing heavy or likely to cause major issue. A thorough testing from beginning to end reveals a mostly EXCELLENT level of playback with just one deviation. Intros and inbetweens are lovely and quiet and the audio comes across with superb clarity. A nice clean player which can do this title maximum justice - that's the ideal. Bowie was already in top form by '69 as is clear from this collection of songs. He just had to wait for the public to catch up! Very little background observable at all, even in the quieter moment - highly impressive. There are FOUR ticks in the intro to 'Space Oddity'. They occur where Bowie is doing the actual count down to ignition! Overall a really clean and impressive player - Highly recommended.
Cover (Vg+) Can often end up looking a bit beleaguered - but this example has survived pretty well. Clean front and back with some thumbnail creases at the opening. A bit of edge wear in places - nothing epic. A bit of wear on the spine and one stress crease. The text is mostly legible - but getting a bit difficult to make out in places. Overall the cover retains verygood rigidity.
Inner (Ex-) Really nice condition with perhaps slight touch of ageing. No splits.
