This is the original; It has Stamped, NOT etched matrices,  The space between the speech bubble and the lyrics on the back is small (Wider on the counterfeits) and on the copies there is a few seconds missing from 'All The Madmen', here it is all still there, A Very Scarce David Bowie Pressing!!
 

Vinyl :- VG+ condition;    Some light surface noise, a few light pops, One light scratch audible on Side 1 track 2,
 Sleeve :- VG condition; Some surface wear on the front and back, 'Speech' bubble on front has correction fluid on, probably covering some graffiti (it was originally blank), but has been done very smoothly, top spine has some wear and has split at each end, Bottom spine has some wear and staining, N.B:  As this is a US pressing the sleeve is a thicker cardboard with paper pasted over the top,

Condition Grading Guide: 
MINT: (M) The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. New, sealed or unplayed records would be MINT.
NEAR MINT: (NM) Just below MINT. The record has been played, but it sounds brand new, only a hint of surface noise. The cover looks new, perhaps a slight dent to a corner, or smallest surface mark,
EXCELLENT: (EX) The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover might have slight wear and/or creasing.
VERY GOOD: (VG) The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch, Normal wear and tear on the cover, without any major defects, is acceptable. 
GOOD: (G) The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover suffers from folding, Scuffed edges, spine splits, discolouration etc.
FAIR: (F) The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover will be torn, stained and/or defaced.
POOR: (P) The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover will be badly damaged or partly missing.
BAD: (B) The record is unplayable or may even be broken and is only used as a collection filler.
These grades may have a + (or occasionally -) added if I feel the record is in between the grades and I always add specific description to each record, as every record (and pressing) is different.
I never list any record below GOOD (G) and usually only list GOOD records if they are particularly rare or interesting.
