Description

LP by David Bowie entitled "The Man Who Sold the World" released in 1970 on Mercury (SR-61325). Original US pressing with machine stamped matrix. The cover is M-. The cover just has some mild foxing, otherwise it's nearly perfect. The vinyl is M-.



I use oversized LP mailers with layers of strategically placed bubble wrap to fully protect the cover's corners and edges during transit. Sealed albums are pressure strapped between cardboard flats to clamp down on the vinyl inside and prevent splits.


The grading scale I use is: M-, VG++, VG+, VG, VG-, ...


This album is guaranteed as described or I will gladly provide a full refund including postage costs both ways.


Have a look at my other offerings up for grabs this week for more rare and obscure LPs.


Combine and save on shipping. $7 postage for any number of albums shipped together via Media rate. I'll send a revised invoice for multiple winnings. 


Please contact me with any questions. 


Thanks for looking, good luck with your bids, and enjoy the holidays!

I probably gave this one the benefit of the doubt... The cover is quite nice, but due to the general foxing spots, the cover is closer to VG++. Thanks

The small white spot on the side 1 label is a manufacturing flaw.

On Dec-18-25 at 13:55:27 PST, seller added the following information:

Some of the small foxing spots look black in color in the pics. They are not black. They are all orange in color. My phone cam could not capture their true color. There is NO darkened rubbing on the cover.
