David Bowie – Young Americans – Prog Rock-Soul Vinyl LP - OG

$

30

David Bowie has always been one of my favorite artists. I always found him to be one of those dynamic and incredibly creative performers that always gave me something new to think about and enjoy.  This was his ninth album and arguably the most soulful collection he ever recorded.  It also returned him to the top of the charts with a couple of hit singles and enormous commercial success overall.  It really is an outstanding album. The album was released on RCA Victor in 1975, number APL1-0998.  This is the original release of the album. The vinyl is in beautiful condition with its bright original luster and just a couple of very light paper scuffs that barely impact play.  It plays with almost no background noise.  The vinyl grades VG+. The album cover shows light ring wear and some corner and edge wear including a two inch split in the middle of the top seam. The other seams show wear but are tight, sharp, and intact. The word ‘Goodwill’ is stamped twice on the front. The custom inner sleeve with lyrics is included and shows significant wear. A generic inner sleeve will be included. The cover grades VG.

Grading Information

I use four grades in my grading:  NM, VG+, VG, and G.  The only exception is a sealed album which is presumed to have vinyl in mint condition. My NM grading means that the vinyl looks and plays as though it is the first time out of the sleeve. The VG+ rating is used on any album that plays great but has one or two small defects.  It may have a pop here and there or some occasional background static. On a VG album you can expect that, typically, this album will play great, but you’ll see more defects on this than your VG+ rated album.  Most often the VG rated album may even play well enough to be graded VG+, but the color or blemishes drop the grading.  Likewise, you may occasionally find an album that looks almost NM but the sound quality just isn’t there. That’s why I play every album first, because this does happen.  In this case the vinyl will be graded VG.  Occasionally I will list an album with a grade of G. This is one where I consider the collectible value of the album to be great enough that the copy being presented is worth having as a filler copy.

Shipping Information – Combined Shipping

Canada shipping is calculated based on weight using US Postal Service rates.  Combined shipping is also welcomed here and does result in significant per-album cost savings. The first album will typically cost approximately $24. Additional albums will be shipped for $6 per album, with up to four pounds able to be shipped before we need to use International Priority shipping. At that point we will work together on final determination of shipping cost.

Shipments to outside the US and Canada will vary depending on your country. Typically the cost per album will be no more than $30.  Combined shipping is welcome here as well, at a cost of $10 per additional album up to the maximum of four pounds.

All albums will be shipped in specially designed album hard cardboard mailers with a cardboard insert to prevent damage upon opening.  The vinyl is removed from the cover and presented in a new poly sleeve.  I am committed to one day turnaround on shipments.  If I receive payment before 7:00 AM Central Time I will package and ship that same day.
