I have two Bowie Factory Sample LP's up for auction this week. Both starting at 0.99p and with no reserve.
DAVID BOWIE - ALADDIN SANE
ORIGINAL 1973 UK 1st PRESS
ONE OF THE VERY FIRST TO ROLL OUT THE PRESSING PLANT.
A SERIOUSLY RARE OPPORTUNITY TO GRAB A TOP FLIGHT DAVID BOWIE RARITY!
ONLY TEST PRESSINGS WOULD PRECEDE THE "FACTORY SAMPLES" SO YOU CAN BE SURE THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE VERY FIRST OUT THE FACTORY DOOR.
I have never seen another Aladdin Sane "Factory Sample" come up for sale, seen another one in a collection, shop, record fair or even heard of another one existing. I'm sure there is a couple out there somewhere but this is a seriously rare item indeed.
Not only that but it's the UK 1st press with 3T/3T matrix stamps and the fan club insert.
How often do these come up for sale? When have you seen another?
Exactly.
The vinyl plays through in EX+ condition with no issues, at all. There is one hairline visible on the A-Side but with no major affect to play. Still retains a nice sheen/gloss to the vinyl both sides.
The sleeve is EX. There is a name and address written on the back top right corner (as shown in pics) but it's small and in faint black biro, it's not overly noticeable and if this wasn't there it would be a close NM. Still, the overall condition is stunning. Thick gatefold non laminated cardboard looks and feels beautiful. A small nick to the back cover along opening edge, again barely noticeable. A solid spine, straight and all text is clearly visible with no crushing or damage. Straight edges. Gatefold opens/closes perfectly. Once opened it's like new. Bright white and vibrant colours all over.
Inner picture/lyric sleeve is EX+ with no splits or rips. Just minor edge/corner wear.
Fan club insert is also included. Very rare to still have this included, usually always thrown away deemed surplus to requirement or filled out and sent off. The insert has been filled out but I guess the owner never got round to sending it off but it's still in fantastic condition with no rips or splits.
