Up for auction is a very nice original pressing of the David Bowie album Diamond Dogs, originally released in the U.S. on RCA/Victor (CPL1-0576) in 1974:
-Guaranteed original 1st pressing, not reissue -Original and correct orange RCA "dynaflex" labels -Original gatefold cover
-STERLING mastering stamp in deadwax -NOT record club pressing -NO UPC/bar code on cover
-Vinyl comes in poly audiophile protective inner sleeve
Note:
Original U.S. pressings of Diamond Dogs have the CPL1-0576 catalog number and the STERLING mastering stamp--most copies sold as "original" on ebay do not have these attributes--they are reissues.

Condition: Cover looks very nice, with only very light signs of wear or handling.  No significant ring wear on front or back.  Front show some mild rubbing top and bottom middle (see photo), but still has nice shine.  Back is nice and clean.  Corners are sharp, not bumped, light rub.  Seams are nice, intact, no splits, no wear.  Very attractive, colorful original cover. Grade: Excellent (EX), better than most VG+ copies
Vinyl also looks very nice, still has its original shine.  Both sides look very clean, but under a strong light, a few faint superficial hairlines show up probably from taking the vinyl out of paper inner sleeve a few times, but they don't affect the quality of playback which is excellent overall.  Very nice sound quality for an original pressing!  No marks around spindle holes.  Looks like this record has maybe been played only a couple times previously but handled with care. Grade: Excellent (EX)


Combined Shipping:
Yes, I offer significant combined shipping discounts.  Just ask!

International Shipping:
Because of unreliable postal services, buyers in France and Italy must pay for Expedited international shipping, which includes tracking and insurance.  I've had too many records lost or damaged shipping to these countries.  Also, I do not ship to Central or South America, or China.
How I Pack Your Records:
I remove the records with inner sleeves from the covers prior to packing.  I sandwich the record between two pieces of cardboard for padding and protection.  I also reinforce the corners of the shipping box to protect the corners of the record jacket from damage.
