   Complete with inner lyric sheet : Excellent Condition

 Record: In EXCELLENT Plus overall condition . It plays perfectly crisp and clear throughout with just the occasional very light bit of background noise, this being only static in a few isolated places . . . Given the very quiet nature of both sides of the record, it really does look , play and sound superb . The audio tones are still awesome . Even from new , this would have had a little light noise in places. I have yet to hear a totally free from noise/hiss quiet record , even from new,  i think you will agree with that statement . There are no jumps etc and it still retains a lovely shine . Both labels are superb and virtually unmarked ! . All in all a lovely example of this now rare and very collectable record .

Cover: EXCELLENT: This truly is in excellent overall condition . Still lovely and shiny  front . All edges and corners are virtually un-marked ! . There are just a few very light surface marks and a very light showing of record ring indentations to the cover. The back cover again is superb. Still lovely and white. If i had to be critical , then there are some slight creases along the edge of the spine of the cover. This really is extremely minimal and i know that most people would not even have mentioned it .This really is one of the very best condition  David Bowie vinyl records you will see out there today ! .Thank you very much for your time and interest and happy bidding .

 Record Collector Magazine's Grading Guide:

"MINT: 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 the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Un-played should be Mint.

EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.

VERY GOOD: 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 or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.

FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.

POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler."
