Description
DAVID BOWIE.
SCARY MONSTERS.
ORIGINAL 1980 PRESSING.
It is true.
It really does exist.
This is surely the rarest David Bowie LP ever pressed.
Look at it. Beautiful isn't it. And its beauty lies in the items
true rarity....
The mythical, Purple vinyl 1980 original pressing of David`s masterpiece
and ground breaking classic, Scary Monsters.
Excruciatingly rare (only 3 copies known to exist). Making it one of the most desired
and highly prised Bowie LPs in existence. This painfully rare gem would surely be
the centrepiece of any Bowie collection. To all the hardest of the hard Bowie collectors,
as long as your collection is missing this beauty, your collection can never be complete.
The condition of the cover is pretty unimportant as you could replace it easily with a mint
one for £20. This auction is all about the vinyl and the sheer rarity of this fantastic piece.
So to condition.
And it very important you take your time and read this.
The track SCARY MONSTERS AND SUPER CREEPS plays perfectly for
a couple of minutes but then it jumps about a dozen times so this track can not
be enjoyed. You can see the scratch if you double click the pictures.
The rest of the LP plays EXELLENTLY with no problems at all. No hissing
no sticking no background noise and no jumps.
If the track Scary monsters played as well as the rest of the LP this
record would have a reserve of £5000 and even that would be cheap.
I have set a reserve on this rare LP that reflects the items only problematic
track, Scary Monsters. I myself searched for 12 years to find this great item
and despite its problem, as a serious collector its great to add this piece
into your collection, and I have really enjoyed owning this ultra rare
David Bowie collectable.
Of all the rare Bowie LPs,
none of them.
NONE OF THEM.
COME ANY RARER THAN THIS.
This is YOUR chance.
WIN IT !!!

A few years ago the Financial times ran a 4 page report,(im sure it will be on
the net somewhere). On what were the most lucrative investments over that last
50 years in the UK, for those of us fortunate enough to have a bit of spare cash
to invest with. Here they are and in this order.
Number one was antique cars, followed by antique watches. Three was property,
and number 4 was our old friend.Vinyl. In each category the FT said it is imperative
you invest in the right stuff. Think about that ! And then named certain watches,cars
and property postcodes.
The vinyl they listed was The Beatles ,the Stones , Prog rock and DAVID BOWIE.
As huge as David`s legacy is. I think it`s still just the beginning. And here is why.
And who amongst you would not agree with this....?
As we look back and lament David`s work and his life. The more you look at Bowie`s
work, the more you see..... I think the world will see more and more and more as
time moves on, and we will realise much more than we already do, in what we had,
in this ground breaking artist. And that word, right there, is key.
ARTIST!
Much more than just a rock star.
Bowie changed everything.
And he is still doing it !
Is it just me ?
Or have David Bowie`s lyrics developed a totally different meaning
now he is no longer among us ?
David Bowie did more for music than Picasso ever
did for painting. I can see it now in my minds eye.
The David Bowie stage at Glastonbury.
The David Bowie award at the Mercury Prize.
Both for most unusual or ground breaking new act. Who wouldn't be proud to play
on that stage or win that award ? You heard it here first !
My point in all this is, this great and rare opportunity.
David is the top of the tree in terms of investability. And this record is
THE ONE.
Here is something you might want to consider....
When it is gone, it will be gone from your life.
FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!
On the last day of this auction there will have been thousands of hits.
A thousand watchers and a few tyre kickers.
MAKE NO BONES ABOUT THIS....
THERE WILL ONLY BE ONE WINNER !!!
DO ALL YOU CAN TO MAKE SURE THE WINNER IS YOU.
BECAUSE.
THIS IS GOING TO FLY.
