DAVID BOWIE - YOUNG AMERICANS

US FIRST PRESSING. With picture inner sleeve and handbill/poster advertising Bowie's other albums.

I'm Selling My Collection: From 1970 - 1983 I was a rock critic in the UK and US - Sounds, NME, CREEM, Rolling Stone, etc. - major pieces included The Stones, Jimmy Page, Queen, Bowie, Patti Smith, and in 1976 chronicled the first year of Punk. [It's all here: http://jonh-ingham.blogspot.co.uk/]. Somewhere in the middle I did PR at EMI and Island. In 1977 I managed Generation X and in 1980 the Go-Gos. I've run a club, been a DJ, ran labels...All the time, I collected records. Now I'm selling them.

EVERY RECORD & CD I LIST IS MINE - 99% of the time I got them when they were released. I really took care of them - I had a great stereo and a Shure V-15 cartridge. I did my best to keep everything in perfect condition - not easy with some of the flimsy cardboard used for covers.

There's a lot of bs on eBay hyping up how rare the seller's records are and how perfect the condition is. I describe these records as honestly as I can. The discs are inspected in daylight. Please use the Zoom function on the photos to check for yourself.
