Frequently asked questions about postage:

Do you combine postage?  Yes.  I am not a business.  I have decent scales and if someone buys more than one item I pack, weigh and then send the invoice.  If someone buys quite a lot I will take the time to work out the various ways I can combine items to get the lowest postal costs with the correct insurance.

Will you send by standard postage?  No.  I will not post anything unless it has the correct insurance and a signature at point of delivery.   This includes international postage.

David Bowie 1971 HUNKY DORY Pre Mainman RASPUTIN/BOBIL Matt Cover Glossy Labels

From my own collection and owned by me from new.

The cover is in near excellent condition.  There are a few tiny creases to the edges, the bottom right corner is creased but flattened out and there is very slight ring wear to the front on the top black border.   Minor shelf wear to the bottom edge.  The spine is formed by folding the card - not the square type with two clear edges. The corners have slight wear.  No writing, no labels, no scuffs or tears.

The original inner sleeve is in excellent condition and has no splits, tears or writing - just a bit of age related discolouration.

The vinyl is clean and shiny with 3 light sleeve scuffs/surface scratches on side 2 which do not affect the sound quality.

The labels are in excellent condition - no writing, missing bits or other nasties.  They are the glossy orange ones.

The original double sided lyric sheet insert is also in excellent - just a little ding approximately half way down the right edge and a tiny crease to the top left corner

I have played it all the way through on both sides and there are no jumps, no sticking points, no pops or clicks.  Just a tiny amount of surface noise three quarters of the way through Track One, Side One.    Brilliant album with excellent sound all through.
