Description

An original 1st press of Hunky Dory on the UK RCA label from 1971. Matrix 3T/3T. Etchings 'Bobil, Rasputin'. Please note label design is consistent with very 1st pressing - shiny and with Titanic publishing credits [no Mainman]. Also worth bearing in mind that in 1971 Bowie was yet to be a fully fledged star, he'd have to wait until Summer 1972 for Ziggy to propel him to the top of the charts. The heavy set vinyl comes housed in an original non-laminated Robert Stace cover without Mainman logo. There's no lyric sheet unfortunately.
Vinyl (Ex-) In great superb condition and has seen only light use. Under close inspection there are a few light marks - nothing remotely troublesome. A thorough testing from beginning to end reveals a NEAREXCELLENT level of playback. Intros and inbetweens are quiet and the audio comes across with great clarity. Interference is relatively minor and infrequent. All we could detect was a few light static crackles in the odd moment - and certainly nothing continual or invasive. A very fine rendition and you are only left to wonder why this slab of vinyl wasn't sufficient to propel him to stardom right there and then in 1971.
Cover (Ex-) Often turns up looking a bit worse for wear over the years. This copy is still in fine form with a very nice and clean front with only a couple of light creases evident. The rear is in equally good form with barely a hint of ageing. Edge wear is relatively light and the text on the spine is still fully legible. Overall the cover still retains excellent rigidity and remains a very fine example of this, now, hard to find original cover.
Inner (Vg+) No splits. Bit of ageing.

Any purchase is guaranteed to get to you quickly, safely, and with total satisfaction, or your money back.
