Description
David Bowie Hunky Dory LP UK 1971
No Mainman reference anywhere on this copy signifying that it is a 1971 first run release
This is the Hunky Dory copy to get, considered to be thee best sounding and I have to agree.
It's also one of the rarest copies as it was only available for less than 6 months when first released
Very very early 1971 release of Hunky Dory with the early heavy deep grooved vinyl.
This version has 3T in the matrix and *Bobil* etched side 1 and 3T on the runout groove with *RASPUTIN* etched on side 2
As I said it's as early a pressing as you can get unless you fancy paying 10 times the price for a Laminated copy.. No?..me neither!!
I've had them all and it's clear to me that the original 1971 releases sound far superior and they are built to last, big heavy slab of vinyl that lasts so well, this copy is one of them,
. It's in superb condition and as I said earlier sounds different class, I test play all my vinyl on my Project Essential deck, there are a few bits of static and surface noise but absolutely NO annoying jumps or sticks.. Tremendous sound.
Vinyl is nice and glossy with near perfect labels
There are a few light noticeable marks on this record but no sticks or jumps ANYWHERE great sheen there is a bit of static surface noise noticeable on the quieter parts
It's a great playback, I know a good one when I hear it.
AND I AM STRICT WITH MY RATINGS AND HONEST...Mistvsellers would have an iconic bit of vinyl like this graded a lot higher.
As I said I play all my records before sale...this us a fantastic playback
If I don't think a record is good enough, it doesn't get listed it's as simple as that..this particular copy of Hunky Dory was a straightforward decision, it's a cracker!!!
The original inner lyric is in great condition for 51 years old
The album cover is also in very good condition
Hunky Dory covers are difficult to find in mint condition, this copy is in above average condition and does have a bit of wear BUT the spine is still in fine condition. The rear of the cover is very nice indeed, very clean and still nice and white
But as I always say on my listing! Study the pics to decide for yourself as well
I've priced it VERY competitively. Look at the others available for far far more.. Are they better than mine?..
What you get is one of "thee" best audio versions of this iconic Bowie album
Sorry for the long winded description but I feel it's important to get as much detail as possible for anyone interested.
I wouldn't buy an album with a 3 line description. Maybe works for some folk. But not me.
Don't take a chance on an over described auction sale of Hunky Dory. Buy this one.. I know a good Hunky Dory when I see one
Thanks for looking
Record will be sent by Royal Mail signed for
In a proper sturdy record mailer
Any questions please ask..
Cheers
