Description

An original 1972 copy of MWSTW on the USA RCA label [Dynaflex]. This title was first released in late 1970, but it took a relaunch on RCA a full year later, before Bowie started to hit the mainstream. This pressing is one of the earliest by RCA. Matrix 2S/2S. The vinyl is lightweight Dynaflex so don't expect anything heavy. That being said this is one incredibly well preserved early slab of vinyl - and it sounds amazing. The vinyl comes housed in an original heavy-card Shorepak cover - which is in absolutely stunning condition. Also included is the original inner sleeve. Sorry, no poster!
Vinyl (Ex+) In remarkable condition and really has only seen slight use. Under close inspection there are a couple of very light marks per side - absolutely nothing significant or in anyway anything to worry about. A thorough testing from beginning to end reveals a mostly EXCELLENT+ level of playback with one slight deviation. Intros and inbetweens are really very nice and quiet and the audio comes across with superb clarity. Lovely quiet vinyl which allows you to hear deep into the mix. Beautifully rendered with no background, almost none. The only one minor deviation is in the opening seconds of the intro to side 2. I picked out a few isolated crackles and two light ticks. Minor and very fleeting, but I have to mention them to be fully transparent. Overall an amazingly well preserved original copy that would be difficult to equal let alone better. 
Cover (Ex+) I almost never use this grading for covers - and the reason is that they very very rarely can properly attain this grading. But this example is truly remarkable and is by far the best copy I've ever seen. Back and front are pretty much perfect..they literally look like a brand new cover...I had to do a double take to begin with because I couldn't quite believe it. Totally and perfectly flat with a shine like a mirror. There are no creases at all - with practically no observable wear on those surfaces which, on this title, is extremely unusual. There's no observable edge wear and the spine is 100% perfect. Openings are sharp and the corners square. Basically it's as perfect as you could ever hope to find. FINAL UPGRADE.
Inner (Ex/Ex+) Given the delicate nature of these inners even a half decent example is a difficult find. But yet again this example scores in all the right places. No splits. Hardly any wear at all. Truly remarkable.
