Description
LSP 4816 1972 US Pressed Vinyl but UK Printed Sleeve (UK First Pressing)
I'm not a Bowie expert but my understanding is that this album was only initially released in the US with a different cover.
For the UK, they sourced US pressed records and made a different sleeve, so this will be a UK first pressing in effect.
Later issues were pressed in UK and had Mercury reference on the front of the sleeve bottom left, this has the Phillips reference on the rear.
Matrix Side 1 - BPRS 4512 2S A1 Matrix Side 2 - BPRS 4513 2S A2
If you have any other questions or believe I am mistaken please drop me a message.
Record Appearance - VG Side 1 has a grease/fluid marks on track 1 only, so have not tested that track. Hopefully a machine clean would remove this. Side 2 is close to NM no obvious marks or scratches.
Record Audio - VG Track 1 as above not tested so presume will need cleaning up before play. Rest of the LP just has a little surface noise in between tracks, sounds great when in full flow. Confident will be VG+ with a machine clean, if not even NM.
Record Sleeve - VG Unfortunately nearly all of these low quality black sleeves have ring wear and discolouration, and this is no exception. Not sure if this release came with a poster but there is not one present. Inner sleeve in great condition and rare to have, easily VG+.
