Description

Now that I have retired it is finally time to sort through my collection of vinyl LPs and I have decided to sell the David Bowie albums listed here which are all in good to fine condition (possibly better), both records and sleeves, complete with all lyric inners and a couple of posters. I doubt that I have played them much because I used to quickly make cassette tapes of my records and play those instead, in the car etc..

As far as I can recall, I bought Hunky Dory, Ziggy Stardust and Aladdin Sane more or less when they were first issued by RCA Victor in the UK in 1971, 1972 and 1973 respectively. I have tried to do a bit of research to find out whether they are first releases and their possible value but without much success (or real effort to be honest!) so have included what information I can below. Space Oddity and The Man Who Sold The World are later releases by RCA Victor of earlier albums on Philips and Mercury Records which I probably bought in the mid-seventies.

Sorry about the poor quality photos but I'm happy to answer any questions that anyone might have and I have started the bidding at just £15 (£3 each) for all five records which may be a real bargain for an early Bowie collector!

Personal collection is recommended but packing and postage by Post Standard Parcels with compensation up to £100 would be £7.50. Please note that if using a cheque my bank takes 8 days to clear – or so they claim!
