David Bowie The Man Who Sold The World Mercury Lp Dress Cover Excellent

DAVID BOWIE THE MAN WHO SOLD THE WORLD 1971 AUSTRALIAN ORIGINAL ON MERCURY RECORDS RED LABEL RARE As you can see this is the ULTRA RARE AUSTRALIAN version of BOWIE s 1971 ROCK MASTERPIECE THE MAN WHO SOLD THE WORLD.
Let me try to put the term ULTRA RARE into a better perspective for you .
The UK version of this LP is seriously rare but this is out there.
In terms or rarity this Aussie Dress Cover is in a league of its own.
For every 200 UK dress/drag covers you see, you will see only 1 of these.
Believe me when i tell you , THIS IS IN AMAZING CONDITION.
I have only seen very few in my life.
This is by far one of the best of them all.
This sleeve is even more delicate than the UK version.
The sleeve itself is very thin so prone to ring wear visible in the shots.
As these Aussie dress covers go this is exceptionally good.
The back has very little ring ware and there is edge ware but no rips, tears, or stickers, and for this sleeve that is rare It is textured just like the UK version but much more lightly textured .
You can read the writing on the spine but it is faded that said, its one of the BEST SLEEVES I HAVE SEEN.
I am not going to grade the sleeve it is exactly as you see it.
Normally I would grade this sleeve as VG.
But that would be unfair to compare this ultra delicate Australian Sleeve to any other sleeve.
Compared to the other Australian dress covers I have seen, this sleeve is near mint.
The Record itself is in Excellent condition .
A few wispy sleeve marks on both sides but it plays magnificently, as good as you will find anytime soon.
TAKE A LOOK AT THOSE BEAUTIFUL MERCURY RED LABELS....
Aren t they FABULOUS.
MERCURY in WHITE on a that lovely red background with all the other writings in black.
No stickers, writing, or tears on both Labels, a truly excellent copy A very well preserved piece of vinyl for it s age This is one of those really rare records that is yet to achieve its full potential.
Another is the German Round cover of the same name.
Just like the round cover This Australian THE MAN WHO SOLD THE WORLD is EXCRUCIATINGLY RARE .
One day this too will be worth a value that reflects it true rarity .
