Hunky Dory - UK 1971 1st Press 3T/3T DAVID BOWIE - HUNKY DORY This timeless album, regarded as his most critically acclaimed best loved work, continues to cast its spell over every new generation since its original release in December 1971.
In January 2017, it was voted by listeners of BBC Radio 6 Music listeners as their favourite David Bowie album of all time.
This superb UK 1971 1st pressing has dates on the glossy RCA Victor label: SF 8244 Both labels have Chrysalis Music Ltd./Titanic Music publishing credits.
Matrix numbers: APRS 5947 3T APRS 5948 3T Bobil Rasputin are hand-etched into each respective run-out.
Vinyl weight: 128g Housed in a front laminated Robert Stace printed cover with the Gem logo but without the Mainman credit on the rear panel.
Complete with its original lyric printed insert poly-lined inner-sleeve.
CONDITION Disc Labels:EXCELLENT Both are clean glossy with a smidgen of spindle indentation marks around the side 1 centre hole only.
Audio/Visual:EXCELLENT Immaculately clean playing surfaces, which retain all of their deep-gloss shine.
Both sides are free from any significant blemishes in strong daylight and bare only some harmless wispy paper type one when viewed directly beneath halogen light.
Audibly, the quality of this legendary cutting shines through on every track.
As this copy has clearly been little played, the sound is clean unworn throughout, with just the faintest hint of vinyl background between tracks and in a few of the quieter passages.
However, there are no clicks, pops, jumps or any other audible distractions to detract from the magnificence of this album.
Cover:EXCELLENT A highly respectable example of this early cover of which very few featured a laminated front panel.
The front is clean, glossy unworn with just four small thumbnail wrinkles a similar amount to the spine.
All corners are in great shape with no bumps or bruising, just a touch of shelfwear to the lower tips.
Both opening edges are straight and undamaged with no tears or feathering either side.
The exposed rear panel it clean bright and without any writing or missing paper.
All of the spine wording is readable and covered and both seams are smooth unstressed.
Insert:EXCELLENT Clean uncreased.
