David Bowie Hunky Dory Seriously Rare Uk Laminated Original Near Mint

David Bowie - Hunk Dory - RCA - SF 8244 - Original UK pressing with laminated sleeve This 1971 album eventually sold a lot of copies but when it was first issued Bowie s career was in the doldrums and RCA only pressed up a very small quantity.
These initial pressings are astonishingly rare and can be identified by the laminated sleeve the later pressings have a matt sleeve which has no mention of Gem or Mainman and the labels have a glossy sheen..
This is a beautiful copy, played once to record on to tape and then filed away in a plastic sleeve.
For a Bowie collector it s a must have.
Copies have sold at auction for over 1500 The only flaw is that on the side 1 label the previous owner has written CL 22 part of has filing system but it has been done neatly and could probably be removed with a bit of know-how.
Happy to answer any questions and to ship anywhere on the planet but recorded/tracked/insured post is a must.
