Ultra Rare David Bowie Man Who Sold The World Drag Cover

This is it.
The real deal.
A genuine Man Who Sold the World drag cover.
The record is in NM condition, played once when I bought it over 30 years ago.
The cover, unfortunately, has some tear marks on the back that appear to be from scotch tape.
The sleeve is not the original sleeve.
I m selling my entire Bowie collection which includes imports, promo only, and rarities, so let me know if there is anything else you re looking for.
The drag cover has been counterfeited twice, in Japan in the late 70s and in Italy in the early 80s.
The Italian counterfeit is easy to expose, as it has a poorly reproduced sleeve that lacks the textured appearance of the original, and has a white rather than black record label.
The Japanese counterfeit is a much better copy, but it can be identified by the slightly cropped photo s on the cover on the front Bowie s feet touch the edge of the sleeve on the counterfeit, whereas they by far don t on the original that also has a different texture it uses wax to reproduce the original wallpaper-like sleeve , the spine on which the album title and catalogue number have been inverted , and the record label which is dark grey instead of black, with a silver edge that is absent from the original, and has R 1971 rather than P 1971, plus a space in the word BRO ADCASTING .
Note that most books and even the Rykodisc reissue use a photo of the counterfeit Happy bidding
