Item Description

I have been a David Bowie fan since the 1970s and have a huge collection of items accumulated over the years.
All these items are from my own collection so are in superb, collectable condition.
Any significant issues will be mentioned in the listing.
PP charges for bidders outside the UK: Please note that I send ALL international items tracked and/or signed, which costs more than the standard airmail rate.
Please note that PP for multiple orders will be significantly lower than the combined total for each item, so please wait for my invoice.
For information about PP costs please read the information about PP further down the listing.
Superb example of this rare, early Bowie record, released in June 1970.
I have owned this for many years and it has rarely been played.Detailed description Labels: The labels look great with absolutely no signs of tears, writing, stickers etc.
Vinyl: The vinyl is clean and has retained its original sheen.
In normal light there is very little to see and even under bright, direct light, I could see just whispy hairlines and light signs of use, but there is nothing significant anywhere.
I have played both sides of the record and it sounds fantastic with nothing to report.
For the sake of completeness I would mention that there is some very light background noise in the run-ins/run-outs and the occasional random click, but there are no repetitive clicks and absolutely nothing significant anywhere.
I would play-grade both sides as Near Mint NM .
Company sleeve: The sleeve has no writing or major issues, just normal signs of use, with some creasing and light signs of wear.
There is one small half-inch split on one side seam.
Detracting features not covered above: None.
This is a superb example.
Information about descriptions.
My items are always described accurately and fairly.
I always do my best to point out any blemishes which might detract from the item and all photographs are of the actual item you will get.
Play-graded vinyl: I play grade records where possible but I don t have time to play them all.
I always state in the listing if I have played a record prior to describing it.
Visually-graded vinyl: Unless specifically stated in the listing, vinyl is visually graded.
A visual grading will identify physical flaws such as scratches and can help determine whether a record has been cared-for properly.
I always do my best to give a fair assessment of any visible marks on the playing surface, but a visual grading will not identify noise or crackle caused by non-visible sources.
Most of the records I sell are between thirty and fifty years old and so it is likely that there may be some background noise even if they look perfect.
Please see Terms and Conditions below for my refunds policy for visually graded records.
I have some very simple terms and conditions.
Please read them and ensure that you understand them before bidding.
Thank you.

POSTAGE PACKING I care about the records I sell and believe that they need to be carefully and securely packaged to ensure that they survive their journey through the post.
Vinyl is removed from the sleeve for posting and the contents will be protected with rigid cardboard stiffeners.
All packages are labelled Do not bend and securely sealed with FRAGILE parcel tape.
I support the use of recycled materials and so I may send some items in packaging which has been previously used or which has been made from other cardboard packaging.

Thanks.
PP charges I need to cover the cost of postage and packing materials, but I try not to charge more for packing and posting your item than it actually costs me.
I do not view PP costs as a means of making money.
However, to quote an exact cost for every LP is difficult because of the wide variance in weight e.g.
Abbey Road weighs around 230 grams whereas Led Zeppelin III weighs around 390 grams .
But the majority of single LPs, when packed, will weigh around 500-550 grams and I have based my PP rates on this.
Occasionally, you may end up paying a few pence more than it actually costs me and occasionally you may end up paying a few pence less than it actually costs me.
If there is a significant discrepancy in your favour I will refund the difference.
Double LPs will be charged as two LPs, triple LPs will be charged as three LPs.
Box sets etc will be charged according to weight.
