PHILIPS SBL 7912
THE MAN WHO SOLD THE WORLD
MERCURY 6338 041
I have decided to sell both these two very rare Bowie albums together because TMWSTW is not in the greatest of condition.
The vinyl for David Bowie (SBL 7912) has some light surface markings and one light scratch at the end of Space Oddity which creates around a dozen light clicks/ticks. Nothing too serious. The rest of the album plays with some occasional background noise and grades EX-. Sleeve is in VG condition with a small tear to the bottom right (see pics). Spine has rubbing.
The Man Who Sold The World vinyl is hard to grade. Side One is VG+. The first track (Running Gun Blues) on Side Two however has been badly damaged playing with heavy background noise and a couple of jumps. The rest of the side is similar to Side One. Overall I will grade as Fair. The sleeve has some seam splits and rubbing. I would grade as G+.
Please note all bidders from the Russian Federation and other Eastern European countries will need to pay the extra to have items sent by registered mail. This is due to a number of recent losses in the postal system. Therefore bidders from these countries should not pay until I have invoiced them. Thanks.
Happy bidding!
Please note I use UK Record Collector grading system for all albums with the addition of the accepted Near Mint category:
MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality.
The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition.
NEAR MINT: The record appears new but is known to have been played because the label has light spindle marks or because it has come from a previous owner
and is assumed to have been played by them
