David Bowie The Man Who Sold The World - Withdrawn Dress Sleeve - VG UK vinyl LP album (LP record)
|
| Tracklisting / Additional Info: |
The Vinyl
The labels are black & silver with '(p)1971' print. Note the 'Tonny' Visconti producer credit misprint is printed both sides, which was quickly recalled by Mercury & pressed again almost immediately.
There are spindle marks to show play by the centre hole, but the labels are bright & clear with no writing or tears.
The vinyl shows some paper scuffs, the occasional hairline mark and a few mild scuffs. However, the vinyl plays without fault, albeit with a couple of light clicks and light background surface noise in the quieter sections.
This one is now a serious collectors item for the Bowie fan looking to invest & should be stored carefully.
The musical content featured on this album does not differ in any way from the countless reissues on both vinyl and CD, & so a highly playable copy of this album can easily be found.
Sleeve
The unique, withdrawn picture sleeve to this album is legendary and the major selling point here. This particular cover is now extremely difficult to find as an original, & when & if found, it is usually found ripped, torn or excessively worn due to its fragile nature and texture.
The front of the sleeve has nice, bright clear colours. The delicate construction of the sleeve means there is scuffing visible, on all sides. There is no writing & no splits. The spine's edge & corners reveal scuffs/ringwear & the spine's text remains (mostly) legible. Both panels are nice & clean & the design is strong & vivid. The all-important sleeve is graded VG-. An increasingly rare & desirable cover design.
Note, the original cover is matt & finely textured (like wallpaper). The spine has is printed top to bottom, correctly. The clock on the mantlepiece is visible & Bowie's foot is clearly in shot.
With so many good counterfeits of this sleeve on the market, we are pleased to be able to offer this GENUINE article here, so you can buy with confidence !
A wonderful item & increasingly in demand, this is the jewel in any Bowie collection.
