Product Details

Our Comments: This is the first copy of this rare Bowie release that we have ever seen! The album's original UK version, which arrived in British stores five months after the American release. Features the controversial "dress cover." This is the issue with the misspelt "Tonny Visconti" on the labels. The record is close to being in EX condition - it has retained much of its original shine, with a very limited number of light surface marks on the play surface. Were we grading purely based on audio, this would probably have received an EX grade.
