David Bowie - Space Oddity (LP) (Very Good (VG))

Vinyl playback is closer to VG+, minor surface marks, minimal infrequent surface noise that doesn’t overpower the playback. Sleeve has small repaired tear to rear opening and is a little tired. Includes printed inner sleeve but not in great condition. All of our records are shipped with protective polythene covers and secured in sturdy packaging. Carefully stored in a humidified environment and tested on high-quality equipment for optimal sound clarity.

The variants shown on this listing include both, different stampers from the same lacquer cut as well as different lacquer cuts from the source tape. The first number & letter combination after the matrix number (eg BPRS 4502- 1E, 2E etc) indicates the sequence of cuts (1,2,3) and whether they were cut at RCA or not (eg E). It follows that each cut may sound different from others.
