David Bowie - Starman.
Original UK 45rpm RCA Records One Sided Master Stamper Plate.
Complete with Original Storage Box !!
Matrix Number BGBS 0904 A2.
This stunning and unique item is one of the original Metal master stampers used in the production of this classic Bowie single.
At the time in the UK industrial action and rising oil costs made the production of vinyl very expensive. RCA who at this time had many of the worlds best selling artists on their roster looked overseas for a solution to this problem and began to import discs from the USA pressed using a cheap vinyl called Dynaflex. They also used pressing plants in France and Germany. This pressing plate was made for export to France but by the time it was needed the oil crisis has ended and production resumed in the UK.
This disc is a positive and can be played on conventional record decks like a normal record.
In Mint/Unused Condition.
