DAVID BOWIE
ALADDIN SANE
ORIGINAL 1973
ITALIAN PROVISIONAL SLEEVE
PROMO RECORD
DJ WHITE LABEL PROMO
This is an ORIGINAL 1973 Italian DJ WHITE LABEL PROMO with the PROVISIONAL PROMO sleeve. VERY RARE. It looks like the writing on
the back of the sleeve has been hand written in felt tip but it has not.
This has been printed on . I got a lovely Italian chef that I used to deliver to
when I had my business to translate exactly what that beautiful language on
the back of the sleeve is actually saying. I cant remember but
it is something along these lines . Promo LP Provisional sleeve, sleeve not
ready yet. (Please any folks out there who speak Italian? Help!
I will add it to the listing).
This leads me to believe this pressing may even pre date the US or UK pressings of
Bowie`s 1973 masterpiece ALADDIN SANE. While I have been listing these great records have you noticed there has been 2 words that I keep using . GENIUS and
MASTERPIECE . These are not words I use lightly....In musical terms what makes a GENIUS ? To me, it is someone who breaks new grounds and pushes the boundaries.
MASTERPIECE . In musical terms that is an LP that has 12 songs and 10 are
magnificent. Or 10 songs and 8 are magnificent. David Bowie has achieved both of
these goals more than any other artist I know of. This is Bowie`s 73 Masterpiece.
To me this is Ziggy Stardust , but in colour ! Or Ziggy was Acoustic and this is Ziggy
going electric.
The sleeve is in WONDERFUL condition and is really clean front and back.
The record labels are bright and clean with hardly any signs of play.
The vinyl is in TOTALLY STUNNING condition with the lightest amount of really wispy hairlines from moving the LP from in and out of the inner sleeve. There is no
bad hissing, no clicks no sticking and no jumps at all on any track on either
side of the LP. No sound distortion to speak of AT ALL . This GREAT PRESSING
plays through completely without fault. It plays a very strong excellent + throughout. Double click the pictures and look at the close up of the boldly stamped matrix numbers .
This a a big thick heavy chunk of 70s vinyl and it sounds like that.
They don`t make em like this any more. LOUD HEAVY AND CRYSTAL CLEAR.
A RARE , RARE pressing on one of the more sought after DAVID BOWIE
CLASSIC MASTERPIECE`S . With the preview sleeve, and the DJ White Label.
I have NEVER seen another one of these.
