DAVID BOWIE

RCA VICTOR LSP-4623

Jacket: VG+- Some edge wear, upper right corner cut off. Original textured cover.

Record: NM - Some very slight surface scratches, clean label (orange). First pressing.

This is an ultra rare press pack issued by RCA Records. Original jacket also comes with a white cardboard jacket which includes laminated record sleeve in addition to original lyric sleeve. Also, a 7" x 10" envelope (with back cover graphics on both sides) contains two RCA B&W press photos of Bowie as he appears on the front and back cover (see below photo). Both photos have a slight crease (roughly halfway down) across the photo.

A true collector's item for the ultimate Bowie fan!

"Hunky Dory is a kaleidoscopic array of pop styles, tied together only by Bowie's sense of vision: a sweeping, cinematic mélange of high and low art, ambiguous sexuality, kitsch, and class. Mick Ronson's guitar is pushed to the back, leaving Rick Wakeman's cabaret piano to dominate the sound of the album. The subdued support accentuates the depth of Bowie's material, whether it's the revamped Tin Pan Alley of "Changes," the Neil Young homage "Quicksand," the soaring "Life on Mars?," the rolling, vaguely homosexual anthem "Oh! You Pretty Things," or the dark acoustic rocker "Andy Warhol." On the surface, such a wide range of styles and sounds would make an album incoherent, but Bowie's improved songwriting and determined sense of style instead made Hunky Dory a touchstone for reinterpreting pop's traditions into fresh, postmodern pop music. "
