DAVID BOWIE - DAVID BOWIE (PHILIPS) - ORIGINAL UK WHITE LABEL TEST PRESSING (852 146). Absolutely amazing to uncover original UK white label test pressing of the famed eponymous 1969 LP from David Bowie which would thereafter become Space Oddity. The record (white labels with 'David Bowie Philips One', 'David Bowie Two' handwritten on the labels) is in brilliant Ex+. Looking scarcely played, there are only a couple of extremely faint, slight and wispy paper marks to note. Matrix/runout (machine stamped): 852146 1Y//2 * 1 1 1 & 852146 2Y//2 1 1 1. Housed with a 'generic' white sleeve (commonplace for test pressings) with a xeroxed track listing/credits.
