DAVID BOWIE - THE MAN WHO SOLD THE WORLD LP - ORIGINAL UK 'DRESS SLEEVE' COPY - 'TONNY' (MERCURY 6338 041)

DAVID BOWIE - THE MAN WHO SOLD THE WORLD LP - ORIGINAL UK 'DRESS SLEEVE' COPY - 'TONNY' (MERCURY 6338 041). Superb to see very first UK pressing of the iconic 1971 LP from Mr Jones. This copy features the controversial and quickly withdrawn 'dress' sleeve and contains the misspelling of Tony Visconti on the labels showing 'Tonny' on both sides. The record is in sharp VG+ condition showing a few rather light and minor surface hairline marks to the playing surfaces though absolutely nothing heavier in nature. With bright and sharp labels. Matrix/runout: 6338041 1Y//1 ∇ 420 1 1 4 & 2Y//1 ∇ 420 1 1 1. The original textured sleeve is in VG+ condition. Showing some minor wear around the edges and a few light creases, there is a small section on the top edge that has a small paper tear. The striking image of Bowie is in clean order, the reverse image is also nice and clear (no foxing or damage to the textured design). The spine is fully legible.

Sold for £1,700
