DAVID BOWIE - HUNKY DORY LP (NEW ZEALAND OG - RCA LSP 4623). A stunning example of an original New Zealand pressing of David Bowie's 1971 studio album Hunky Dory. The story goes that the cover artwork was missing when sent over to New Zealand prior to pressing so when made up that's why the first pressings have the rear cover on both sides (LSP 4623, 1971 New Zealand pressing on RCA Victor. Orange labels are lovely, bright and legible. Side 1 label has the name Ian Morris written on it, which coincidently coincides with I MORRIS which is etched into the runout groove. The record is lovely, bright and glossy. It displays some light paper surface marks, strong VG+. The cover with rear image on both sides has minimal edge shelf wear, some of the white areas do have some light foxing. Name written on top left corner of the 'cover', VG+).
