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). Fantastic 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 This copy features the controversial and quickly withdrawn 'dress' sleeve and contains the misspelling of Tony Visconti on the labels showing 'Tonny' on both sides.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 Ex condition. There are only a couple of very light and minor surface marks to the playing surfaces, with some rather light 'poly bag residue' noted though a sample of playback produced no problems whatsoever. With some light spindle markings. Matrix/runout: 6338041 1Y//1 ∇ 420 1 1 4 & 2Y//1 ∇ 420 1 1 1. With original British Patent inner '11 0371'. The original textured sleeve is in VG condition. A well kept example, there is some wear around the edges and a few light creases. 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). Lovely all-round example of this iconic LP.

Sold for £2,200
