DAVID BOWIE - HEROES - ORIG 1977 RCA LP PROMO SHRINK FAN CLUB INSERT NM/EX BEAUTY
Item History & Price
Up for auction is a very rare promo pressing of the David Bowie album Heroes, originally released in the U.S. on RCA Records (AFL1-2522) in 1977:
-Guaranteed original first pressing, not reissue-Still in opened factory shrink wrap
-STERLING mastering stamp in deadwax-Rare promotional copy, gold stamp back cover
-Original black RCA labels-Rare "Heroes" Bowie Fan Club insert
-Original inner sleeve w/ liner notes
-No UPC/bar code on cover-Vinyl comes in poly audiophile inne...r sleeve
Note:Most U.S. copies of "Heroes" sold as "original" on eBay are NOT, in fact, original pressings but rather second pressings with a different catalog number (AYL1-3857). Know the difference!
Condition:The cover is in very nice condition, beautifully protected by shrink wrap. No ring wear, no seam splits. Corners are sharp and clean. Shrink is nice, clean, but a couple tears on back (see photo). Overall, very nicely preserved original!Grade: Near Mint (NM)
Vinyl is also very nice, still retains its original shine. Both sides are very clean, no obvious scratches or scuffs. Side One has one tiny hairline that's hard to see that doesn't affect sound quality. Labels are clean, no significant wear to spindle holes. Play-tested: the audio quality is excellent, clean and clear. Looks like this record has maybe been played only once or twice at most previously but handled with care. Very nice original!
Grade: Excellent (EX)
Combined Shipping:
Yes, I offer significant combined shipping discounts. Just ask!
International Shipping:
Because of unreliable postal services, buyers in France and Italy must pay for Expedited international shipping, which includes tracking and insurance. I've had too many records lost or damaged shipping to these countries. Also, I do not ship to Central or South America, or China.
How I Pack Your Records:
I remove the records with inner sleeves from the covers prior to packing. I sandwich the record between two pieces of cardboard for padding and protection. I also reinforce the corners of the shipping box to protect the corners of the record jacket from damage.
