Light reflections on first pic make it look really bad. It is not. Keep reading. This is the UK 71 original, front laminated with the GEM restored. 3T matrix with Bobil and Rasputin etched. The vinyl is shiny, good spindle hole, some hairlines and minor scratches. It has been played for sure. The laminated front has seen better days. The card board was always too flimsy and after 53 years, well it is what it is. Comes with the original lyrics sheet which must have been folded. Please see the pics. Still all very nice and a true collectors price. Ask for more info if needed. I have more Bowie original vinyls.
