Acquire a pivotal piece of glam rock history with this highly sought-after 1973 UK early pressing transition variant of David Bowie's masterpiece, The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars. Released on the iconic bright orange RCA Victor label, this archival-grade LP features the highly specific "MainMan/Chrysalis" and "Rondor Music" label credits. This particular hybrid archive copy features the legendary Side 1 machine-stamped 9S lacquer paired with the celebrated Side 2 hand-etched 5E master, featuring the distinct hand-etched 'W' mastering engineer marker in the runout.

This collectible classic rock vinyl record comes housed in its original picture sleeve, complete with the "MainMan" logo and the tiny "HH" price code on the rear cover. It comes complete with the original lyric inner sleeve. The jacket remains in very good plus (VG+) condition, presenting a clean profile with only some vintage creasing across the top left-hand corner. The delicate lyric inner sleeve is clean, showing a small, typical seam split on the right-hand side. The vinyl itself is in excellent clean condition (EX-), retaining a beautiful deep gloss with just a few light surface marks that do not impact playback.

Perfect for serious investors and music purists alike, this premier piece of British rock heritage makes an exceptional addition to any audiophile collection.
