Description Up for auction are 2 early David Bowie lp's on Mercury. Description:. Man of Words, Man of Music (aka David Bowie) This is an original, super rare 1969 USA press. The lp is in Fair condition, with many light marks visible on both sides. It plays about the same with static present. LP skips multiple times during "Space Oddity" and a few times during "Janine", may skip other places. Jacket is in poor condition and is completely split. Glue has come off at the top seam and there are tape stains. The Man Who Sold The World (1970). This is the common cartoon cover version with handwritten runout matrix and mistake during "All The Madmen". Condition of lp: looks EX-/VG+ I haven't played it in a while but a few light marks from the sleeve and little else. There seems to be a visual rippling effect on the vinyl but I remember it playing ok. Sleeve is VG+ with a bend in the top right and light ringwear.
