Diamond Dogs original?

[astronette]

Does anyone know if the original Diamond lp had the Future Legend insert or was it only with reissues??

[Thrasher1504]

Wow, diamond dogs! That takes me back. I had orig but no insert!

[andy-hughes]

Me too - day-of-release purchase, but no insert.

Kids today, they don;t know they're born! In my day ...(sound of door quietly closing).

(in best Elvis accent) - Ah thank you .. thank you very murch!

[astronette]

Thanks guys!
I have a 1982 reissue with an insert but I am looking to buy an original so wanted to know!
I was -3 in the year this came out so alas do not have the memory of this great day!!! ;-)
It is one of my favourite Bowie albums and (as with many classic albums) vinyl is the best way to listen to it!! :-)

As the definitive Bowie aficionado, I am certain the original had it on.

I have an original, but alas do not have a record player. The only way to tell a first pressing will be if the artwork includes an erect dogs penis. These are very rare and demand upwards of �500 to collectors.

Thrasher - lol - my mates dad leant me his albums!!!

Shadowman - I wanted to know if there is a paper insert with the words to Future Legend not the actual track..

@Shadow Man

Are you serious or ripping the P***???

I have one of them! Its shows the dogs tackle!

My brother (who I got this lot from) had the lot and he had all of pink floyd too. I have been offered a lot of cash for the floyd stuff several times but never the bowie stuff apart from a pic disc.

[Shadow Man]

The second pressings show a penis, but the original, original had it protuding like a wet lipstick.

[astronette]

He is correct. Bowie stuff goes for ridiculous prices. The Man Who Sold The World original dress cover is worth a few quid. Have a look on e-bay or other record auction sites. I have seen records that I've bought for a couple of quid go for amazing prices! If you have Liza Jane that recently went on E-bay for over a grand!

From wiki.

The cover art features a striking half-dog, half-Bowie figure painted by Guy Peellaert. It was controversial as the full painting clearly showed the hybrid�s genitalia. Very few copies of this original cover made their way into circulation at the time of the album's release. According to the record-collector publication Goldmine price guides, these albums have been among the most expensive record collectibles of all time, as high as thousands of US dollars for a single copy. The genitalia was quickly airbrushed out for the 1974 LP�s gatefold sleeve, although the original artwork (and another rejected cover featuring Bowie in a cordobes hat holding onto a ravenous dog) was included in subsequent Rykodisc/EMI re-issues.

I have my Bowie collection independently insured for over 15k.

He is very collectable.

[astronette]

WoW! That must be some collection. Guess mine would be worth a few hundred!!

@ALL POSTERS-

Thanks guys, I looked up wiki. I don't have an eBay account or any auction thing at all. I am not selling anyway. I got loads of my brother and many never even opened.

I have old cassette tapes of Bauhaus in practise sessions, I have cassettes of studio recording (not available ever in any shops) of bands like Deep Purple, Black Sabbeth, and I think the gold disc I have of Stiltskin's Burning Inside would probably be worth a bit???

[Shadow Man]

What do you have that may be rare?

If you sell, which I hope you don't, find a specialist Bowie auction, not Ebay.

I have just sold a limited edition Glass Spider tour puffa jacket (I have 2) for $450 to some overweight American.

@Shadow Man-

I have boxes of Bowie stuff in the Garage. There is some stuff that actually belongs to David Bowie himself. You reckon its worth a lot? I have no idea where to start when it comes to pricing the stuff. I have about 80 picture discs (Different artists/songs) Any advice where to start or get info?

[astronette]

I would never sell my Bowie stuff on E-bay (not that I want to sell any of it anyway). I go on to buy the odd thing.

Shadowman - What specialist Bowie auction sites do you reccommend. I am currently trying to value my collection.
