Auction a David Bowie vinyl valued at 60,000 euros, it is a unique piece, because only 600 copies were made.


The online auction portal Catawiki has released an unreleased vinyl by David Bowie, from his fourth album "Hunkey Dory", which already reaches 19,600 euros and is expected to reach 60,000, a figure in which it is valued. The auction began on April 22 and can be bid until April 30.


According to Catawiki, it is a unique piece, as only 600 copies were made as a promotional gift to the record companies to listen to the new singles by David Bowie, before the "Hunky Dory" officially went on sale.


According to Denny Hoekstra, "there is no record of another copy of this piece that still lasts and unless it is for sale." «Bowie has become one of the most representative artists of music and his legacy will last for years. This auction is a unique opportunity for fans of the singer and music lovers, "said the auction expert of the aforementioned portal.


The vinyl has an unpublished song, "Bombers", replaced on the commercial record by "Fill Your Heart". In addition, in the folder of the album is written in the singer's handwriting, the credits of the album and a small presentation of each of the members of his band, formed by the famous "The Spiders From Mars."


This issue was a gift from the band's lead guitarist, Mick Ronson, to his mother, Minie. He went from family to friends until, according to the current record seller, he came to his neighbor, who changed his vinyl for a bottle of beer, in 1973.
