A slight word of warning: at that stage (early 70s) RCA pressings emanated from their long-defunct factory at Washington in North East England (my neck of the woods) and their popular records weren't always reliable in terms of quality. In the US RCA pressings used what was termed the Dynaflex process (the logo clearly printed on the record label) and were in my experience little better (as well as being very thin, I recall). I think you may be better off looking for a RCA International green label repress from the early 80s, as those were of European origin and generally much cleaner pressings. I have some Bowie RCAs from the same period that still sound great.
