Well, it's time to sell some of my personal collection :(
This little beauty is a very 1st pressing of Pink Floyd's 6th release and was the first studio album after the departure of Syd.
Released on GUY FAWKS night in 1971 (November the 5th) it reached the slot of 3rd position in the UK album charts.

WOW...Lovely early Mothers and Stampers here!

The Vinyl:
QUALITY 138g
VG+
 Glorious sheen to the record and wonderful sound reproduction. There are just light marks to the vinyl, which creats a small degree of background noise-more evident at the start of track 1, side 1, due to the quiet start. I also noticed a small more pronounced mark to side 2-right at the start, but has very little effect on audio reproduction.
 I have just had the joy of playing her through on both sides and didn't find any skips or jumps! I think she would benefit from a gentle professional clean.
Lovely and heavy
LOVELY and FLAT

The Labels: EX-.
 1st pressing labels.
They are slightly lighter in colour than the later Harvest labels. Also of note is:
EMI in a box at 3 O'clock
"MADE IN GT BRITAIN" at 6 O'clock
NO writing, rips/tears.
Barely any hole wear and spindle marks visible when angled towards the light.
As you can see by the detailed images provided-there is a small nameto side 2 and initials to side 1.
RARE 1ST PRESSING

The Cover: VG-. It is the ORIGINAL Textured gatefold cover. With texturing to BOTH the inside and outside. The spine has been rubbed, creating a split to one side of the gatefold-but not all the way through. The corners are rubbed too as.....Far from trashed.
There's small initials and a small crossed out name to the inside of the gatefold-nothing bad at all.


The Inner: EX+. Poly-lined, double windowed inner in TOP shape...Certainly done her job in protecting this wonderful slab of vinyl.

ALL IN ALL THIS IS A VERY 1ST PRESSING OF A FANTASTIC ALBUM.
SHE STILL PLAYS THROUGH WITH VIGOR.
FLAT AS THE DAY SHE WAS BORN
TEXTURED GATEFOLD
