Pink Floyd 'The Dark Side of the Moon' 1978 - Japan Special 'Pro-Use Series' Edition
Considered by many to be the best so-called 'audiophile pressing' of DSOTM. Better sonics than even Mobile Fidelity. Generally, it is ranked as the 4th best DSOTM pressing overall. Best in order: #1: UK '73 A2/B2, #2: UK '73 A3/B3, #3: EU '03 30th Anniversary, and #4: Japan '78 Pro Use Series. Of course, while this is all subjective, it is quite a reliable guide after 50 years of fans listening and comparing.

Grading endeavors to be conservative. (Please see below for grading scale)
All open vinyl is shipped in a new poly-inner, and the album cover in a poly-sleeve.
Vinyl is cleaned on a VPI 16.5 machine and test played 'start-to-finish' prior to listing, unless otherwise noted.
'Vinyl Playback' will always address egregious audible concerns. If you encounter any issues with your purchase, please contact me prior to leaving negative or neutral feedback.
My goal is your 100% complete satisfaction.
