For sale here is a quite simply superb copy of Pink Floyds iconic 1973 LP "Dark side of the moon".
This album is simply outstanding in every possible way. No reams of pointless waffle here. This is about the facts. Those facts are listed below. Please note:-
Pink Floyds "Dark side of the moon". 1st UK pressing. A2 & B2 matrices. Stampers are GGO  & GRT. Midnight blue cover is a strong excellent. Black inner sleeve is a strong excellent. Postcard/stickers are a strong excellent. Original posters are a strong excellent. Vinyl surfaces are excellent plus. Playback is extraordinarily good and grades a very strong excellent.

I have been lucky enough to own over 25 copies of the solid blue triangle A2 B2 issues. This copy has a sound quality right up there with the very best of any of them. The detail is outstanding. The clarity is beyond belief. The whole album is pretty close to perfect, with only a couple of extremely minor comments. I will describe each element in a little more detail below.
THE COVER:                      The cover is in a really nice preserved condition. Midnight blue in colour, totally different to the later black issues. An extremely solid example with very little (very) shelf-wear. Spine is great. No creasing. No ring-wear. There is a little colour loss on the front leading edge. All clearly visible in my photos. This is a cracker and grades a very solid Ex.
THE INNER SLEEVE:                                    Correct black poly-lined inner, showing the patent numbers and made in Great Britain text in grey font. Super clean example. Has one slight nick to the centre circle to one side, again clearly shown in my photographs. Minimal wrinkling or creasing. A really nice one this with lining fully attached. Comfortably graded as Ex.
THE VINYL (VISUAL):                                     In normal daylight and angled viewing, there are NO marks of note. As clean as a whistle. In strong electric light this is really quite stunning. No marks worthy of note. The labels show half a dozen spindle marks to side one, and maybe four to side two. This has seen very very little play in its long life. Vinyl grades visually as Ex+, labels Ex.
THE VINYL (PLAY-GRADE):                                               Sound quality of the very highest order. I am taking comments straight from my play-grading notebook here. SIDE ONE. Some (extremely) light background leading into the heartbeat. Track 2 plays perfectly. Track 3 has 2 soft "dust pops" part way through, one from each channel (please note, dust pops usually clean out or play out in my experience). Tracks 4 and 5 play pretty much perfectly. SIDE TWO. Starts with a hint of surface noise in the opening 3-4 seconds. That's it! The whole side plays through superbly. The sound quality throughout is powerful, detailed and dynamic. Instruments and vocals are crystal clear. A beautiful beautiful copy indeed. As a grade, side 1 is just touching Ex+. Side 2 is a solid Ex+.
POSTERS AND STICKERS:                                               Both posters and stickers are present and are original to this album, not switched from later copies. The posters have no issues. No pin holes or tape markings. Maybe some very light age discolouration and an odd wrinkle, but grade a solid Ex. The stickers are pristine. No marks, rips etc etc. These grade Ex+.
This is a top top copy of this classic, iconic and highly collectable record. This would grace any collection and I highly recommend it to even the most discerning of buyers. Very hard to find better.
