A CLASSIC PINK FLOYD ALBUM FROM MY OWN PRIVATE COLLECTION THAT I HAVE PUT TOGETHER OVER SOME YEARS. THIS IS THE ORIGINAL FIRST UK PRESSING OF THEIR "ATOM HEART MOTHER" ALBUM. THIS HAS "THE GRAMOPHONE Co LTD" TEXT AROUND THE LABEL RIMS, AND OF COURSE THE MATRICES A1G AND B1G, SIGNIFYING ITS EARLIEST PRESS STATUS. IT DOES NOT HAVE THE BOXED EMI LOGO EITHER, AND HAS THE GENUINE FIRST ISSUE GATEFOLD COVER. IN ITSELF THIS IS NOT THE RAREST FLOYD ALBUM OUT THERE. THERE ARE A FEW OF THESE TO BE FOUND WITHOUT TOO MUCH TROUBLE. WHAT SETS THIS ONE APART FROM MOST OTHERS IS ITS STUNNING CONDITION! FROM DAY 1 THIS HAS BEEN HANDLED AND PLAYED WITH THE UTMOST CARE. IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN STORED IN A HEAVY DUTY PLASTIC COVER TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO WHAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN A COVER PRONE TO WEAR EASILY. IT HAS BEEN PLAYED VERY FEW TIMES AT ALL, AS CAN BE SEEN BY THE LACK OF MARKS TO THE LABELS AND THE SUPERB QUALITY OF THE VINYL PLAYING SURFACES.
THE GATEFOLD COVER IS IN EXCELLENT PLUS CONDITION. IT DISPLAYS A LACK OF SHELFWEAR THAT IS HARD TO BELIEVE. THIS IS FAR AND AWAY THE BEST COVER I HAVE EVER SEEN. NO CONTEST. THE INNER SLEEVE IS FANTASTICALLY WHITE AND CRISP. IT DOES HAVE A LIGHT CREASE IN ONE CORNER, BUT AGAIN, THIS AMONGST THE NICEST I HAVE SEEN. THE LABELS ARE CLEAN AS A WHISTLE, WITH SPINDLE MARKINGS THAT ARE NEGLIGABLE. THE VINYLS ARE ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING! A RICH DEEP BLACK SHEEN, AND WITH ONLY THE WHISPIEST OF LIGHT MARKS THAT ARE CONSISTENT WITH REMOVAL FROM ITS INNER SLEEVE. THE SOUND IS MOST IMPRESSIVE. RICH, VIBRANT AND WITH PERFECT DYNAMICS. FREE FROM ANY CLICKS, POPS, STICKS OR JUMPS. THIS IS A FANTASTIC AURAL EXPERIENCE, AND BENEFITS GREATLY FROM ITS FIRST PRESSING STATUS.
OVERALL THIS IS FAR AND AWAY THE BEST QUALITY COPY OF THIS ICONIC ALBUM THAT I HAVE EVER COME ACROSS. I THINK IT WOULD BE EXTREMELY HARD TO FIND ANYTHING TO MATCH IT. FOR ITS AGE, AMAZING IS NOT TO STRONG A WORD TO USE. MY ADVICE TO YOU WOULD BE IF YOU EVER SEE A BETTER COPY THAN THIS, BUY IT AT ANY PRICE!! THIS IS A LITTLE GEM, AND A MUST HAVE.
I AM SELLING WITHOUT RESERVE, AND THE LOWEST OF STARTING PRICES. AN ALBUM OF THIS QUALITY WILL ALWAYS FIND ITS PRICE LEVEL WITHOUT HELP FROM ME.
I AM SELLING WORLDWIDE, SO POSTAL COSTS WILL VARY. I DO NOT PROFIT ON POSTAGE. I CHARGE AT COST PLUS A FEW PENNIES FOR MY VERY ROBUST PACKING. I POST PROMPTLY ON SALE END.
PLEASE READ MY FEEDBACK. I HAVE PEOPLE COME BACK TIME AND AGAIN TO BUY, SO I MUST GET IT PRETTY RIGHT. IF THE ITEM DOES NOT MATCH MY DESCRIPTION, I OFFER A FULL REFUND UPON THE SAFE RETURN OF THE ALBUM, SO LONG AS I HAVE BEEN INFORMED WITHIN 7 DAYS OF RECEIPT. I WILL OFFER INSURANCE OVER AND ABOVE THE POST OFFICE NORM IF REQUIRED. PLEASE WAIT FOR A FINAL INVOICE, AS SOME COUNTRIES DO COST MORE THAN OTHERS!! BE ASSURED OF MY TOTAL COMMITMENT THROUGHOUT THE SALE AND AFTER SERVICE, AND I WILL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS WHATSOEVER JUST AS SOON AS I SEE THEM. IF YOU REQUIRE A TRACK LISTING OR EXTRA PHOTOGRAPHS, JUST LET ME KNOW.
SO, AN EXCELLENT PLUS COPY OF THIS FLOYD CLASSIC. IS THERE A BETTER COPY OUT THERE? I HAVE MY DOUBTS. THIS IS A CRACKER. GOOD LUCK IF YOU ARE BIDDING.
