Pink Floyd - "Dark Side Of The Moon" 1981 Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs audiophile pressing Half-speed mastered by the great Stan Ricker
FREE U.S. Shipping!
Few people are aware that there are actually TWO different pressings of Mobile Fidelity's "Dark Side Of The Moon". The original pressing was released in 1979, and can be identified with the "ORIGINAL MASTER RECORDING banner not italicized. The 1981 re-pressing has an italicized banner. This is the 1981 pressing. I honestly don't can't hear much of a sonic difference between the two, they both sound fantastic. Yes, I also have the 1979 pressing, but not selling it at this time.
Now, I am NOT the original owner of this pressing, and it is "well loved". No skips or major issues, just more tics and pops than one would expect from a MoFi pressing. But despite the extra bit of surface noise, this is an amazing pressing. The cover definitely has some wear, but no split seams. These factors contribute to the lower than normal price.

MY CLEANING PROCESS
Every album, whether I purchased it new or used, gets the same cleaning process. The record(s) you are purchasing has undergone this process, unless it is still sealed.
> Each side is cleaned with Terri-Kleen fluid using a MoFi cleaning brush. Used records get cleaned a bit longer.
> All fluid is vacuumed off using an Okki Noki record cleaning machine.
> The record is then ultrasonically cleaned using a Degritter MkII record cleaning machine. Most records get a 3 cycle clean, audiophile and rare records get the maximum 4 cycle cleaning.
> The Degritter MkII then dries the record - no cloth drying here, which often creates static electricity.
> The records go in a new inner rice paper inner sleeve. MFSL records get a new MFSL sleeve. What's the point of cleaning a record and then putting it back in the same dirty sleeve?
> Records are put in a new outer sleeve to protect the covers, unless specified. New records do not get outer sleeves - they are still in the shrink wrap.
> All records are shipped OUTSIDE of the cover to help prevent split seams. New records are not. If you would like a sealed record to be shipped outside of the sleeve, just let me know. Of course I have to open the record in order to do this, so it is technically no longer new after that.
I ship USPS Media Mail. If you would prefer FedEx or UPS, let me know and I will add that option to the listing. Additional shipping charges are your responsibility. Check my feedback - As a collector with over 6000 albums in my personal collection, I know how to properly ship vinyl records.
