PINK FLOYD - THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON
1973 UK 2nd pressing complete with original posters and unused stickers, and truly impressive stereo sound quality throughout
Year/Label : 1973 UK HARVEST Label number : SHVL 804 Matrix numbers : SHVL 804 A-3, SHVL 804 B-3 Stampers : 3 ALA / 1 L11Solid very good plus (VG+) condition vinyl (most would grade as "excellent", I am sure) - flat and retaining a beautiful jet black lacquered sheen, coming across as virtually unmarked in normal daylight and it is only with close scrutiny under a bright light that some extremely fine wispy hairlines and equally fine and light paper scuffs come into view on both sides - obviously nothing feelable, all appearing to be purely superficial and barely impacting upon the overall terrific stereo sound quality (just a few very, very lightest of light and barely noticeable background clicks midway through "The Great Gig In The Sky"). The labels are in excellent plus (EX+) condition - pristine in fact, with not even a single identifiable rogue spindle trail. Clearly this is a record that has been only sparingly played and well looked after. Excellent (EX) condition Garrod & Lofthouse gatefold outer sleeve - firm edges with no scuffing at all, a rigid spine again with no scuffs or "nicks", perfectly defined right angled corners with no rubbing, firm opening edges with no fraying, no creasing, no unwanted writing, and all colours, art work and text remaining in great condition with perfect definition still. The front side circular "PINK FLOYD THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON" sticker remains in perfect condition. The only blemishes (too strong a word) are x2 very, very light and non-obvious surface crinkles emanating from the spine on the front side - otherwise the condition of this gatefold really is hard to fault and remains eminently presentable. Both light matt posters (not super glossy and super smooth as per later pressings) remain in excellent (EX) condition with no tears or pin holes, just the occasional light surface crease and age/storage/handling surface mark, and a small and very light circular mark on the reverse of each corner of the pink/band poster does indicate that at some stage this poster has been in use. The two stickers (both "PERMANENT"/"FASPRINT") are unused and remain in "as new" condition. Truly excellent (EX) stereo sound quality with no sticks, skips, repeats, distortion, obvious clicks or background crackle - wonderful sound quality comprising great tone and crystal clear stereo reproduction throughout. You may just be able to detect a few very, very light and background clicks midway through "The Great Gig In The Sky" but nothing to negatively impact upon a great listen, with side 2 hard to fault. Comes with poly-lined black inner sleeve with "PATENT No..." horizontal text, with no tears or seam splits or age discolouration, and just a little mild creasing. Note that I always ship the vinyl in a new plain white inner sleeve in order to protect the original. A great condition copy of this 1973 UK early press Pink Floyd classic with wonderful stereo sound quality throughout and becoming increasingly hard to find in this condition.
POSTAGE COSTS :
For the UK £3.38 using Royal Mail tracked 48 (ebay "Simple Delivery");
for continental Europe £11 using Royal Mail 1st class tracked and signed for,
and for the rest of the world £17 using Royal Mail 1st class tracked and signed for.
I do provide posting and packaging discounts for multiple purchases. I make no profit from postage.
Note that I always insert the vinyl into a new plain white poly-lined inner sleeve in order to protect the original during postage, and separate this from the outer sleeve to prevent seam splits. I use thick cardboard stiffeners and take great care in my packaging to ensure as far as possible that these precious records reach their destination in exactly the same condition as when they leave me.
If you require any further information, including photos, then let me know and I'll do my best to oblige.
If this record interests you then take a look at my other listings for more 60's and 70's classic vinyl.
A bit about myself : I have been collecting UK vinyl for over 55 years from a variety of sources : my own collection, friends and family, car boot and garage sales, door-to-door leaflets, and even through placing an advert in my wife's shop window! My ebay feedback speaks for itself so rest assured that you are buying from a trusted seller and in the very unlikely event that you are unhappy with your purchase just e-mail me and I will sort out the problem. I offer a "no questions asked" refund policy. If you require any further information, including photos, then let me know and I'll do my best to oblige. There is NO RESERVE on this item. Richard
Descriptions of any records I sell comply with the Rare Record Price Guide grading guidelines.
Slight amendment : of course, being A3/B3 matrices this is the 3rd UK pressing of this Floyd classic and not the 2nd as stated earlier in this same advert.
