ABOUT THIS COPY:
Matrix / Runout (Side A runout, stamped): SHVL 804 A-2 GGT 4 Matrix / Runout (Side B runout, stamped): SHVL 804 B-2 PO 2
The Gatefold sleeve is excellent - a fantastic 'inky' blue/black colour as mentioned above (see photo of this sleeve on top of a later release 'pure black' sleeve for comaprison and verification) - has a little storage and handling wear but not too much - inside the gatefold is clean... see all photos
The original poly lined black inner is present , verfiied as original as having polythene lined die cut black semi-matte paper with printed text stating 2 patent numbers bottom left [1125555/1072844] and 'MADE IN GREAT BRITAIN' bottom right. The sleeve is in great order, although there is a small split on one side
2 original glossy posters - never hung; have some creases but excellent all round
2 original stickers with 'FasPrint' and 'Crack-Back' on rear; a little discoloured on front but very clean on rear - see photos. Lovely condition
Labels with the solid blue prism , both have a few lines around the centre from past use; side one has a couple of marks, side 2 very clean - no names / pen marks etc.
The vinyl - both sides show light signs of use - only surface marks, no deep scratches, as would be expected (tried to show some in photos, but barely there). The LP is Still in excellent condition visually overall
How does it play? Please watch and listen to the 1 minute clip as this gives a fair indication!
My play test... Side one - a bit crackly at the build up (always is in my experience, tbh), then lighter crackle through the quiet sections (very much in the background)...then , from Time onwards it sounds excellent; still punchy and brilliant
Side two - Money kicks off with a bang - loud n proud; then Us and Them...superb for a quiet track! just a little light crackle right at start, but when it builds it makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end. From then on the rest of the listening experience is largely excellent - superb!
SO, a much prized, sought after, collectable , complete 1st UK press of the iconic Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon
