	£		77
	$		102

For sale here is a super copy of Pink Floyds iconic "Dark side of the moon" album. Comes with all the attributes of an original early UK pressing. Black gatefold cover, original, no barcode etc. Solid blue triangle on the labels. Matrices are A5 and B5. (5 / TO  &  4 / LH). Correct EMI paper inner sleeve. Both posters.

This is a quite lovely example of this iconic and highly collectable album and has quite early mother and stamper combinations. What is very unusual to find, is a copy with the vinyl in exceptional condition like this one. The only real signs of it being played is the odd light spindle mark to the labels.  No marks on the vinyl worthy of note. Just missing the stickers. I will give a detailed description of each part below.
The cover:                  Original and genuine black cover, correct for the album pressing, no barcode. This is a lovely example of this often damaged original cover. There is almost no indication of shelf-wear or damage to the spine. The internal is pretty faultless too, and a lack of disc impression. A really beautiful and solid example. I grade this cover as at least excellent (Ex). 
Inner sleeve:                      Really nice example of the original company paper inner with "care of your record" text. No splits, tears or damage. Just some very light creasing that is minimal considering its age. Has a hint of age discolouration I grade the inner sleeve as strong very good plus (VG+)..
Posters:             Both posters are present. Both are in great condition. No pin holes. No blue tack. No splits, rips, tears or issues. I grade both posters as excellent.
The labels:                  The iconic prism labels are in really good shape. There are a couple of light spindle trails to both sides when viewed at an angle in good lighting. No rips or stains. To be safe because of the spindle marks..... I grade the labels as VG+.
The vinyl:                Really the vinyl is the cream of this copy. Visually I can see NO marks of note of any kind aside of a couple of wispy sleeve removal hairlines. The vinyl has a wonderful depth of shine and a gorgeous black lustre. Rarely have I seen one as clean as this. I seriously can find no faults worthy of mention. As a visual appraisal,  I grade as a solid excellent plus (Ex+).
PLAY-GRADING:-                    The audio on this copy is fantastic. It is extremely close to being without fault. I made the following comments in my play-grade notebook:- The notoriously difficult heartbeat intro plays in near silence. The whole of side one plays without fault. Silent between tracks and quieter passages. An absolute joy to listen to. Side two is every bit as good. I commented on the silence throughout. My only other notation was right at the end of side two as it ends, where there is a hint of background noise. This is absolutely minimal as a fault. Over the two sides there are NO skips, NO sticks, NO clicks or pops and NO surface crackle. This is probably the cleanest copy I have heard. Ever.
The sound throughout is dynamic and vibrant. Clarity and detail are sensational. This is an incredible sounding album and would grace any collection.
As a complete and original early UK pressing with the A5 and B5 matrix numbers, low mothers and stampers, correct cover, inner and posters, I really have to grade overall as at the very least excellent. Somebody is going to be very happy!!

I will post overseas, although I have had issues in the past from both Russia and Mexico, so will not post to either. I have listed the price for UK postage only. If an overseas ebayer wants this, please contact me before bidding to discuss postal options. I would expect postage within Europe to be around £17, tracked and for the rest of the world around £27. I DO NOT make anything on the postage. I charge the exact cost (often less) that I pay. I DO NOT charge for packing materials and I try to use recycled packing anyway. If the postage cost is less than my quoted figures, I will refund the excess as soon as I have the exact price. I also dress all my albums in a brand new heavyweight plastic cover and a brand new anti-static inner sleeve. All vinyl is packed outside of the cover and 2 stiffeners are used in transit. I have sold many valuable vinyls over the years and am often credited with Fort Knox style packing. Please bid with peace of mind that what you see is what you get.
If you have any questions, require extra photos, please just ask. Album will be posted same day the payment is made if early enough, or at worst the next day.
