🌫️ PINK FLOYD – Obscured By Clouds – Canada mid-70s Harvest LP ST-11078 / SW-11078 EX
🎸 Pink Floyd – Obscured By Clouds
📀 Canadian Harvest pressing, manufactured by Capitol Records-EMI of Canada Limited

💡 Glossy Canadian sleeve + clean VG++ to EX vinyl

🎧 Why people want this pressing
-
Warm, punchy Canadian Capitol mastering with “MASTERED BY CAPITOL” in the deadwax.
-
Quieter vinyl than many UK-played originals.
-
Still carries the 1972 ℗ credit and the film subtitle on back, so it looks like an early copy in your rack, but you don’t have to baby it like a fragile first press.
Perfect if you love this era of Floyd — Childhood’s End, Wot’s… Uh The Deal, Free Four — and you want an analog copy to actually spin.
🎶 A beautiful EX Canadian Capitol/Harvest reissue of Obscured By Clouds, with glossy Canadian sleeve, clean playable vinyl, and correct SW-11078 / ST-11078 pairing. A great-sounding Pink Floyd import from the mid-’70s — and a smart way into analog Floyd without paying first-press money.
