THIS IS AN ORIGINAL EARLY RELEASE OF 'THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON' BY PINK FLOYD ON THE HARVEST RECORD LABEL.
The vinyl is graded visually in very good condition, none of the marks are feelable wuth the exception of one in the last track of side 1. I have played the record on my humble equipment and sounds much better than it looks (these early pressings were well pressed), the feelable mark plays through without problem just producing some crackle which is also noticeable in the quieter part at the start of side 1. Please see below a description of grades and note that this vinyl is over 52 years old that has been played and will not transform into anything different to the stated condition.
The labels are in very good plus condition with a signature on side 2.
The early press sleeve has the original sticker and is of a different colour to later ones, it has ring wear and some damage on the back side as seen in the photos.
The spine is complete but mostly feathered.
The EMI printed inner sleeve is in excellent condition.
Photos are of the actual item.

Play-grading MONO records: Mono records and stereo records have different grooves. A stereo record produces a stereo sound via both lateral and vertical groove modulation whereas a mono record is not intended to produce any sound from vertical modulation. Playing a mono record with a stereo cartridge will create distortion because it is trying to pick-up the vertical (stereo) part of the signal, whereas this is not intended to be heard on a mono record and so is just noise. Using a pre-amp with a mono switch will eliminate the noise caused by vertical modulation leaving just the lateral groove signal which is how the record was intended to be heard. If you do not have a mono switch on your amp or pre-amp you will be reproducing the noise from the vertical part of the signal and so the record will not sound as good. This is not any fault of the record, it is inherent to playing any mono record through a system that it was not designed for.
