“EL LADO OSCURO DE LA LUNA”

(THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON)

WOW!!! WOW!!! WOW!!! MEGARARE and HARD-TO-FIND Odeon Records second “SERIE POPULAR” STEREO issue, first press, released, made and distributed in Chile in 1973 by Industrias Eléctricas Y Musicales Odeon S.A. (Odeon Records Chile, an EMI company), licensed from The Gramophone Co. Ltd., with red/black EMI/Odeon Records labels, catalog number SLDC-36831, with matrix numbers SHVL 804 A-3 5 in Side A and SHVL 804 B-3 3 in Side B. Yes Sirs, ANOTHER FIND FROM CHILE!!!

“THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON” was originally released in 1973 and the same year we got it here in Chile and we got 3 issues in 1973 with many different presses!!! And we got them with and UNIQUE NON-GATEFOLD COVER!!! Yes!!! In Chile the non-gatefold cover is mostly made of two single sheets of heavy paper (or thin cardboard) kept together by an outer plastic bag which’s part of the cover. If you know Chilean albums of the period you should know the kind of cover I’m talking about. In this issue the cover is that kind of cover but the outer plastic bag was removed, so the single sheets are separate. This issue appears in the site of Vernon Fitch like “third issue”.

Front cover keeps the original artwork with black color and the colors in the rainbow of the prism are only 4: yellow, light orange, orange and red. Back cover is totally different, it’s black with white letters, in the top right corner is the Odeon logo with the catalog number and in the top left corner is the tracklist in English translated to Spanish with credits for each song. Under the tracklist are the credits for the album and text in Spanish, and the lyrics of all songs in English. At the bottom it says: “Marca Registrada. Fabricado y Distribuido por Industrias Eléctricas y Musicales Odeon, S.A. Casilla 186-D – Santiago (Chile)”. Yes, yes, yes… Here it’s another REAL FIND, another rarity from South America, another UNIQUE press from Chile!!! A REAL SECOND ISSUE of “The Dark Side Of The Moon” released in Chile with UNIQUE COVER!!! But that’s not the only rarity, in back cover it says “ROGERS WATERS” and it has the lyrics for “Breathe reprise” as part of “Time”. And more!!! In labels the song “Breathe” is written “Breathe in the air” and the song “Brain damage” is misspelled “Brian damage”!!! WOW!!! A MUST TO HAVE!!! How many copies like this exist? We don’t know, but we know this is REALLY ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND in playable conditions!!! And here you have the chance to get this MEGARARE PRESS of another rock classic album!!! And see the pictures, in both back cover and labels you can read “SERIE POPULAR”!!!

Remember, “THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON” released in Chile in 1973 has an UNIQUE COVER and the record I’m selling now it’s not the common issue, this is the MEGARARE first press of this second issue!!! And keep in mind all the UNIQUE ERRORS in this press!!! WHAT A FIND!!! And the best thing is the nice condition of look and audio!!!

The cover was already described and it’s in VG or VG+ condition the front cover, clean and clear, complete, no missing parts, no writings, with light ring marks, moderate wear in all edges, more evident in corners, and some creases. As already informed the outer plastic bag was removed. The record is in VG- or VG condition, glossy and clean, but with loads and loads and loads of hairlines and scuffs and light scratches which prove this record saw many plays, but they almost don’t affect sound. Labels on both sides are in absolute EX+ or NM- condition, clean and clear, with only light spindle wear in Side A and a big “C” written with red pen in Side B. The sound is in great VG- or VG condition both sides, loud and clear, but with some soft background noise (background noise was normal in most of records pressed in Chile), mostly evident in silent parts, with constant crackles and soft pops here and there, which don’t distract from the great sound (I guess it only needs a good vacuum cleaning to get a better sound quality) this album keeps. In Side B in the first 30 seconds of “Money” I detected 3 jumps, but all the rest of the album plays great!!! Overall a so rare record like this, it has to be A MUST FOR Pink Floyd collectors and fans, not many times seen in this red/black “Serie Popular” labels and this time you have the chance to own this MEGARARE PRESS!!! Maybe this record needs a professional vacuum cleaning to solve the problem with those jumps, but even with the jumps there, it’s really great to hear. Anyway, if you like Mint copies, this is not for you, that’s a fact. But if you are a serious collector you already know this copy is A MUST TO HAVE no matter the condition, INCREDIBLE FIND FROM CHILE AGAIN!!! Click on the pictures to enlarge and see the labels and cover in detail. WOW!!!

Bid with confidence and don’t wait until the last second because you could lose the chance to get a real collectable record from Chile (South America) in superb condition like this copy is. You know South American records aren’t easy to get in good conditions, so HAPPY BIDDING and don’t let this record to go away… you could never see a so good copy of this record again… if you are lucky enough to see even another copy again…

Thanks for watching and bidding, good luck and best regards from Chile

_________________________________________________________

We don’t use the generic “VG” most of South American sellers use to hide poor quality conditions or “NM” or “Mint” for records which aren’t even clean and sound less than a normal “VG” in professional standards. We use the Record Collector’s Grading System with a little modification: we don’t use MINT grade but for Sealed records and we can use a + or – to show a most professional accurate description.

MINT (M): I only use this grade for Sealed records.

NEAR MINT (NM): The record itself is in like new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality (only some very very very light hairlines caused for the record rubbing the sleeve). The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in like perfect condition.

EXCELLENT (EX): The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality, maybe some surface marks which doesn’t affect play. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

VERY GOOD (VG): The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD (G): The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.

FAIR (F): The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump.
The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.

POOR (P): The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

BAD (B): The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.

We don’t have anything to hide and we know the buyers expect to receive feedback after to pay for the items they win. Most of sellers say to give feedback when buyers leave feedback first.
