The Wall is a rock opera that centres on the character "Pink". Largely based on Waters' personal life, Pink struggles in life from an early age, having lost his father in war ("Another Brick in the Wall (Part 1)"), abused by teachers ("The Happiest Days of Our Lives"), nurtured by an overprotective mother ("Mother"), and deserted by his wife later on ("Don't Leave Me Now") - all of which factored into Pink's mental isolation from society, figuratively referred to as "The Wall" !!!!.

IMPORTANT NOTE! From my personal experience the earliest mother stampers make all the difference for the best audio quality! Later stampers produce a more incipede\bland sound!, The audio on this album is truly TOP! TOP! ON ALL FREQUENCIES!
The Vinyls
Both vinyls look awesome and lay perfectly flat on the turntable and are free of any warping.
The Vinyls
It is quite obvious that on initial inspection that these vinyls look almost as new, and it is very dificult to see that these have ever been played at all! It is in fact very hard to see a blemish on the playing surfaces at all!!    Any marks that could be possibly be seen looked under strong light would be light whyspy sleeve removal marks only! In fact both vinyls look and sound like they have only ever been played one or two times ever!!! Try to find better 1st issue after 28 years!! Points to note!! These vinyls have been stored seperately in poly sleeves during its storage life which has preserved these vinyls all of these years this is how i have always stored my vinyls!!!!  
  The Labels
All four are awesome (no) nasty marks  and are extreemely clean look as new in my opinion I can just barely see that this has even been played! in fact I can just about see two or three spider marks on the labels!!! If it has it would only be two or three times if that!!! Quite unbeleivable for a 30 year old original 1st press!!! (no) spindleware the holes are perfectly round!! SEE THE CLOSE UPS IN THE PHOTOS THIS IS SO RARE TO FIND ON EARLIEST ISSUES!!!!
The inner record sleeves.
These are the original 1st press lyric sleeves  ) feature the cataloge numbers (only early press!! Top examples!!!Must be at least excellent! All vinyls are stored seperately from these sleeves, in poly lined sleeves!
 The Cover
This is the original ((1st issue))) unlaminated gatefold cover! features slightly missalighned bricks at the front and rear of the cover! (only 1st issues) Also importantly on the inside of the gatefold features ''Words and Music Roger Waters (except waters Gilmour)'' in the same box\brick (only 1st UK issue) later issues, thisd text was changed! Very Very hard to find in this condition!! (no) real creases to mention Hardly any storageware or ringware you have to look hard for any!!Only if scrutinised in strong light can any small inobtrusive rubbing be seen and very light storageware indeed (hardly noticable)! You really have to look for them (no) rubbing at the edges and sharp corners!!! Lovely and clean!!(An important feature is that there is barely any yellowing with age this is generally lovely and white!! More importantly (no) ringware as the vinyls have been stored seperate from the cover all these years to prevent this!!!

I USE THE FOLLOWING GRADING SYSTEM 

Strictly Graded - RECORD COLLECTOR Grading System

MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint. 
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing. 
VERY GOOD: 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: 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: 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: 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: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
