YOU ARE BIDDING ON A SUPERB CONDITION FIRST UK PRESSING DOUBLE VINYL RECORD
PINK FLOYD "THE WALL"
EMI HARVEST 1979 SHDW 411
My record is in really fantastic condition. The sleeve is pristine, with no visible marks to back or front, and no discolouration. It is the creamy colour, with one wraparound piece of card sealed at the top just inside the gatefold sleeve, graphics by Gerald Scarfe. It has the first press misaligned bricks. The spine, with no print, is perfect and unmarked. There are no band credits on the inside of the sleeve, just 'Words and Music by Roger Waters'.
Included is the clear vinyl 'Pink Floyd The Wall' sticker which is separate to the record, but clings to the cover. It's very hard to find as the sticker often got lost on many copies. This is also in immaculate perfect condition.
Both thick card inner sleeves with 9" thumb notch opening and rounded corners are in perfect condition.
The track listing on the card inners are in a different order to those on the picture record labels, as is the case with the first pressings.
Both vinyls are really highly glossy, with only a couple tiny marks if you look very closely, but really look in near mint/mint condition.
The only flaw which makes it not mint is a small area on side 2 which is slightly hazy. This is the only way I can think to describe it- it's just a faint area which is not quite so shiny, but is definitely not scratched, play is not affected. I think this has been there since new, so was probably in the manufacture. But it does not detract from the beauty of this 41 year old record, extremely hard to find in such immaculate condition, including the title sticker.
The album code number is SHDW 411 Record 1 - OC-15863410 SHSP 4111 Record 2- OC-15863411 SHSP 4112
The matrix numbers are-
Side 1- SHSP 4111 A-2U TML-X Side 2- SHSP 4111 B-2U TML-M Side 3- SHSP 4112 A-4U TML-X Side 4- SHSP 4112 B-2U TML-M
Your record will be sent with both vinyls in 2 new polylined white inner sleeves, and a brand new gatefold outer heavy duty vinyl glass outer sleeve. It will be very safely packed in a proper record mailer with stiffeners, and will be posted First Class with full tracking. I can also post Worldwide, with full tracking and signature on delivery.
Thank you for looking at my listing, this is a rare chance to obtain this original record in such wonderful condition, the starting price reflects that this is such a rare opportunity, this record is for serious collectors.
I think I've covered everything, but any questions, please ask and I will do my best to answer!
