TITLE: THE WALL
FORMAT: DOUBLE VINYL LP
DESCRIPTION: LOVELY COPY OF THIS 1979 UK 1ST PRESS DOUBLE LP. FIRST ISSUE MATRIX SHSP 4111 A2-U/ SHSP 4111 B3-U/ SHSP 4112 A2-U/SHSP 4112 B2-U.
THIS COPY IS IN FIRST-RATE CONDITION AND HAS BARLEY BEEN PLAYED.
SPECIFIC TO THIS 1ST ISSUE GATEFOLD SLEEVE IS THAT THE BAND MEMBERS AREN'T LISTED ON THE INSIDE COVER. IT ONLY SAYS 'WORDS AND MUSIC-ROGER WATERS. EXCEPT...'. LATER PRESSINGS ADDED OTHER BAND MEMBERS CREDITS.
THIS COPY ALSO HAS THE CREAM COLOURED WALL, NOT THE LATER TRUE WHITE ONE ON LATER PRESSINGS.
ALSO THERE IS NO BARCODE ON THE BACK COVER.
INNER SLEEVES ALSO HAVE THE WALL DESIGN WITH LYRICS ON. THEY ARE THE 1ST PRESSING INNERS WITH ROUNDED CORNERS AND A THUMB NOTCH ACROSS THE TOP.
RELEASED BY HARVEST RECORDS, CATALOGUE NO. SHDW 411.
CONDITION:
VINYL: ALL 4 SIDES HAVE JUST THE ODD SMALL MARK WHICH ARE VERY HARD TO SEE EXCEPT IN STRONG LIGHT. THE PHOTOGRAPHS REALLY DO NOT DO THEM JUSTICE. AUDIO REPRODUCTION IS NOTHING SHORT OF STUNNING. INSTRUMENT SEPERATION IS AWESOME, VOCALS CRYSTAL CLEAR, AND ALL PLAY WITHOUT ANY SNAP, CRACKLES AND POPS!!! BEING SUCH AN EARLY PRESS, THESE VINYLS ARE AS CLOSE TO THE MASTER AS YOU WILL EVER GET, SO EXTRAORDINARY AUDIO REPRODUCTION SHOULD BE DISCERNABLE- AND HERE IT MOST CERTAINLY IS. OVERALL STRICT GRADING IS NEAR MINT.
LABELS: EXCELLENT PLUS. ONLY MINOR SIGNS OF BEING PLAYED. HOLE IS NICE AND TIGHT.
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT . UNMARKED, STURDY WTH JUST VERY MINOR AGING ALONG THE SLEEVE OPENING, IF YOU WANT TO BE PICKY. THE INNER GATEFOLD IS CLEAN AND BRIGHT. ALL THE COLOURED ARTWORK IS VIVID. THE REAR IS CLEAN.
INNER SLEEVES: NEAR MINT.BOTH IN SUPERB CONDITION WITH NO MARKS, SPLITS TEARS, OR CREASES.
OVERALL A MARVELLOUS COPY OF THIS CLASSIC ALBUM!!
