Description
For sale here is a first UK pressing of their 1979 album "THE WALL". This has extremely early matrix numbers, A2 B2 A1 B3. These are the 3rd earliest recorded. A huge bonus that it is a superb quality example.
Part of a huge (over 150 albums) Floyd collection I have been asked to sell. I do not have time to play-grade them all, so the assessment is visual. I have been collecting vinyl for over 50 years now, so have a good idea of how an album might sound. Any obvious marks will be noted.
THE WALL.
Early UK first pressing A2 B2 A1 B3. The 3rd earliest matrix combination. This can be confirmed on the superb website "Pink Floyd archive discography".
The vinyl is gorgeous. A deep black lustre and free from any worrying marks. The cover and inner sleeve are in great shape too. This is a rarely played copy and in fantastic condition. The inners are the first variant with the cat number on a single line as shown in the photos. Both inners have a small slit forming to the bottom, caused by the sharp edge of the vinyl disc, but now stored separately.
The record has been visually appraised, and graded as Ex. I can see no reason that this will not play to at least Ex standard, and possibly better than that.
Also included in the sale are quite a host of extras. Some rare, some interesting, but all related to this superb concept album. These are the included extras, all of which can be seen in my photos.
- The original and genuine 1979 tour programme. This is in beautiful original condition.
- A huge poster depicting images of the film and stage production. This measures 85 x 61 cm and printed on heavy quality paper. In lovely clean condition.
- A DVD of the film. In great and clean condition.
- 2 postcards and one sticker "The Wall" related.
- A 9 page magazine pull-out from the era. Includes photos, artwork, interviews and reviews of the album plus general information regarding the band. Not seen this ever before. Also in super condition.
If for any reason the winning bidder is not entirely happy with the sound quality or my description, I offer a full no quibble refund, including postage. Please no attempts at part refunds. I have been down that road far too many times. I WILL NOT part refund. It is all or nothing.
All vinyl is posted out in a new anti-static sleeve and heavy duty polythene cover for the outer sleeves. All in the price. Postage is 2nd class signed for. I post very quickly with extremely robust packaging. Please check out my feedback for highly delighted buyers and return buyers. For overses buyers I will use either Ebays "Global Shipping Programme" which takes care of all import/export paperwork and insurance, or by mutual consent, regular Royal Mail postage. No bids from Russia, Belarus or Ukraine please. I will cancel them as soon as I see them. Thankyou.
I am listing some of a quite large and comprehensive Pink Floyd collection over the coming days and weeks, so please check out my other items for sale, or save me as a seller. If you have any specific Floyd albums you are seeking, just let me know. I have several A2/B2 solid blue triangles, some A3/B2 copies, some other A3/B3 copies plus various other combinations of "Dark side of the moon" and UK 1st pressings of every title they have released, so give me a try!!
Any questions, or if you require more photos, just give me a shout. The only reason I am not play-grading everything is purely down to time. I have over 150 Pink Floyd albums from this collection and simply do not have time to play-grade. However I have been collecting vinyl since the late 60's, so know a thing or two about how a vinyl looks compared to how it sounds..... and with a no quibble refund promised, there is nothing to lose. No risks involved at all. If you decide to bid, good luck and happy bidding.
