On offer another RARITY by Pink Floyd, the Double LP titled “UMMAGUMMA” and this is one of the earliest 1ST UK Press from 1969 on the HARVEST label without the EMI BOX and with the rae misprint on the label of side 4 "THE GAND VIZIER'S GARDEN PARTY".  The first press sold in small quantities as LPs were really expensive to most people and this double was no exception.

The vinyl has been visually graded in excellent minus condition (one LP) and the other in very good plus condition . Please see below a description of grades and note that this vinyl is 50 years old that has been played and will not transform into anything different to the condition stated .

The Harvest labels without the EMI logo box are in excellent condition. Side 4 has the above mentioned missprint.

The gatefold sleeve with the record "Gigi" in the front is in excellent minus condition with corner wear. The centre of the gatefold has a small dedication.

The spine is in near mint minus condition and fully readable with corner wear.

Visually-graded vinyl: A visual grading will identify physical flaws (such as scratches) and can help determine whether a record has been cared-for properly. A visual grading will not identify noise or crackle caused by non-visible sources. Most of the records I sell are between thirty and sixty years old and so it is likely that there may be some background noise even if they look perfect.
