In my experience WYWH is one of the most problematic Pink Floyd LPs with regards to its pressing and subsequent audio quality.
I have found that even mint looking first pressings can play with lots of excessive clicking, surface noise and even distortion (with the first solo guitar break on "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" being especially problematic in this regard).
Many, many copies of this album have passed through my hands over the years so I understand these issues all too well.
I am therefore pleased to report this copy sounds excellent.
Side 1:
Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Part One)
Welcome To The Machine
Side 2:
Have A Cigar
Wish You Were Here
Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Part Two)
LABELS: EXCELLENT+
Clean, unmarked labels - light/moderate spindle traces
VINYL Visual: VERY GOOD+/EXCELLENT
Some marks are visible, especially on Side One - most likely caused by the card inner but none of these have any significant audible impact
VINYL Audio: EXCELLENT
Plays beautifully throughout with little to fault - some low-level surface/light ticks (most notable on "Welcome To The Machine") - nothing too major and nothing I found intrusive - nothing else of note - superb sound quality - all told a fine playing copy and these are hard to find
SLEEVE: NEAR MINT/ SHRINK WRAP: VERY GOOD
The 'pinched spine' cover still retains the original black shrink wrapping with the WYWH sticker - the black wrap is split but it has never been removed
INNER SLEEVE: NEAR MINT
Clean and white - no seam splits
POSTCARD: MINT
Perfect condition
