Description

On offer here is a VERY rare LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by Pink Floyd called "Wish You Were Here" and is an ORIGINAL 1975 UK 1st Pressing on the 1st Press Harvest label!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!!  THIS IS ONE OF PINK FLOYD'S RAREST & MOST SOUGHT AFTER LPs EVER - AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE LIKE THIS!!!!  JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE!!!!  IT IS ONE OF THE MOST SOUGHT LPs ON THE HARVEST LABEL - AND IS INCREDIBLY HARD TO LOCATE TODAY!!!!  BUT WHAT MAKES THIS LP REALLY SPECIAL IS THAT IT IS IN ABSOLUTELY AWESOME CONDITION, STILL HAS ITS ORIGINAL 'BLACK OUTER SEAL' & STICKER - AND IS A 'PROMOTIONAL COPY'!!!!  AND THIS IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ON THIS LP!!!!  WHEN THIS LP WAS FIRST RELEASED BACK IN 1975 - ALL 1ST PRESSINGS WERE SEALED IN A BLACK PLASTIC 'FACTORY SEAL' AND HAD A 'WISH YOU WERE HERE' STICKER PLACED ON THE BLACK PLASTIC ON THE COVER FRONT!!!!  HOWEVER - BECAUSE THIS LP WAS 'FULLY FACTORY SEALED' - YOU HAD TO BREAK THE SEAL TO PLAY THE LP!!!!  NATURALLY - 99.9% OF 1ST PRESSINGS HAD THE BLACK SEAL & STICKER COMPLETELY RIPPED OFF AND THROWN AWAY - AS BUYERS SIMPLY WERE UNCONCERNED WITH KEEPING IT, AND SIMPLY WANTED TO HEAR THE AWESOME MUSIC!!!!  HOWEVER - THIS LP IS ONE OF THE RAREST 1ST PRESSINGS YOU WILL EVER SEE - AS IT WAS RECIEVED DIRECT FROM THE FACTORY BY A 'MUSIC REVIEWER', WHO ONLY EVER ACCESSED THIS LP JUST ONCE - AND NEVER TOUCHED IT AGAIN!!!!  NATURALLY HE ACCESSED THE LP BY OPENING THE RIGHT HAND EDGE - BUT LEFT THE 'BLACK SEAL' COMPLETELY UNTOUCHED OTHER THAN THIS!!!!  OF COURSE - OVER THE YEARS (DESPITE BEING KEPT IN THE PLASTIC SLEEVE SINCE NEW!) THE BLACK SEAL HAS 'SHRUNK' SLIGHTLY ALONG THE BOTTOM RIGHT EDGE (CAUSING A COUPLE OF MINOR SEPARATIONS HERE), BUT IS SUPERBLY SOLID IN ALL OTHER RESPECTS!!!!  THIS OF COURSE IS NATURAL SHRINKAGE - AND COMPLETELY UNRELATED TO WEAR!!!!  AND MOST IMPORTANTLY OF ALL - THE 'WISH YOU WERE HERE' STICKER IS STILL PROUDLY AND PERFECTLY STUCK ON THE COVER FRONT BLACK PLASTIC - EXACTLY WHERE IT WAS PLACED IN THE FACTORY BACK IN 1975!!!!  AND I CANNOT OVER STATE THE HUGE RARITY OF FINDING THIS LP STILL WITH ITS ORIGINAL 'BLACK PLASTIC FACTORY SEAL' & COVER STICKER!!!!  JUST HOW MANY EXIST LIKE THIS TODAY IS ANYONES GUESS - BUT I AM VERY CERTAIN THAT IT IS WAY WAY LESS THAN 1%!!!!  IN FACT - I WOULD GO AS FAR AS TO SAY THAT FOR EVERY 500 COPIES LISTED ONLINE - ONLY 1 OUT OF THOSE 500 WILL STILL HAVE IT!!!!  IT REALLY IS THAT RARE!!!!

OF COURSE WHAT MAKES THIS LP EVEN RARER STILL - IS THAT IT IS A 'PROMOTIONAL COPY' SENT DIRECTLY TO A MUSIC REVIEWER FROM THE FACTORY (WITH A 'PROMOTIONAL STICKER' ON THE COVER BACK!)!!!!  HE SAID HE ONLY ACCESSED THE LP JUST ONCE - FOR REVIEW PURPOSES ONLY!!!!  HE COULDNT EVEN REMEMBER IS HE PLAYED THE LP OR NOT!!!!  AND EVEN A CLOSE UP INSPECTION OF THE CENTRE HOLES REVEALS NO PLAYS AT ALL AND ZERO SPINDLE MARKS!!!!  SO IF IT DID GET PLAYED FOR REVIEW - IT WAS INCREDIBLY CAREFULLY INDEED, AND THE ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM THIS LP HAS BEEN PLAYED - IS JUST ONCE!!!!  IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND THIS LP IN THIS AMAZING CONDITION - AND IT WILL SURELY BE A VERY VERY LONG TIME (IF EVER!), BEFORE YOU SEE ANOTHER ONE LIKE THIS AGAIN!!!!

IT IS WORTH MENTIONING THAT THIS PROBABLY LP DATES FROM LATER IN 1975 (LATER IN THE CHART RUN) - AS THE MATRIXES ARE NOT A-1 B-3, THOUGH IT DOES HAVE 1ST PRESS 'EMI RECORDS' LABEL TEXT (LATER CHANGED!)!!!!  IT IS OF COURSE CONTINUOUS FROM THE VERY 'DAY OF RELEASE' (PRESSING NEVER STOPPED ON THIS LP!) SO BY CALLING IT A 'STANDARD' 1ST PRESSING SOMETIME AFTER RELEASE - I HAVE BEEN PRETTY CLEAR HERE!!!!  OF COURSE WHEN THIS LP IS FOUND IN THIS AMAZING CONDITION - THAT IS RATHER IRRELEVANT, AS THIS LP IS ALMOST NEVER SEEN LIKE THIS!!!!  THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1975 UK 'PROMOTIONAL' STANDARD 1ST PRESSING ON THE 1ST PRESS HARVEST LABEL, 1ST PRESS 'PICTURE' INNER SLEEVE, 1ST PRESS COVER, 1ST PRESS 'BLACK PLASTIC' FACTORY SEAL, 1ST PRESS 'PROMOTIONAL STICKER' ON THE COVER BACK, AND 1ST PRESS 'WISH YOU WERE HERE' FRONT COVER STICKER!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!!  This is the ORIGINAL Harvest UK 1st Pressing from 1975 and is in AWESOME condition!!!!  The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl!!!!  The Cat. No is SHVL 814 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press Harvest label (see picture) and is a UK Stereo 1st Pressing (there were NO Monos!)!!!!

The record labels are in AWESOME condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and NO spindle marks AT ALL!!!!  IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!!  The vinyl is in AMAZING condition!!!!  Most of these 60s/70s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable.  This one is NOT and has NO scratches, NO hairlines, NO scufflines, only 2 or 3 ULTRA light TINY surface traces, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND LOOKS AMAZING!!!!  It is also great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, and barely ANY crackle AT ALL!!!!  The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!!  The record must grade MINT(Minus)!!!!  AWESOME RECORD!!!!  Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!!  I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!!  Brillant!!!!  The record comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press 'Picture' inner sleeve which is in absolutely AWESOME condition and most importantly UNSPLIT!!!!  The ORIGINAL 1st Press 'Factory Sealed' Cover (+Sticker!) is in AWESOME condition!!!!  Of course - 95% of the cover is still 'Factory Sealed' (and will be MINT!) - but the remaining part of the cover has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, barely ANY corner wear AT ALL (NOT through the colour), barely ANY creases AT ALL (cover is VERY flat looking indeed!), NO ringwear, NO rubbing, and NO writing!!!!  The opening edge is beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL!!!!  Even the back of the cover is in AWESOME condition with NO grubbyness, NO yellowing, NO rubbing, NO ringwear, and NO writing!!!!  The cover must grade Excellent++++ if not MINT(Minus)!!!!  AMAZING COVER!!!!  The Black Plastic Factory Seal has been FULLY described above and is in BRILLIANT condition - and the ULTRA RARE 'Wish You Were Here' cover front sticker is MINT!!!!   THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!!

Though there are rarely ever any problems with my items (I always try my very best to describe everything exactly!) - PLEASE REMEMBER to contact with me FIRST, if you have any problems at all, before you leave feedback and star ratings, so I get a chance to turn any negative experience into a positive one!  I can always happily sort anything out for you, if you let me know you have a problem!  This way no one has to leave Negative/Neutral feedback - and we both walk away happy!  Please do NOT bid if you cannot give me at least 1 chance to sort everything out to your FULL satisfaction in the unlikely event of a problem.  Thanks again - Graham @ XXXRecords.

PLEASE NOTE - Private feedback bidders must consult me first prior to bidding - due to previous problems regarding non-payment, and non-receipt.   MY POSTAGE UNDERCHARGE GUARANTEE TO ALL BUYERS (I always undercharge on postage!):-  Due to UK Royal Mail's obscene price increases this year - I have had no choice but to increase postage charges a little.  Until this year - I had kept them exactly the same since I joined ebay back in 2002.  However this years price increases have been so obscene, that I have had no choice but to increase my postage charges for the first time ever.  However PLEASE NOTE - my absolute 100% guarantee to you as a buyer - is that I will ALWAYS undercharge postage on everything I send out.  Even after the increases, I am still charging you the buyer LESS than I am being charged myself.  On each package I send out - the price is clearly stated on the front of the package (please check it when you recieve it!).  I also do NOT charge for packaging costs - ONLY for postal costs!  And should you find that I have overcharged you postage in ANY way - I will refund DOUBLE the difference.  THAT IS MY 100% POSTAL GUARANTEE FOR EACH AND EVERY BUYER!  No buyer EVER deserves to be overcharged on postage - and on my listings, I'll make sure they are ALWAYS undercharged.  Any questions - please ask!
