NEW TAX YEAR, NEW SELECTION OF PINK FLOYD RARITIES AND UNUSUAL ITEMS. SELLING A HUGE COLLECTION INCLUDING MANY UK 1st PRESSINGS AND 4 SUPERB A2/B2 SOLID BLUE TRIANGLE COPIES OF "DARK SIDE OF THE MOON". I WILL BE LISTING NEW ALBUMS EVERY 2 WEEKS. ADD ME AS A FAVOURITE SELLER OR KEEP CHECKING OUT THE NEW LISTINGS. SOME REAL GEMS.
For sale here is a super copy of Pink Floyds iconic "Wish you were here" album. Comes with all the attributes of an original first UK pressing.
Matrices are the UK first. A1 / B3. Outer cover is still enclosed in the original shrink-wrap, which covers most of the cover. The inner sleeve has 3 cropped corners. Shine on you crazy diamond (part 5) is credited to Waters-Gilmour-Wright.
Also included in the sale is a totally original tour programme from 1974 (in comic book style). This programme is in fabulous condition for its age. Fully intact with only some age discolouration worthy of mention. A rare item in itself. The original crinkle edged "diving man" postcard is present and in excellent shape. The DVD includes rare live footage, interviews and critical reviews. Excellent. 2 additional postcards are included (shown in the photos). These are pristine. Finally, a cork backed coaster depicting the burning man handshake. Pristine.
The cover grades excellent. Black shrink is mostly whole. Inner sleeve also grades excellent. No damage worthy of calling. The vinyl visually is excellent. In harsh strong electric lighting there are no marks of concern. There are the usual wispy sleeve removal traces (damn those cardboard inner sleeves. Why on earth did they do that?). Now housed in a brand new anti-static inner sleeve. The album has been FULLY play-graded. (vinyl weighs 145 grams). Side 1. Initial very slight background noise in first 8 to 10 seconds. That is pretty much it for side 1. Plays with great clarity and musicality. Love this album. Side 2. The only note I made during the whole of this side was 2 "dust pops" as the side reached the end run out. Almost perfect. Very hard to find a pressing as quiet as this one. They were so prone to surface noise. Mass produced in huge numbers after the success of "Dark side", quality went out of the window a little. Quantity over quality. Not this one!
As a complete and original first UK pressing with the A1 and B3 matrix numbers, black shrink-wrapped cover, and original postcard, I really have to grade overall as a very strong excellent. The additional items included make a great album package even better. One NOT to be missed.
I will post overseas, although not to Russia, Belarus or Ukraine. I have listed the price for UK postage only. As a rough guideline, postage within the EU is around £16. Worldwide is around £25. If it works out to be less, I refund the difference immediately. I DO NOT make anything on the postage. I charge the exact cost (often less) that I pay. I DO NOT charge for packing materials and I try to use recycled packing anyway.  I also dress all my albums in a brand new heavyweight plastic cover and a brand new anti-static inner sleeve. All vinyl is packed outside of the cover and 2 stiffeners are used in transit. I have sold many valuable vinyls over the years and am often credited with Fort Knox style packing. Please bid with peace of mind that what you see is what you get.
If you have any questions, require extra photos (you can only upload 24 on here), please just ask. Album will be posted same day I receive the funds if early enough, or at worst the next day.
