Description
For sale here is a first UK pressing of their 1975 album "WISH YOU WERE HERE". My personal favourite from the band. I find it a bit more musical and less whimsical than "Dark side". Just my view!!
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.
WISH YOU WERE HERE.
Very earliest UK pressing A1/B3. There is none earlier. The cover is in super condition, mostly encased within its loose original black shrink-wrap, leaving just small sections of the cover exposed. These small areas have light discolouration obviously. The shrink covers a good 90% of the cover and is in good shape. The handshake hype sticker is lovely. The cropped corner inner sleeve is very clean and almost perfect. A small rub area is appearing at the bottom edge. The vinyl itself is in great condition too. No marks that are worthy of note, so this should play well. The postcard is present and in pretty much perfect order. I have included another 2 cards as a little extra. Both are near mint. Finally, a superb piece of Pink Floyd history. A 100% genuine and original souvenir tour programme from the 1974 promotional tour. This is in great shape with only the lightest handling marks. These fetch good money as a stand alone item, but nice to have it present with a first pressing. Undamaged and very rare in this condition.
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. If for any reason the winning bidder is not entirely happy, 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 Royal Mail first class signed for. This costs £5.55, but I only charge a flat rate of just £5. Win win! I post very quickly with extremely robust packaging. Please check out my feedback for highly delighted buyers and return buyers. Overseas buyers will need to use the Ebay "Global Shipping Programme". This takes care of all import/export paperwork and insurance. Not cheap, but from my experience, works well. I WILL NOT POST TO RUSSIA, BELARUS OR UKRAINE. ANY BIDS WILL BE CANCELLED.
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.
