Description
PINK FLOYD
Wish You Were Here
1975 UK HARVEST WHITE LABEL TEST PRESSING.
PERHAPS THE RAREST OF ALL THE PINK FLOYD COLLECTABLES AND MAYBE ONLY A HUNDRED OR SO PRESSED UP. OFFICIAL RELEASE COPIES HAD THE LATER MATRIX OF 'A1'/'B3' AND THIS IS THE FIRST EVER PRESS AND NEVER COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE. BOTH SIDES HAVE THE '1' AND 'G' MOTHER STAMPS IN THE RUNOUT GROOVE OPPOSITE EACH OTHER.
THE TEST PRESSING WAS PACKAGED IN A WHITE CARD SLEEVE AND PAPER INNER.
MATRIX No. ~ SHVL 814 A1~SHVL 814 B1
SEE PICTURES 5 and 6 FOR 'B1' MATRIX DETAIL.
IN ORIGINAL WHITE CARD SLEEVE.
OVERALL CONDITION
SLEEVE ~ VG++
VINYL~ Probably G+/VG-
PLEASE READ LISTENING SUMMARY BELOW.
LETS CUT TO THE CHASE~ THIS IS ONLY GRADED AS G+/VG- THE VINYL SHOWS SURFACE SCUFFING BUT NOTHING FEELY AND EXHIBITS A CRACKLE THROUGHOUT. IT IS AT ITS WORST AS THE LP STARTS ON SIDE ONE BUT DIMINISHES AS THE TRACKS PROGRESS THO' OBVIOUS IN THE QUIETER PASSAGES. THE SAME CAN BE SAID FOR SIDE 2 ESPECIALLY IN THE ACCOUSTIC PART OF 'Wish You Were Here'. BUT THE MUSIC IS UNDISTORTED AND THERE ARE NO CLICKS OR REPEATS.
PERHAPS A PROFESSIONAL CLEANING MACHINE WOULD HELP.
PLEASE REMEMBER THIS IS A VERY RARE PIECE OF FLOYD HISTORY, POSSIBLY THEIR RAREST VINYL PIECE AND AN IMPORTANT ARTIFACT ADDITION TO COMPLETE ANY FLOYD COLLECTION.
THIS IS AUCTIONED AT A REASONABLE STARTING PRICE AND NO RESERVE.
PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION ABOVE AND BID ACCORDINGLY!
GRADING I grade records firstly visually and sample aurally for overall sound quality. Should you feel I have misgraded please remember that I offer a full NO QUIBBLE REFUND!
VG~~not great and will have spindle wear, surface noise and crackles but I will flag up this grading rarely. However, NO deep felt scratches and it should track OK on your deck. This will do till a better copy comes along but is probably worth it for rarity value.
PLEASE BID ACCORDINGLY.
Postage ~~orders over £25 will be sent registered in the UK and INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR or TRACKED (where available) world wide. It costs a bit extra but I am sure you will agree it is worth it.
Postage discount will be applied to 2 or more purchases.
For UK add £1 for EUROPE add £2 and REST OF THE WORLD including USA and ASIA please add £3 per extra LP.
All orders guaranteed professionally packed.
