Description

From my own collection, selling as moving abroad, job lot of 6 -Pink Floyd LPs-  descriptions as follows-

1.  Obscured by Clouds 1972.  Nice copy fully tested & plays ok. Vinyl is excellent I can see no blemishes and the very feintest of spindle marks. Matrix numbers A2/B2 The sleeve has a little rubbing along the bottom from storage otherwise fine.
2. Animals 1977. As above the vinyl has only light marks  and no spindle wear. Tested and it plays ok in the loud parts but crackles in the quiet bits and between tracks. It looks very good and I don't recall playing it much, there is no doubt static has built up and the dry weather probably isn't helping. If someone has access to proper cleaning equipment/static gun I am sure that would help.  Has original black inner with lyrics, The gatefold sleeve has suffered a bit- is splitting along the bottom as pictured. Little bit rubbed along the top. Matrix numbers A5/B5
3.A Momentary lapse of reason. Exactly as above. starts off with crackles and you can hear  noise between tracks and the quiet parts. Visually just lightest of hairline scratches, little spindle marks, still plays ok but I think this also needs anti static treatment and it would play quieter. Gatefold sleeve a little rubbed round the edges. Has original inner with lyrics. A3/B3
4 .Ummagumma 1969. A2/B3/A2/B3 Has some light hairline surface marks and scuffs- so I would say this might be subjective- one mans good is another mans VG. If I were just looking at it tilted to the light I would be 50/50 on grading it.  But it plays great ( if you like weirdness) so based on sound its VG+ maybe even excellent. I don't think this was Pink Floyds finest hour musically. Anyway wish someone could explain me how an LP with some marks plays with pretty much no extraneous noise like this one does, and something that looks visually mint can sound like someone rustling a crisp packet.  It's almost 50 years old. if that doesn't make you feel old nothing will. 50....
5. Relics Starline label A1/B2, Vinyl has some scratches - not deep ones-,  which tally with the spidery spindle marks. Definitely looks like we were drunk in charge of lining up the turntable with this one. Despite the spindle marks it plays reasonable- as in it has clicks and pops as you would expect for an album that has been round the turntable a few times.  It gets better as you play through the tracks.  I would rate it at good, with the sleeve  more at the  good+ end. Put it this way - you know when you play an album and all you can hear is crackly noise and it over powers the music? This album is not like that, any crackles are under the music not over it if that makes sense.The sleeve is textured printed by Garrod & Lofthouse and it has the pinched in ends at the spine. the cream colour is going a bit grubby with age and there is the remnant of the price tag top right corner. Stlll very much playable. 
6. Last but not least Dark Side of the Moon A3/B3 Minimal spindle marks and not visibly scratched. Sounds ok still after all these years. It has been played back in the day, so  it will play with a bit of crackle & pop as you would expect from an album of its age. It is still very good- its above average I reckon.  Poster included, without any pin holes, I managed somehow not to stick this one on the wall. the black of the cover is rubbing off round the edges otherwise OK. 
None of these skip btw.
