Description
This auction is for an original copy of the 1973 12" double LP vinyl record A Nice Pair by Pink Floyd.
This is a compilation of Pink Floyd's first two albums 'The piper at the gates of dawn' and 'A saucerful of secrets' which was released after the success of 'Dark side of the moon'.
This is the original first release matt gatefold sleeve "Made and printed in Great Britain" with the front "W R Phang Dental Surgeon" picture (withdrawn from later issues due to strict advertising laws).
Pressed on two quality heavyweight records (much thicker than later pressings) with the first yellow/green Harvest labels with "The Gramophone Co Ltd" rim text (this was changed to "EMI Records" shortly afterwards).
This comes complete with the original earliest inner sleeves (one blue, one greeen) which have square cut corners and top opening thumb notch (these inners were only issued in the earliest pressings and most inners are found with rounded corners).
1973 Harvest (EMI Records Ltd) - Made in Great Britain

CONDITION
The vinyl records are in EXCELLENT condition - The labels just have some slight marks around the spindle holes and there are a few very light surface marks. Side 4 can only be considered as VERY GOOD condition as there are two small scratches on track 3.
The album sleeve is in EXCELLENT condition - There is some slight wear on the corners and edges. There's also some slight surface wear on the front above the word Pink Floyd.
The original printed dust sleeves/inners are in EXCELLENT condition - They are both unmarked but the green one has a small tear on the bottom edge seam.
Record Collector magazine definitions of condition:
MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
