This is a one owner original first UK pressing in near mint condition.It is Pink Floyds first number one album in the UK and the first one to not feature the band's name on the cover, or contain any photographs of the band anywhere. Some later editions have the title and artists name added to the cover.
The vinyl is bright and glossy with minimal spindle wear and plays through with no jumps.
The cover is excellent with little signs of wear or discolouration and free from any tears, splits stickers or ink marks
It has it's original Harvest Records promotional picture inner sleeve.
A rare opportunity to own a completely original first UK pressing in such good condition with no stickers, stains or ink marks and including, I imagine, an immaculate, rare, if not completely scarce original newspaper cutting from the time.
It will be posted by Special Delivery given it's importance and value.
