	A$		400
	$		265

  EMI Records 1st issue of PFB1 Box Set   (11 Albums with 12 vinyl records including 2 x SQ Quadraphonic)

 In my gradings below, I have been a fairly harsh judge.... all of these albums could be described as Mint, but I fool you not... 8 of these albums are perfect... and 2 have the smallest of defects, but would be described as mint by most people... the Dark Side of the Moon is perfect other than a crease (dammit)... and you would never tell it has been played.. I just know I did a couple of times (10 - 15)...

Mint is mint...it must be perfect to get this rating.... I can see no visible defects anywhere... These are as new.... or in this case... better than new. (Even new records from the record shop were not as perfect as these are!!)

Near mint means tiny fault to the cover... like obscured by clouds has a small area of tiny indents on the album cover, only visible when viewed on an angle with the right light... shallow tiny impressions... so not mint, ...but still a lot better than what we got from the record shops!!!

Wish You Were Here has a lot of white on the cover, and the white is very nice and clean but it is not perfect, but because of the large areas of white, this album is near on impossible to find in perfect condition... this is as good as it gets, and it really is as good a copy you will find.... every other aspect is perfect... this is very harshly judged but easy near mint ++

DSOM has been played, but no marks on vinyl, and the cover has a 3cm crease... so excellent... not near mint... harsh again, but still in amazing condition.

All albums other than Dark Side of the Moon, are unplayed.

All albums have shiny beautiful vinyl and all have mint labels and spindle holes....   All covers have mint spines with sharp edges.

And the Quadraphonic Atom Heart Mother is just beautiful, and so rare in this condition.   :)

Beautiful set ready to frame, play or collect....and these records are becoming a great investment.

See below for further details and gradings to each album and the protective box they came in.

See my other items, I have an extraordinary fully signed "The Wall" movie poster... and keep a look out in future, as I let some of my Pink Floyd collection go every now and then, as it is a constantly evolving beast that needs refinancing when I find something new.... (I want Roger Waters remote control flying pig from the current tour... lol... I have seriously enquired about it, but they are all pre-sold at over $60,000.00 each!!...proceeds to a war vetrans charity...good onya Roger.)
