Description

Pink Floyd – The Dark Side Of The Moon

1973 UK second issue (A3 B3)  Powder Blue outline triangle, with "Gramophone Co Ltd" label rim text.
These copies were produced for a short time only, between first pressing and first repress, featuring earliest use of the new black Harvest light blue outline prism label design. (the same powder blue as the UK 1st issue with the solid blue triangle - this would later be changed to a darker turquoise blue)
These early transitional pressings, still have on labels the rim text starting as "The Gramophone Co. Ltd", and have been found with vinyl matrix A2/B2 or A3/B2 or A3/B3.    this one is A3/B3

Gatefold cover of these copies come with two shade of color: midnight blue or black.   (1st issue, Midnight Blue cover)
Many copies have been released with a sticker on front, although some do not have it.   (there is no hype sticker, as the band intended)
The front cover has two different types of front openings:
- The right front opening of the gatefold cover is sealed with the two sides glued together.
- The right front opening of the gatefold cover is not sealed. (Both sides of the gatefold are open)
The rear top right corner has the text (IE 064 o 05249) between SHVL 804 and "stereo" is centered (later copies have it left aligned).
Comes with both of the original poster inserts.
The midnight blue cover is VG+ The labels are EX The vinyl is EX The audio is EX
