Description

Pink Floyd - The Dark Side Of The Moon
Stereo / Quadraphonic (SQ)  First Australian 1973

(SQ) Will split to Two channels on a Stereo system, or Four channels on a Quad system.
Stunning audio throughout.

An early Original Australian SQ pressing from 1973 with laminated sleeve, with no lifting laminate.
That is a rarity in itself.

This particular copy has some of the best audio I have ever heard on this album, especially clear background detail  -  all the quiet talking and background detail is very pronounced and clear throughout.

 I deal with this album often and on all levels of collectors pressings, and I am truly amazed by this particular copy.
I do not mention these qualities unless they are worth mentioning, and this one is definitely The best Aussie Quad or Stereo pressing I have ever heard, and one of the best of any pressing full stop.
Particularly clear pressing of audio finesse.

The bitterness of poor quality will be remembered long after the sweetness of a low price has faded from memory....



Please check out my other listings, as I am letting go a significant part of my own record collection, (lots of Floyd) and some fantastic Pink Floyd memorabilia.

A fair bit more yet to list, including more rarities from Pink Floyd - like a rare PF11 UK (First XI Vinyl Box set)  with both DSOTM and WYWH Picture Discs.

Grading 

MINT = MINT:   The piece it is describing is Sealed or undamaged in any way. unquestionably perfect.

NM = NEAR MINT. 
    The piece it is describing is unsealed, but shows no significant sign of deterioration and looks as it was when it was new.

EX = EXCELLENT  (VG+)    The piece it is describing shows some slight signs of deterioration, use or slight wear. 

VG = VERY GOOD:    The piece it is describing has obviously been used, but has been well looked after, displays no significant deterioration, just normal wear.

G = GOOD:    The piece it is describing has been used so much that it has noticeably deteriorated, but with only minor blemishes.


Good is still Good, - I do not sell below this grade unless the label is in high demand and short supply.



F = FAIR:    The piece it is describing is still usable but has not been cared for properly and displays obvious signs of deterioration.

P = POOR:    The piece it is describing will function properly, but shows signs of significant damage or deterioration.

BAD = BAD:    The piece it is describing is unusable, missing or damaged beyond repair and does not function as intended.
