Grade: Very Good +
Played through nicely with no jumps or sticking or skips and no loud pops. There was the occasional tick and light background noise which dies off when the music amplifies. Audio still really punchy and powerful not like rubbish CD and MP3 versions. Remember the 1st Press Solid Triangle pressings are the best quality audio out there! Pleasant copy to listen to and is certainly not trashed like many copies are these days.
Gatefold:
Midnight Blue Gatefold with original sticker on the front. Only the very first pressings had the Midnight Blue cover and the sticker which reads "Pink Floyd The Dark Side Of The Moon".
Light ware to the opening edges of the Gatefold sleeve. A small corner bump on the top left and right corners. There are the odd spider stress lines. No graffiti or rips or tears.
When the gatefold is opened one side is glued shut.
Back Cover has Inverted prism. In the upper right corner, it says: " SHVL 804, (IE 064-05249), stereo." Inside Cover is Black with heartbeat and lyrics. "Printed and made by Garrod and Lofthouse Ltd." in blue text in lower left corner.
Very Good ++
Posters:
2 unused posters of the Pyramid and Band.
Excellent condition.
Stickers:
2 original and unused stickers which have the 45 degree lines on the back with FasPrint Removable as well as "Crack Back Patented" and "Bend On Line"
Excellent condition.
LP comes with a generic black inner sleeve, this is not a patent pending one.
