Description
Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon - UK 1st Press vinyl SHVL 804.
I have 2 copies of this magnificent record. I am selling now the more complete one with better vinyl quality. It has all the internal parts that it was sold back then. The posters are the glossy type ones. The stickers are intact and complete. All matrix and number codes are on the pics, in case of doubts do not hesitate to contact me.
Condition:
- The vinyl: EX to EX+ visible sleeve removal marks and some light scratches not effecting playback audio quality, by hearing validation it is very good sound with very slight popping sounds at the begging of the record. I have recorded it on cassette with a Nakamichi CR7 deck and sound fantastic. There are slight crackings but the slight scratches that the record has not taking away the enjoyment this record will cause for you!
- The cover: VG to VG+, visible ring wear and marks of age.
- Posters: NM (glossy type ones)
- Post cards: NM
Conclusion:
Please consider it is a 50 Years old record and this one has its ware signs but the sound is exceptional! I am not saying this is the best possible condition, I am saying by experience as i have a lot of vinyl that this copy sounds very good and in case you are not into only the visual element of the cover but the audio quality too then you should definitely consider this. I know a lot of copy has been put up on ebay of this record (I follow all of them for at least 5-6 years now) but to be honest you cannot find this record without slight scratches or some visible markings, i think the prices anyway too high for this record, but my minimum price the bidding is starting from is the price i definitely want for this record >>> or i will never sell it. This is my private collection and I am not keen on selling it, I am not in for the money, I have 2 copies so why not make someone else happy too?
Unfortunately, I cannot put more then 12 photos but in case needed i can send some extra photos.
It will be packed very carefully and the vinyl will be removed from the cover not to harm the cover during transportation. Only registered courier is possible and the price can vary from the given post costs. Please contact me before bidding if you have doubts.
Details from discogs:

3. A-2/B-2 matrix stamps appear in the runout area.
4. There are 1 ink variations used for printing sleeve blue/black .
5. There are 3 sleeve opening variations. 1. The right front opening of the gatefold cover is sealed with the two sides glued together. 2. The right front opening of the gatefold cover is sealed with a fold over flap that is glued inside the opening. 3. The right front opening of the gatefold cover is not sealed.
6. Inner sleeve is a distinctive polythene lined die cut black semi matt paper with white printed text stating 2 patent numbers bottom left [1125555/1072844] and 'MADE IN GREAT BRITAIN' bottom right.
7. Posters and stickers were printed on either matte or gloss paper
8. Stickers may have printed backs with diagonal lines across them, and the words 'Fasson' 'FasPrint' and 'Crack-Back', or plain white backs with the word "Permanaent"
9. Some copies came with a small round sticker on the front cover stating "Pink Floyd The Dark Side of the Moon" (confirmed for stampers GL/MO). Early cover stickers are a lighter, faded grey-purple/blueish colour and measure ~67mm diameter, later cover stickers are a darker black and measure ~62mm diameter.
10. Some early copies have a manufacturing defect on the track Money, where the song skips. This only appears to affect some records made with A2/B2 stampers
