Description
You are bidding on an early UK pressing of Pink Floyd's iconic 1973 album "Dark Side Of The Moon" on the Harvest label.
According to PinkFloydArchives, this edition is likely a fourth pressing as it contains the matrices SHVL 804 A-5 (side A), and SHVL 804 B-5 (side B) in the deadwax and was probably released sometime in early 1974 as it has the "Pink Floyd Music Publ." text instead of "World Copyrights Ltd." on the bottom of the triangle on the label. These early UK Dark Side pressings have become highly collectable over the years, and would make a fine addition to any Pink Floyd fan or audiophile's collection.
The record is in EX+ condition, and is close to NM. No marks or hairlines are visible on the vinyl. The album has been play tested and contains no skips, jumps, or crackles. It does have some very slight occasional background noise inherent in this particular pressing, but nothing that distracts or gets in the way of the music.
The jacket is in VG+ condition, and only contains slight signs of handling and minimal ring wear on the back.
This copy contains the original two UK edition posters (no stickers), both in excellent condition. The pyramid poster does have a slight wrinkle on the right hand edge (see photo), but nothing major.
