Pink Floyd
Meddle
1st Press 1971
SHVL 795
Stereo
Here we have a stunning example of a 1st pressing, from 1971 on the iconic Harvest label!
In my opinion, Meddle is the greatest Floyd records and finding a barely decent copy is extremely hard, but here we have a truly MINT 1st press!
This is the very first pressing with the lowest Matrix and stampers and the labels that bear the “Gramophone” text!
The 1st press sleeve is the earliest possible being fully textured both on the outside AND on the inside!
This is your final upgrade with the vinyl looking as good as it did in 1971!

Sleeve Condition.
The 1st print textured G&L gatefold outer sleeve is in really stunning condition! There are no rips or damage to mention! The wording on the spine is still readable with some mild rubbing. All the edges are straight and crisp. The colours are as vibrant as they were on the day of release. There is some very light storage wear to the corners and bottom edge. The inside of the gatefold is near pristine! It’s a really really nice example that won’t disappoint!
Very Good ++
Inner Condition.
The 1st press Harvest advertising inner is in great condition with no rips, tears, seam splits or writing! Just some mild discolouring to mention! Superb
Excellent
Label Condition.
The 1st press Harvest labels are in fantastic condition. There are no rips, writing or stains to mention. Under a strong light only 1 invisible spindle can be seen! Stunning and barely played!
Nr Mint
Vinyl Visual Condition.
The record looks great! It still retains its wonderful shine and lustre after all these years. There are no deep scratches, warping or dulling at all. Under a strong light, only one mild near invisible removals can be seen! It’s that good! I reckon this has seen the turntable maybe only once or twice ever!
Nr Mint
Vinyl Audio Condition.
The record sounds superb on all frequencies! It’s a nice punchy and clear audio throughout! Just a mint perfect playback! “Echoes”, a song always plagued by distortion and crackle sounds utterly sublime. It just jumps of the record with a precise, crystal definition! This is how Floyd should be heard; you can’t help but smile when you hear it!
You will not find a better copy in all your days!
Mint
So there we have it. One of the rarest and earliest presses of Meddle and in the best condition you are likely to ever see!! Final Upgrade Time!!
A Stunning Floyd Rarity!!
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch and I will get back to you as soon as I can.
Happy Bidding
All my records will be sent first class, signed for and insured to their value!
I will package the records with extreme care, with hard stiffeners and the vinyl separate to the sleeve and inner, all housed in a Defenda lock tab record box envelope.
I try to be as honest as I can in my descriptions, taking as many pictures as possible, but if you don’t feel happy with your purchase, I offer no quibble full refunds as soon as the record is sent back. I will not give partial refunds however, only full. I think this is fair, Thanks!
