Description
Welcome to my auctions....The time has come to sell my huge record collection over the next weeks/months...so check out my other vinyl listed, more added each week.
I am a private collector, selling my collection, I am not a dealer.
Pink Floyd - The Dark Side Of The Moon - Transitional Pressing - Earliest 2nd UK Pressing - Released in very short numbers after the 'Solid Blue Prism' Label was changed. Only A very small amount were pressed with 'The Gramophone.Co.Ltd' rim text, soon followed the more common EMI Records rim text Very Rare LP
SHVL 804
1973
SHVL 804 A-3
SHVL 804 B-2
Side 1 and 2 both have some scuffing and a few light hairlines, no deep scratches but unknown how it will play (background noise etc)
Labels are both clean and free from damage and wear, under strong artificial light there are spiders legs Side 2 label has minor wear to the raised circle groove around the spindle. Both labels have the THE GRAMOPHONE CO. LTD text.
Original 1st press Gatefold Sleeve with Blue Tint has some wear to spine, corners and edges, wear to opening edges (feathering). Front and back have light rubbing marks But is overall solid and clean, Inside is Stickered and clean and tidy. Not perfect but a nice example of this 1st issue sleeve.
White Inner Sleeve is creased and slightly worn to top edge.
No Posters or Stickers
Super rare 2nd press, Certainly not perfect but a rare record.
I will describe any flaws such as wear to sleeves, scuffs, marks or scratches to vinyl and describe them honestly, if you expect a better condition than I have listed then you need to learn to read. I will grade based on visual inspection under artificial light, I will not listen to every LP, I will listen to the rarer ones and give a play grading. PLEASE remember this is Vinyl...even brand new vinyl can have clicks and pops...that's part of its charm...if you want perfect audio without background noise...how about CD's or MP3's?
Due to my poor hearing, The record is sold as visually inspected/graded so please base your bidding solely on this.
With that said....many rarities will be listed, some fair condition some near mint.
Any questions...please ask.
Will be posted Tracked and Insured to UK and Worldwide
Premium quality record mailers will be used with 2 sheets of additional cardboard.
