Description
Pink Floyd – The Dark Side Of The Moon (1974 UK 5th Pressing)
**Catalog Number:** SHVL 804
**Matrix / Runout Numbers:** SHVL 804 A-8 (HTM) / SHVL 804 B-7
Up for sale is a highly desirable early UK pressing of Pink Floyd's masterpiece. This is the celebrated 5th pressing, famous among audiophiles for its incredible sound stage. Both sides feature master cuts by legendary EMI engineer Harry T. Moss, confirmed by the hand-etched "HTM" initials in the dead wax.
This copy features the classic light-blue outline prism labels with "The Gramophone Co Ltd" rim text on the left, "EMI Records Ltd" at the top, and "Pink Floyd Music Publ." credits below the tracks.
### Condition Grading (Goldmine Standard)
* **Vinyl Condition: VG+ (Very Good Plus)**
The vinyl retains a beautiful, deep glossy mirror shine. Under direct light, there are only a few faint, superficial sleeve-removal wisps. No deep scratches or nasty marks. Spindle holes are crisp with minimal wear, indicating it has been played very few times and handled with absolute care.
* **Sleeve Condition: VG (Very Good )**
Original 1970s single-pocket UK gatefold sleeve (sealed flat on the left side). The spine is solid and fully legible. The inner lyrics and iconic heartbeat graphic are beautifully clean with no heavy ring wear. Minimal shelf wear to the edges and corners. No splits, writing, or tape.
"Does not include posters/stickers - vinyl and sleeve only."]
### Shipping & Packaging
The record will be professionally packaged in a heavy-duty, cruciform vinyl mailer with the record removed from the outer jacket to prevent spine splits during transit.
Worldwide shipping available via eBay Global Shipping Programme.
