Ticks all the boxes for a complete original 1st issue 1975 UK LP, 'Waters/Gilmour/Wright', Track 5/Side 1; postcard with correct cat no. and serrated edges; original black shrink with hype sticker! ; A1/B3 MATRIX AND 2 MOTHERS Inner sleeve is made off stiff card and has 3 off corners diagonally cut - its all there!
The black shrink wrap has the round title sticker still in place.... rare to have it! - It is in condition commensurate with its age and use , some stretch marks , creases , and splits , and it has shrunk a bit, still fits over the cover but fragile! (see photos)
As a result, being kept inside the shrink, the sleeve is nice; very clean.... with a bit of handling wear and fading to outer edge
The 3-corner cut inner is excellent , no rips , no rubbing and just a few light handling marks and creases - see photos
Postcard is not written on , it has serrated edge genuine first issue cat.no.- a very little foxing stain on rear
Labels are excellent , no major usage marks visible, no ink marks - super
Both sides of the vinyl are very clean, have a good sheen - there are some scuffs/hairlines as you would expect ; they are very much on the surface though, no deep scratches. I tried to capture a couple in the photos... all round visually it is still great... It sounds great too - No jumps , No loud pops ,some occasional light static and crackle , in quietest moments where you'd expect, and track build ups (at start and title track for example) - - I have tried to capture a fair assessment of the powerful sound in the video clip - please view/listen to it. Overall it sounds fantastic!
PLEASE VIEW ALL THE PHOTOS AND THE CLIP, A 7-DAY AUCTION AND NO RESERVE...OR A VERY TEMPTING? BUY IT NOW PRICE BEFORE BIDS COME IN...
