Description

Hello Fellow Ebayers!
I'm a collector I really don't sell professionally, however from time to time i let things go.  Hate to let it go... with post pandemic i must pay some bills so i'm thinning out my UK classic rock vinyls collection just a bit.
PINK FLOYD - WISH YOU WERE HERE - 1st PRESS - UK  A1/B3 matrix EX(-)/EX A very nice 1rst release to own. Still sounding very good for this 45+ year old copy. The sleeve removal lines that make it a VG++  on side 1 idb are from former London owners ( where i purchased from a dealer) taking the vinyl in and out of the cardboard insert over time .

(FYI : I check the audio on all my vinyls using a Stanton T.92. I monitor USB digitally through a professional Focusrite A/D convertor, audio LR monitor out to  studio monitors.)

Identifying markers and  1975 A1/B3 first issue facts to look for:

There were as many as 15 or more variants of the first issue A1/B3 matrices.

Matrix variants A1 / B3 are the first press of this record, the various additional  stamped markers on the runout grooves are showing further pressings in 1975  but still first issue of this LP.
