Description
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here (VG/VG) UK 1st Issue (A1:B3) Vinyl Record LP.
Sleeve looks great. Some edge wear. Small pen mark at bottom of front cover in the middle. Graded VG.
After multiple more careful listens I’ve decided to downgrade the grading of this record to VG to err on the side of caution. There’s various bits of surface noise (mostly some light crackling) on the record despite most of it playing really well. feel more comfortable saying it’s a strong VG, rather than VG+ if that makes sense. It’s still a fantastic play copy with some crackling in some of the quieter sections.
First issue.
Released with the cover hidden under black shrink wrap with a round Wish You Were Here sticker on the outside of the shrink wrap. Spine is narrow (pinched) at the top and bottom and wide in the middle on some covers LIKE THIS ONE! and uniformed on others (like all spines). Issued with lyrics on a die cut inner sleeve and a glossy postcard, with jagged edges, of a diving man. (not included with this).
This version's inner sleeve is die cut on 3 of the 4 corners. Another version is die cut on all corners.
On label side 1, Shine On You Crazy Diamond Part 5 is credited to "Waters-Gilmour-Wright" (later have "Waters" only).
Opening at top center with notch.
Matrix variants A1 / B3 are the first press of this record, other matrix are further pressings but still first issue of this LP.
