Description
Pink Floyd-Dark Side of the Moon (Harvest SHVL 804) UK G/F 1973
Rare first press with the solid blue triangle on the label and the very dark blue,not black cover.Mint freaks stop reading now.If ever i wished an lp was mint it with this one.The LP and sleeve have all sorts of wear and tear but this is an affordable way to obtain one of these highly sought after 'blue prism' originals.The two complete mint copies i've seen recently sold for £1340 and £950! The inserts are missing and the stickers have been stuck on the cover-one each on the back and front.It somehow retained the black inner bag which is torn down one side with the plastic coming loose.Grab it cheap.
Cover FAIR (Considerable edge wear,very worn spine,seam split at openings,beginnings of seam splits top and bottom,fair bit of creasing,name-'Dylan' written on rainbow)
Vinyl Visual Grade G (All sorts of scuffs,marks and hairlines,no deep scratches although i detected 1 jump on 'Money' It gets worse...There is an edge warp on this lp it's quite noticeable and it played ok on my deck both sides,maybe it's possible to fix? So with the warp and the jump taken into consideration it probably grades POOR.What a pity.
Record and sleeve gradings
I have been buying and collecting records for 20 years and I grade records very strictly and carefully under a bright light bulb. Grading is usually visual but I will play grade any part of the vinyl I suspect may cause problems.Vinyl quality varies greatly and some excellent and m- records may not play perfectly and some lower graded records may play much better than their grade.I use the following gradings; M- , EX (Excellent), VG+ (Very Good), VG, VG- and G (Good). I will always try to list specific flaws on a record or sleeve to give you the most accurate impression possible, however, please feel free to ask any questions.
Shipping
Presently,I will ship anywhere in the world.Once posted ,unless it is insured,if you would like your item to be sent registered or insured please enquire.I cannot be held responsible for any missing packages.
Lps will be sent in boxed mailers with stiffeners with the lp removed from the sleeve to prevent seam splits.I will of course,combine postage costs.
Returns
I will now accept returns but the return postage cost must be met by the buyer.

Covers graded first then record.
M-
My highest grade. The sleeve and record will be perfect or just shy of perfect.
EX Sleeve
The sleeve will show slight signs of no longer being perfect such as, very slight ring wear, minor rubbing to the edges, minor creases, very slight ageing, slightly bumped corners and minimal writing etc.
EX Record
The record may display very slight hairlines, scuffs which will not affect the sound in any way. An EX record will look very clean and play very well with only the smallest, most superficial visual flaws visible only under bright light.
VG+ Sleeve
The sleeve may display more obvious signs of wear such as more pronounced ring wear, slight seam splits or the beginnings of seam splits, slightly more worn edges, slight ageing of the sleeve and minor sticker tears. A VG+ sleeve will still be solid and look good.
VG+ Record
The record will have been used but it has still been well cared for but will have slightly more pronounced surface marks than an EX grade record. Overall it will be a very clean looking and sounding LP.
VG Sleeve
The sleeve will start to look a bit worn and typical defects may include seam splits, water damage, small tears and larger creasing etc.
VG Record
The record will be visually well used but still not abused. There will be no marks feelable with a fingernail and it should still play through with minimal surface noise, some clicks and pops are possible, nothing too bad..
VG- Sleeve
The sleeve will have the type of wear described in a VG sleeve but will be more pronounced still. The cover at this grade will be well worn, but not trashed.
VG- Record
The record looks fairly well worn and will have many noticeable marks and the vinyl may now have marks that can be felt by a fingernail but not too many. The record will still play through without skipping or jumping although surface noise may be present, especially in quieter parts.
G Sleeve
The sleeve will be starting to look a bit tatty with tears, stains, and many of the defects noted above.
G Record
The record has seen better days. It should still play through, but it won’t be pretty.
