Description
PINK FLOYD "A Momentary Lapse Of Reason" 1987 UNPLAYED
UK EMI, G&L GATEFOLD, LYRIC INNER, NM/EX SOUND
PINK FLOYD
A Momentary Lapse of Reason
ORIGINAL UK EMI (EMD 1003) PRESSING (September 1987) OF PINK FLOYD'S "A Momentary Lapse Of Reason"
THIS COPY IS IN GREAT CONDITION HAVING POSSIBLY NEVER BEEN PLAYED (the labels are clean and unmarked with no spindle traces or signs of use) AND IT DELIVERS JUST ABOUT THE FINEST AUDIO I'VE HEARD FOR THIS TROUBLESOME PRESSING
PRESSED WITH THE FIRST CUSTOM EMI PICTURE LABELS
MATRIX NUMBERS:
Side One: EMD 1003 A-2U-1-1- (stamped), EMD 1003-A2 (etched), DMM (etched), DD (stamped), Precision (etched)
Side Two: EMD 1003 B-3U-1- (stamped), EMD 1003-B3 (etched), DMM (etched), DD (stamped with the first D crossed out), Precision (etched)
THE RECORD IS HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL MATT GATEFOLD COVER "Sleeve printed in England. Manufactured in England. RB8709HP" WITH FOLDED UNDER AND FACTORY SEALED LEFT EDGE AND A VERY THICK SPINE
COMPLETE WITH THE ORIGINAL LYRIC INNER SLEEVE (side opening with thumb notch)
Track Listing:
Side 1: Signs Of Life / Learning To Fly / The Dogs Of War / One Slip / On The Turning Away
Side 2: Yet Another Movie / Round And Around / A New Machine Part 1 / Terminal Frost / A New Machine Part 2 / Sorrow
LABELS: The picture labels are clean, bright and unmarked with no evident spindles or signs of use - in my opinion this copy is completely unplayed - MINT
VINYL Visual: Both surfaces retain their original deep, like-new glossy sheen. There are a couple of light, superficial brush marks caused by the inner sleeve but these have no audio consequence and a small mark on the edge of Side Two which is audible (see below) - NEAR MINT/EXCELLENT+
VINYL Audio: Outstanding audio delivery in every respect. The music covers an amazing dynamic range from the almost silent ambient detail (such as the oars gently dipping into the water at the beginning of the LP) to the loudest crescendos and all frequencies are bright and clear with a beautifully rich, warm and tremendously powerful sound.
Latter day Pink Floyd LPs can be very problematic regarding the pressing/audio quality but this copy plays to just about the highest possible standard with just a little surface noise on the run-in/beginning of the first track on Side Two (which soon subsides as the music proper begins) and some light clicks/pops (again, on Side Two) most noticeable on the quieter track segue sections - but this is still without doubt the cleanest pressing of this LP I have ever heard. Critically graded a NEAR MINT (side one) and EXCELLENT (side two) for audio quality. Any PF collector will know how difficult it is to find a decent playing copy of this pressing and as in my opinion this one has never actually been played before today and it still has audio issues it just goes to show how hard it is to find a good one.
SLEEVE: The gatefold cover is in beautiful condition - no real wear to speak of on either the edges or spine and just one light crease to the top corner - EXCELLENT+
INNER SLEEVE: The original lyric inner with opening side edge notch is NEAR MINT with no splits to any of the edges and little evidence of actually ever being handled. As always, the LP is now housed - and will be posted in - a new inner to prevent any 'knifing' damage to the original during transit

I will combine postage for items purchased within any 10 day period. However, at the end of each 10 day period, all outstanding items will need to be paid for in full and will be posted to you. Any items purchased after payment will be included in the next 10 period. I am continually adding new items which may be of interest to you and it is impractical for me to allow payment to be postponed indefinitely in the expectation that you might wish to bid on future items. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation
Guarantee: I endeavour to be as accurate and honest as possible when describing the condition of any LP but of course if you feel that I am mistaken and the description is inaccurate I will offer a complete, no quibble refund (through Paypal) upon return of the item.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to a recent spate of bidders with no feedback not paying for records I must insist that all bidders with 0 feedback contact me first before bidding to confirm their genuine intention to buy the record otherwise their bid will be cancelled and they will be blocked. Sorry to sound so authoritarian but non payers are a real waste of not only my time but genuine eBayers
ALL RECORDS ARE PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED BEFORE DISPATCH AND PACKAGED WITH THE VINYL OUTSIDE OF THE SLEEVE TO PREVENT ANY 'KNIFING' DURING TRANSIT.
A PROTECTIVE POLY SLEEVE, QUALITY CUSTOM MAILER AND STIFFENERS ARE ALWAYS USED TO ENSURE THAT YOUR RECORD ARRIVES SAFELY
I will email you when payment has been received to let you know when the item will be posted. Please leave feedback upon receipt of the item so that I know you have received it safely. Any problems please email me. Thanks
