ABOUT THIS COPY:
Matrix / Runout (Side A runout, stamped): SHVL 804 A-2 Matrix / Runout (Side B runout, stamped): SHVL 804 B-2
The Gatefold sleeve is in very nice condition- a fantastic 'inky' blue/black colour as mentioned above (see photo of this sleeve on top of a later release 'pure black' sleeve for comaprison and verification) - it has a little storage and handling wear (a little rubbed away on top edge) but still very, very, presentable - inside the gatefold is clean... please see all photos
The original poly lined black inner is present , verfiied as original as having polythene lined die cut black semi-matte paper with printed text stating 2 patent numbers bottom left [1125555/1072844] and 'MADE IN GREAT BRITAIN' bottom right. The sleeve is in great order, although there is a small split to one side
2 original glossy posters - never hung; excellent all round
2 original stickers with 'FasPrint' and 'Crack-Back' on rear; very clean, no creases - superb - see photos.
Labels with the solid blue prism , both have a few light squiggles around the centre from past use; side two has mark, very clean - no names / pen marks etc.
The vinyl - both sides show very little signs of past use - visually it is very clean and barely any detectable surface marks, no deep scratches - side 2 has some small marks near the end, and in the dead wax there is wear from over-running (see photos) - overalll it as certainly better than would be expected for its age; very nice condition ... please view the photos and the clip
How does it play? Please watch and listen to the 1 minute clip as this gives a fair indication!
My play test... Side one - a bit crackly at the build up (always is in my experience, tbh), then lighter crackle through the quiet sections (very much in the background)...then , from Run for your life onwards it sounds absolutely excellent; still punchy and brilliant, a few crackles on gig...
Side two - Money kicks off with a bang - loud n proud, excellent; then Us and Them...superb for a quiet track! just a little light crackle right at start, but when it builds it makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end...the listening experience is largely excellent; there are a few light ticks caused by the small marks mentioned above, but only for a very short time - overall it is a superb listen!
SO, a much prized, sought after, collectable , complete 1st UK press of the iconic Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon - often selling on eBay auctions for over £1k...
