PINK FLOYD Dark Side Of The Moon SEALED 2nd Pressing VINYL LP SMAS-11163

Thanks for looking at my listing, which is for a very rare, still sealed US pressing of the incredible Dark Side of The Moon album by Pink Floyd. This is apparently the second issue from 1973, according to information I found on a very exhaustive Pink Floyd discography website. This is also a promo copy, as noted by the punch hole in the top right corner. See details below for more info.

The jacket has beautiful, sharp corners, with only the top left exposed and lightly scratched at some point by a cat. There are also small tears in the shrinkwrap on the front near the bottom and along the title spine. There are a couple areas of minor wear along the opening of the gatefold along the spine.

As the vinyl is still sealed, I cannot guarantee the condition of the record or the inserts, but it should be near mint with 2 stickers and 2 posters. This is a piece of music history. Please keep that in mind should you choose to open it. I cannot accept the LP returned if opened.

Feel free to write with any questions, and I will respond as soon as I’m able. US Buyers only please. I will take great care to package the LP so it arrives to you damage free, but I cannot control what happens to it once it leaves my hands. Shipping cost includes insurance for the value of the LP should you need to make a claim.
