Description
SUPER RARE PINK FLOYD "DARK SIDE OF THE MOON"
ORIGINAL 1973 UK 1st Pressing on the ULTRA RARE 1st Press 'Solid Blue Triangle' Harvest label!!!
THIS LP IS RARE AS HEN'S TEETH AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!! One of Floyd's rarest & most sought after albums!!!!
Earliest pressing made with key differences to later pressings as follows:
FIRSTLY THE MATRICES ON THE RECORD ARE THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS MATRICES - ENDING IN A2/B2. SECONDLY THE LABELS ALSO HAVE THE CORRECT 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS 'GRAMOPHONE COMPANY' LABEL EDGE TEXT (LATER PRESSINGS HAD THIS CHANGED THIS TO 'EMI RECORDS' TEXT INSTEAD!). THIRDLY THE RECORD LABELS HAVE THE ULTRA RARE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS 'SOLID LIGHT BLUE' TRIANGLE ON BOTH SIDES WHICH WAS IMMEDIATELY CHANGED TO THE COMMON 'TRANSPARENT' TRIANGLE (WHICH APPEARS ON ALL LATER PRESSINGS!) AS THE TEXT WAS HARD TO READ (AND IT DIDNT MATCH THE COVER!). FOURTHLY THE 'STICKERS' (ONE INCLUDED) HAVE 'PERMANENT' IN RED PRINT ON THE REVERSE, AND CARRY 'WAVE BREAKS' (LATER ONES DON'T!)! FIFTHLY THE INNER IS OF THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS TYPE - BEING BLACK, 'DIE-CUT', TEXTURED, 'POLY LINED' AND HAVING 'SILVER' PATENTS PRINT ON ONE SIDE (LATER ONES DON'T!). LASTLY THE COVER IS ALSO A 100% GENUINE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS COVER TOO BEING VERY DARK BLUE INSTEAD OF THE LATER BLACK, AND 'FACTORY SEALED' AT ONE END (LATER ONES ARENT!) THIS IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE ONLY A TINY HANDFUL OF THE 'EARLIEST POSSIBLE' 1ST PRESS COVERS ONLY WERE EVER PRESSED BEFORE BEING ALMOST IMMEDIATELY CHANGED TO A JET BLACK 'UNSEALED' COVER INSTEAD, AND IN FACT THEY ARE EVEN RARER THAN THE ACTUAL 'SOLD BLUE TRIANGLE' RECORDS THEMSELVES AS THE COLOUR ON THE COVER WAS CHANGED EVEN BEFORE THE 1ST PRESSING RUN ENDED. THIS IS THE 'EARLIEST' & RAREST 1ST PRESSING OF THIS AMAZING LP THAT YOU CAN POSSIBLY GET!
LP IS IN VG+ CONDITION WHICH IS GRADED TO REFLECT VISIBLE SURFACE HAIRLINE SCRATCHES. PLAY GRADED (AUDIBLE SCRATCH ON TRACK 1 SIDE 1 FOR FIRST MINUTE ONLY). APART FROM THAT OCCASIONAL VERY LOW LEVEL INFREQUENT STATIC DUST CRACKLE, HOWEVER THE LIGHT SURFACE MARKS DO NOT AFFECT OVERALL PLAY AT ALL AND SOUND QUALITY OF THESE FIRST PRESSINGS IS SO MUCH DEEPER AND RICHER THAN LATER COPIES!!
SLEEVE IN VG+ CONDITION (STRONG SPINE, SLIGHT WEAR TO INSIDE EDGE SEAMS AS WOULD BE EXPECTED BUT NO ROUND DISC MARKS ON FRONT COVER.
ORIGINAL DARK BLUE COVER!!
POSTERS MISSING, 1 SET OF ORIGINAL STICKERS INCLUDED.
