PINK FLOYD - The Dark Side of the Moon
Very early UK pressing on Harvest Records - A3/B3 matrix
This copy comes with the original (stickered) dark blue/midnight blue sleeve (please refer to the colour contrast with the usual black sleeve in the photos)
Cat# SHVL 804
SHVL 804 A-3 5 AGL / SHVL 804 B-3 1 GGO matrix
Comes with two posters and one unused sticker
The record is in Very Good(+) condition with some light hairlines and scuffs, but has been fully play-graded through headphones with both sides playing through really well with a bright and clear audio throughout and just a little occasional light background which was never distracting in any way. 
The original dark blue gatefold sleeve is in Very Good condition with some creasing and signs of storage/ring wear + some scuffing across the top and bottom edges and also to the corners. Overall though, it looks just fine (see photos).
The two posters are present; the band poster is printed on matte paper which I believe is the original and is in Excellent condition. The pyramids poster is probably a later version as it is printed on slightly glossy paper, but this is also in  Excellent condition. Both posters have just some minor signs of handling/wear. 
There is one unused sticker with this, which does have a large crease (see photos).
I use the UK Record Collector grading system Mint (M) The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet. booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records marked as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint. Excellent (EX) The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing. Very Good (VG) The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects is acceptable Good (G) Te record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc Fair (F) The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced. Poor (P) The record will not play properly due to scratched, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing Bad (B) The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler CDs and CASSETTES As a general rule CD?s and Cassettes either play perfectly ? in which case they are in Mint condition ? or they don?t, in which case their value is minimal. Cassette tape is liable to deteriorate with age, even if it remains unplayed, so care should be taken when buying old tapes. CD?s are difficult to grade visually; they can look perfect but actually be faulty, while in other cases they may appear damaged but still play perfectly. Cassette and CD inlays and booklets should be graded in the same way as record covers and sleeves. In general, the plastic containers for cassettes and CDs can easily be replaces if they are broken or scratched, but card covers and digipaks are subject to the same wear as record sleeves.
