ATTENTION PROGRESSIVE ROCK,PINK FLOYD AND HARVEST LABEL COLLECTORS!

HERE IS AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE OF THE LP: 

"THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON"

A 1973 1ST UK EDITION WITH THE SOLID TRIANGLE LABELS AS ONLY ON THE SHORT LIVED EARLIEST PRESSINGS,BOTH POSTERS,BOTH STICKERS AND THE BLACK DIE CUT POLYLINED INNER SLEEVE,HOUSED IN THE CORRECT 1 SIDE OPENING GATEFOLD COVER WITH ONLY SLIGHT WEAR!

THE COVER IS THE EARLIEST PURPLE BACKGROUND ONE PRINTED BY GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE UNLIKE LATER ONES WHICH ARE BLACK!  

EMI PRESSED HARVEST SHVL 804+A2/B2 MATRIXES.

LOTS OF BASS-THICK VINYL-FAR THICKER THAN THE WAFER THIN LATER 1970s REPRESSES SO OFTEN CLASSED AS "ORIGINALS"

THIS IS THE REAL DEAL-THE MUCH SOUGHT AFTER FIRST ISSUE PRESSED IN 1973 WITH MOST BUYERS GETTING THE LATER LABEL DESIGNS WHICH TOOK OVER WITHIN A FEW WEEKS OF THIS AMAZING,TIMELESS LPs DEBUT!

THE DISC HAS JUST A FEW TINY AND ULTRA FAINT SURFACE MARKS IN VERY STRONG LIGHT BUT HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE EXCEPT A LITTLE CRACKLE AT THE VERY START AND END OF EACH SIDE WHERE THE MUSIC FADES IN OR OUT,LISTENED TO AT HIGH VOLUME ALL THE WAY THROUGH TWICE WITH THE TREBLE FULL ON TO"CATCH"ANY FAULTS.THERE ARE NO NASTY CLICKS,STICKS OR JUMPS! A FEW ISOLATED FAINT"POPS"BUT THAT IS BEING ULTRA STRICT! 

REMEMBER THERE ARE LOTS OF VERY QUIET PASSAGES ON THIS LP BUT IT IS STILL OBVIOUS TO ME THAT THIS LP HAS HARDLY BEEN PLAYED!  STILL A VERY STRICT AND SAFE EXCELLENT CONDITION GRADING-SO BID WITH CONFIDENCE!

THE SOUND IS QUITE SUPERB!

I DON'T RECALL EVER HEARING ONE AS GOOD ON IT'S EARLIEST UK PRESSING! 

CLEAN LABELS WITH NO SPINDLE WEAR!

PLEASE MY PHOTO FOR ONE OF THE LABELS-NO WRITING,STAINING OR FADING!

THE POSTERS ARE BOTH VERY CLEAN AND NEATLY FOLDED,OBVIOUSLY HAVING REMAINED INSIDE THE COVER FOR MOST OF THE LAST 38 YEARS WITH NO SELLOTAPE,BLUE TAC OR PIN HOLES UNLIKE MOST POSTERS THAT SURVIVE!

THE TWO STICKERS ARE SUPERB! THEY BOTH HAVE THE CRACK BACK,FASPRINT CREDITS AT THE BACK WITH A COUPLE OF TINY CREASES AT ONE OF THE CORNERS OF ONE OF THEM. 

THE GATEFOLD COVER HAS SOME SIGNIFICANT WEAR AT EDGES ESPECIALLY TOWARDS THE BOTTOM OF THE SPINE AND SOME SLIGHT RING WEAR AT THE BACK.THE NORMALLY SEALED UP FRONT SIDE OPENING'S GLUE HAS DRIED OUT AND NEEDS STICKING DOWN.

A FEW TINY EDGE CREASES.

HOWEVER-THERE IS NO WRITING,NO RIPS,NO FADING.PLEASE SEE PHOTOS!

IT IS STILL VERY PRESENTABLE!

IF OF COURSE YOU HAVE AN OUTSTANDING COVER BUT A LESS THAN BRILLLIANT RECORD INSIDE,THIS COULD BE YOUR FINEST MIX AND MATCH OPPORTUNITY FOR YEARS! 

This highly sought after 1ST PRESSING album was from the collection of Mike Coxhead,a well known,succesful and respected British rock music industry businessman who also worked as a roadie and engineer for bands such as PINK FLOYD,THE WHO and LED ZEPPELIN and many more as well as being a guitarist and keen record collector!

The majority of the albums in this collection have not been played for years and are for the most part in Excellent condition,having been hardly played and when they were only played with extreme care on superb equipment!

The vast majority of copies sold of this album were often played on poor equipment,in many cases taken to parties,not well cared for with no long term investment in mind!

Most that were buying albums in 1973 were usually using dreadful equipment! 

An ideal opportunity to add a fine album in it's EARLIEST AND RAREST EDITION in super condition to your collection that is bound to rise in value!

A LOW,REALISTIC £25 STARTING PRICE INCLUDING FREE UK RECORDED DELIVERY!

THE RECORD COLLECTOR PRICE GUIDE SUGGESTS A MINT VALUE OF £500 WHICH SEEMS A BIT INSANE BUT EVEN SO EXPECT KEEN BIDDING AT THE LAST MINUTE ON THIS MASTERPIECE THAT STILL SOUNDS HAUNTING AND INCREDIBLE AND NOT AS DATED AND DULL AS MANY OTHER SO CALLED PROG.ROCK CLASSICS!!!!!
