RECORD CONDITION: EXCELLENT
Very rare 1st edition in excellent shape. Extremely rare. You will often see pressings of this album advertised as being first editions
but you should beware. The first pressing, has the light-blue filled prism design on the label which was very soon withdrawn and replaced in 1972 by
the common “blue-outline prism” you will see on all later pressings of this album that sold in their millions. Impossibly rare. This first pressing has optimum sound quality. You can hear the difference in the dynamics of the sound of a first pressing and so will you as the first pressing provides a direct line back to the original master tapes. I could write about the sheer quality of this album but you have heard it before.
The vinyl is very shiny and clean and is in excellent condition, with only a small hairline mark on side two which gives just the fainest of sound and isn’t loud enough to interfere with the music. Most of the LP sounds mint. The album plays without skips or jumps and has been well looked after. The labels showe only the faintest of spindle wear and it is clear that the LP has had only the lightest of use. This is a highly-collectable original copy of a remarkable album.
COVER CONDITION: EXCELLENT
As the most reliable Pink Floyd sources will tell you, the very first pressing of this gatefold sleeve had a very dark blue background while all issues starting with the second pressing had a black background. This one has this rare dark blue background and one side opening is sealed, just as it should be.
The condition of this original gatefold album cover complete with black original inner sleeve is Excellent. The entire sleeve is
fully intact, and both the front and back covers display only the faintest fading in the quality and definition of the artwork, it all looks fine. To make this rare piece absolutely perfect there are two unused stickers and two mint posters without pinholes or creases. I have seen this item recently sell for well into three figures in an incomplete form without these posters or stickers. BUT THIS ONE IS COMPLETE.
This is a rare LP of an ultimate vinyl pressing and a rare original sleeve that all true Pink Floyd fans must need.
