Description

An original 1st press of OBCs on the UK Harvest label. Matrix A1/B1. Stampers 2-OO/?-RD. Please note the labels exhibit the 'Gramophone' text around the perimeter found on the 1st press. This copy was destined for the hands of the execs and promo folk as it has a 'factory sample' sticker on side 1. The heavy set vinyl comes housed in an original rounded corner sleeve with the earliest 'La Valee' promo sticker on the front. OBCs was effectively a sound track for the aforementioned film. At the point of release Pink Floyd fell out with the film company and so you only find the association promo sticker on these very early copies. Also included is the original Harvest inner sleeve. So, 100% genuine and 100% complete.
Vinyl (Ex+) In superb condition and has only seen very light use. Under close inspection we could only make out a couple of very light marks - nothing remotely troublesome. A thorough testing from beginning to end reveals an EXCELLENT+ level of playback. Intros and inbetweens are silent and the audio comes across with perfect clarity. Floyd needs a clean player every time otherwise it is going to leave you disappointed. This copy doesn't disappoint. Beautiful quality clean audio from this early low-mileage copy...even in the slow-build passages. Interference is pretty much non-existent. We couldn't detect more than a couple of crackles in a couple of isolated moments. Just the sort of copy that would be of interest to a serious collector of Floyd.
Cover (Vg+) In great shape and well above the average examples that surface. Relatively clean front and back. One thing that stands out is the lack of creasing - very little at all. Just some very light surface handling wear. That 'La Vallee' sticker is perfectly intact and no one has attempted to peel it - thankfully! There's a bit of edge wear, but nothing heavy. You can just about make out most of the text on the spine - and that's better than average. Overall the cover retains excellent rigidity and lies totally flat. An impressive example with that hard to find 'La Vallee' sticker.
Inner (Ex-) Light ageing at the extremities. No splits.



Any purchase is guaranteed to get to you quickly, safely, and with total satisfaction, or your money back.
