The Dark Side Of The Moon Harvest Records 1st Issue in a factory sealed condition with an original hype sticker which can be found only on the very early copies. Located in the upper-right hand corner on the shrink wrap, the hype sticker indicates the band's name, title of the album and SMAS-11163 catalog number but you won't find the "Printed in U.S.A." text on it. This text you can come across on any sticker that was affixed on the subsequent releases of this legendary album. The front cover also contains the remaining parts of a large record store sticker which had the middle part with perforated edges and that got detached over time. Perhaps, it would be better to remove the remaining parts but I've decided to leave them as they are. Very early copies of this issue came with the cover containing the "INTERPAK Pats. Pending." text in the lower right-hand corner of the gatefold interior. I'm sure that this copy has this text just like it contains inside all of the album's memorabilia including inserts: green pyramid poster with the "Printed in U.S.A." at the bottom left and "SMAS-11163-1" at the bottom right and "PINK FLOYD DARKS SIDE OF THE MOON" at the bottom center; a six-pane group shot poster in portrait style with "Printed in U.S.A." at the bottom left and "SMAS-11163-2" at the bottom right; and two "Dark Side Of The Moon" stickers. Black Harvest Records labels with a prism. The shrink wrap with original breathe holes at the bottom of the front cover only has some light shelf wear and scuffing. It remains intact without any tears or missing pieces. This is a fantastic copy in Mint condition.
