Description
Welcome to my auctions....The time has come to sell my huge record collection over the next weeks/months...so check out my other vinyl listed, more added each week.
I am a private collector, selling my collection, I am not a dealer. Due to poor hearing, The record is sold as visually inspected so please base your bidding solely on this not what it might sound/play like. Even the most visually stunning record can have background noise, if you want perfect audio then please find another copy with audio gradings.
Pink Floyd - The Dark Side Of The Moon - 1st Press Solid Blue Prism Label On Side 2 and 2nd Press Outline Label On Side 1 - 1st/2nd Transitional UK Pressing - Only A Handful Made - Purchased In the early 1980's From An Old EMI Plant Worker who said they were 'mock ups' Never released to the public - MONSTER Rarity - Correct Matrix Numbers - Genuine Holy Grail For Floyd Collectors

SHVL 804 B-2 1 (Label States the correct THE GRAMOPHONE CO LTD Rim Text And Solid Triangle - Both Correct for the A-2 Matrix)
Side 1 has quite a lot of light scuffs/faint hairlines and a few faint scratches, nothing that looks or feels deep.
Side 2 has more scuffs.hairlines and scratches than side 1, it's not a clean vinyl,, nothing that looks or feels deep
It is sold for it's massive rarity rather than condition and playability, please base bidding solely on how rare and Unique this record is not on the condition.
Labels are both clean and free from damage, The Center Circle around spindle is bumpy on each side (as I was told these were pressed by employees and no quality checks were needed or done).
Original 1st press Gatefold Sleeve with Blue Tint has some wear to top and bottom edges, slight wear to spine, mainly top and bottom, corners have wear and bumping, light wear to opening edge (slight feathering). But is overall solid and clean, Front and back have light ringwear/rubbing and front is a little wavy. Not perfect but it is the sleeve this rare record came in.
White Original Inner Sleeve
Super rare 1st/2nd Transitional press, Never released and only a handful made.
I will describe any flaws such as wear to sleeves, scuffs, marks or scratches to vinyl and describe them honestly, if you expect a better condition than I have listed then you need to learn to read. I will grade based on visual inspection under artificial light. PLEASE remember this is Vinyl...even brand new vinyl can have clicks and pops...that's part of its charm...if you want perfect audio without background noise...how about CD's or MP3's? Due to my poor hearing, The record is sold as visually inspected so please base your bidding solely on this, in the event that a record may not play well or have background noise no refund will be given because I have no way of verifying and as such, if you place a bid you are acknowledging this.
NO POSTAGE/SHIPPING TO ROMANIA
With that said....many rarities will be listed, some fair condition some near mint.
Any questions...please ask.
Will be posted Tracked and Insured to UK and Worldwide
Premium quality record mailers will be used with 2 sheets of additional cardboard.
