Original earliest print, One piece Gatefold sleeve, with White card inside the sleeve pockets. You just do not find these sleeves in this sort of condition - these are the very first sleeves, made with One single sheet of card, with only one join seam. All in immaculate condition, complete with title sticker. Mint
David Gilmour production credit on the inside of the Gatefold cover, Band members are not listed. It only says "Words and Music - Roger Waters. Except..." and "Produced By David Gilmour, Bob Ezrin, Roger Waters".
Later pressings had no David Gilmour production credit, and added band member credits to the 10th brick, and had other minor alterations. (The David Gilmour credit was removed at David Gilmour's request, due to the fatal differences that this Album caused within the band)
The bricks on the front cover are not aligned right to the bottom of the cover on the outside or inside.
No bar code on the back cover.
Heavy cardboard inner sleeves with rounded corners and a nine-inch thumb notch at the top. No splits, tears or writing, they are in Mint condition.
The vinyl records and labels are unmarked, they are like new and play accordingly... stunning clean clear and detailed audio.
Everything is like new
A stunning example that would be hard to beat on every level... A true collectors issue.
Country: UK Released: 30 Nov 1979 Genre: Rock Style: Prog Rock, Classic Rock

A few words about condition.

GRADING

GOOD

The record has been played so much that the sound quality has deteriorated, but the record will still play through, and it will not be a completely unpleasant listening experience, even at the bottom of this grade (56).
The cover and contents may suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.
FAIR
41 to 55
The record is still playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even stick, skip or jump.. This is starting to be an unpleasant listening experience at the top of the grade (55) and will not be a pleasant listening experience at all by the end of it (41).
The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.
POOR
25 to 40
The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc.
The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
BAD
0 - 24
The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
The Sleeve is non existent (0) or what is left, is only just recognisable.
A few words about postage.
Within Australia, the best value for multiple purchases is a 5KG satchel, where as many as 15 to 20 LPs can be posted for $22.00 registered post. (well packed in a box, inside the satchel)
My Policies on postage are simple.
The user pays.
I package well.
Any item that you purchase without choosing the option of "Signed for" or "Registered" Post, is at your risk.
I do accept that "signed for" can be expensive, especially internationally, but whether you take the option of this, or any other insurance, is entirely up to you.
I do not wish to withdraw the option of standard postage for the cheaper records, but it must be at your risk, as I do not control the postal services.
