PINK FLOYD
WISH YOU WERE HERE
This Australian version has the "Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here" circular "badge" on the upper left of the front cover. The badge has an image of two robot hands shaking hands, over four quadrants of different elements, surrounded by the following text in the circumference ring:
"SHINE ON YOU CRAZY DIAMOND·WELCOME TO THE MACHINE·HAVE A CIGAR·WISH YOU WERE HERE SBP 234651 ? © 1975 Pink Floyd Music Limited"
"SBP 234651" is upside down relative to the other text in this ring.
Released in a gatefold sleeve.
The label art replicates (but not exactly) the image of the robot hands shaking from the badge on the front cover, in black and white, over a black and steel-blue background, with images of two small pyramids at 9 o'clock, and a small yellow circle at 3 o'clock.
Catalog #s are displayed as follows:
- SBP 234651 on front cover, spine and labels
- PC 33453 on inside gatefold and labels

My father bought this in Fremantle, Western Australia in 1977. He played it once, recorded it onto cassette and stored it in a pvc sleeve.
It is NEAR MINT throughout.
There are NO spindle tracks on the labels and the cover is just lovely. Clean and straight.
The record is also NM. There are, of course, very superficial, sleeve-removal scratches on the surface, but even new albums have these. I’ve put it into a new poly-lined inner, as the original thin, Japanese-style inner is very flimsy for shipping.
This really is superb example - thanks to my Dad’s obsession with keeping his records pristine.
Good luck...
BLURB
I grade carefully and conservatively. I use RECORD COLLECTOR guidelines.
I accept returns. The return postage is paid by the buyer. If I’ve made a massive blunder, however, I will refund your P&P.
All my records are play tested. I may not be able to play all of them all the way through, but if there are surface scratches, I’ll ascertain if they sound or not.
I don’t clean my records prior to sending as everyone has their own methods and solution preferences.
POSTAGE & PACKING
I will always combine shipping for up to 3 albums.
I use proper mailers with stiffening boards. I’ve only ever had one negative feedback and that was from a serial-negative-feedback leaver. I’m a record lover and always take care.
If an album sells for £20 or more, I will only ship by SPECIAL DELIVERY. This is not because I don’t trust you, but because Royal Mail are prone to losing parcels.
I’ll gladly ship outside of the UK, but if an album sells for more than £10, I will only ship with insurance and tracking. There are no exceptions to this I’m afraid.
GRADING GUIDELINES
Near Mint (NM) - A nearly perfect record. Has more than likely been played few times or not at all, and the vinyl will show no imperfections during playback. Sleeve will have no more than the most minor defects. The same is true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves, etc.
Excellent (EX) -The record shows some signs of having been played but there is very little lessening in sound quality. Sleeve may have slight wear or creasing
Very Good (VG) - The record has obviously been played many times but displays no major deterioration in sound quality despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Sleeve, normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable
