DARK SIDE OF THE MOON - PINK FLOYD (UK) (LABEL: HARVEST WITH GRAMOPHONE COMPANY RIM TEXT/CAT NO.: SVLP 804/MATRIX NOS.: A - 3 GMG 1/B - 2 GOG)
THIS IS AN EARLY UK SECOND ISSUE OF THE RECORD WITH THE GRAMOPHONE COMPANY RIM TEXT. THIS WAS CHANGED ON LATER PRESSING TO EMI RECORDS. THE ORIGINAL BLUE TINT COVER WHICH ALSO CAME WITH THE FIRST ISSUES AND THEN WAS CHANGED FOR THE THIRD ISSUES. PATENT NO. BLACK INNER SLEEVE, WHICH AGAIN ONLY CAN WITH EARLY PRESSINGS.
RECORD IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. THERE IS QUITE A BIT OF SURFACE MARKING AND IT HAS OBVIOUSLY BEEN PLAYED MANY TIMES. THE LABELS HAVE NO WRITING ETC... BUT ARE A LITTLE SPINDLE MARKED (PLEASE REFER TO PICTURES). THE RECORD PLAYS WITH SOME EXPECTED SURFACE NOISE AND SOME POPS AND CLICKS EVERY NOW AND AGAIN - THERE ARE A FEW NOTICEABLE POPS AT THE END OF 'THE GREAT GIG IN THE SKY' ON SIDE 1 WHERE THERE IS A SCRATCH ACROSS THE LAST FEW GROOVES. THERE IS A BIT OF DISTORTION FOR A FEW ROTATIONS WITHIN THE TRACK 'ANY COLOUR YOU LIKE' ON SIDE 2. IT IS STILL A PERFECTLY ACCEPTABLE LISTEN, BUT NOT AUDIOPHILE QUALITY. THERE IS NO SIGN OF WARPING.
SLEEVE IS VERY GOOD. THE SLEEVE HAS QUITE A BIT OF WEAR, BUT NOTHING TERRIBLE. IT HAS RINGWEAR TO THE FRONT AND BACK AND SOME LIGHT MARKING. THE INNER GATEFOLD IS PRETTY CLEAN. THE SPINE IS QUITE SCUFFED AND THE CORNERS ARE A LITTLE FRAYED (PLEASE REFER TO THE PICTURES). THE SLEEVE AS STATED EARLIER IS THE BLUE TINT SLEEVE, WHICH ORIGINALLY CAME OUT WITH THE FIRST ISSUES AND THEN WAS LATER REPLACED WITHT HE STANDARD BLACK SLEEVE.
THE INNER SLEEVE IS ALL INTACT, APART FROM THE FACT IT DOESN'T HAVE ANY POLY- LINING. THERE IS A SMALL TEAR TO THE DIE-CUT CENTRE ON ONE SIDE. THIS IS NOR PARTICULARLY NOTICEABLE. THIS IS THE ORIGINAL BLACK INNER SLEEVE WITH PATENT NO. ETC... WHICH CAME WITH FIRST ISSUES AND SOME OF THE EARLY SECOND ISSUES.
NO POSTERS OR STICKERS WITH THIS ISSUE.
