A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS ICONIC ALBUM FROM PINK FLOYD.

THIS IS POSSIBLY THE BEST EXAMPLE THAT I HAVE COME ACROSS IN SEVERAL YEARS OF COLLCTING THEIR ALBUMS. THE MOTHERS TO BOTH SIDES ARE "2". YOU OFTEN SEE THESE WITH MOTHERS OF "3" OR EVEN "4", THIS HAS THE VERY EARLIEST POSSIBLE. THE STAMPERS ARE "MO" ON SIDE 1, AND "LM" ON SIDE 2. AGAIN, THESE ARE INCREDIBLY EARLY STAMPERS, AND ONLY BENEFIT THE SOUND QUALITY.

• THIS IS THE UK FIRST PRESSING WITH THE SOLID BLUE PRISM LABELS, AND THE VERY FIRST A2 AND B2 MATRICES. THIS HAS THE EARLIEST MOTHERS, AND SERIOUSLY EARLY STAMPERS. A DETAILED BREAKDOWN OF ITS COMPONENT PARTS FOLLOWS.

• COVER IS MIDNIGHT BLUE WITH LEFT SIDE OPENING SEALED
• INNER SLEEVE IS BLACK ORIGINAL.
• BOTH POSTERS AND ALL 3 STICKERS ARE PRESENT.
• MATRICES ARE A2 AND B2.
• LABELS ARE THE SOLID BLUE PRISM FIRST PRESS.

I HAVE TRIED TO TAKE AS MANY PHOTOS (THESE ARE OF THE ALBUM FOR SALE- NOT FROM ANY ARCHIVE) AS IT NEEDS TO SHOW THE QUALITY OF THIS. IF YOU REQUIRE MORE, PLEASE JUST ASK. THIS IS PERFECTLY GOOD ENOUGH TO BE YOUR FINAL UPGRADE.

PLEASE BROWSE THE SUPER-SIZE IMAGES THAT I HAVE PROVIDED TO SHOW GREATER DETAILS.

THE GATEFOLD COVER IS GRADED AS EXCELLENT. I WOULD GRADE HIGHER, BUT THERE IS A SMALL SIGNATURE DISCRETELY WRITTEN INSIDE THE GATEFOLD, WITH DATE OF PURCHASE, A LITTLE HISTORY HERE. (SEE PHOTO). BARELY A SIGN OF WEAR TO BE FOUND ON THE COVER, EITHER ON EDGES OR FRONT/REAR. A SUPERB EXAMPLE.

THE ORIGINAL BLACK INNER SLEEVE IS ALMOST PERFECT, AND IS CONFIDENTLY GRADED AS EXCELLENT PLUS. NO RIPS, TEARS, DISC CUT EDGES AT ALL.

THE POSTERS ARE SPOTLESS. NEVER HUNG OR PINNED TO ANY SURFACE. NO PROBLEM GRADING THESE EXCELLENT PLUS.

THE POSTCARD STICKERS ARE TOTALLY UNUSED. GRADED AS EXCELLENT DUE TO VERY LIGHT CREASING WHERE THEY HAVE GOT CAUGHT IN THE HINGE OF THE GATEFOLD COVER UPON CLOSING.

THE LABELS ARE GRADED EXCELLENT PLUS. EACH SIDE SHOWS ABOUT SIX "SNAIL TRAILS" FROM THE SPINDLE. THEY ARE AS GOOD AS YOU COULD FIND.

THE VINYLS ARE GRADED AS A STRONG EXCELLENT TO EXCELLENT PLUS. THE ONLY MARKS ARE EXCEPTIONALLY LIGHT, VISIBLE ONLY UNDER STRONG WATTAGE BULBS OR SUNLIGHT, AND ARE COMPLETELY IN LINE WITH MARKS FROM DISC/SLEEVE REMOVAL. THEY DISPLAY A DEEP BLACK LUSTRE, AND THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL LIES FLAT TO THE TURNTABLE.

I HAVE PLAYED THESE ON MY LINN/NAIM HIGH END SYSTEM, AND CAN CONFIRM THAT THEY SOUND AS GOOD AS THEY LOOK. A TIGHT, DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE WITH GREAT DEPTH, AND CHANNEL SEPERATION. I HAVE HEARD NONE BETTER. I GRADE THE AUDIO AS EXCELLENT PLUS. ONLY THE FEINTEST OF BACKGROUND NOISE ON RUN INS/OUTS AND BETWEEN TRACKS.

THIS IS A GEM OF AN ALBUM. YOU MAY NOT SEE OR HEAR BETTER.  ANY QUESTIONS AT ALL WILL BE ANSWERED AS SOON AS I SEE THEM.

PLEASE CHECK MY FEEDBACK RATINGS. I OFFER A HIGH LEVEL OF SERVICE, AND AM HONEST IN MY DEALINGS.

I AM STARTING THIS AT A VERY LOW PRICE AND THERE IS NO RESERVE. AN ALBUM OF REAL QUALITY, SUCH AS THIS ONE, WILL FIND ITS OWN MARKET PRICE WITHOUT MY HELP.

I AM SELLING WORLWIDE, AND WILL POST ON THE SAME DAY THAT I RECEIVE THE MONEY. MY PACKAGING IS RECYCLED, BUT VERY VERY ROBUST. I ONLY CHARGE WHAT IT COSTS ME TO POST, I DO NOT PROFIT ON POSTAGE!! ANY ADDITIONAL INSURANCE OPTIONS WILL BE OFFERED AT SALE END. THE POSTAL PRICES QUOTED FOR OVERSEAS ARE AN ESTIMATE ONLY, AND INCLUDE "SIGNED FOR" WITH FULL INSURANCE. IF IT COSTS LESS THAN MY QUOTE, A FULL REFUND OF THE DIFERENCE WILL BE MADE.

WELL THATS IT REALLY. IF YOU ARE BIDDING, GOOD LUCK. FOR THE SERIOUS COLLECTOR, THIS AN ALBUM NOT TO BE MISSED.

I GIVE FULL REFUNDS (MINUS POSTAGE ONE WAY) IF THE ALBUM IS NOT AS DESCRIBED. I JUST ASK THAT YOU INFORM ME WITHIN 7 DAYS, THATS ALL.
