On offer here is a VERY rare LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by Pink Floyd called "Dark Side Of The Moon" and is an ORIGINAL 1973 UK 1st Pressing on the ULTRA RARE 1st Press 'Solid Blue Triangle' Harvest label!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!!  THIS IS ONE OF PINK FLOYD'S RAREST & MOST SOUGHT AFTER LPs EVER!!!!  BUT WHAT MAKES THIS LP REALLY SPECIAL, IS THAT IT IS THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING EVER MADE - WITH SOME AMAZING DIFFERENCES THAT ALL LATER PRESSINGS SIMPLY DO NOT HAVE!!!!  AND THIS IS SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ON THIS LP!!!!  THIS LP HAS SOME INCREDIBLE DIFFERENCES (INCLUDING THE COVER, LABELS, MATRIXES & INSERTS!) THAT ALL LATER ONES DONT HAVE - AND IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO EXAMINE THEM IN GREAT DETAIL!!!!  THIS LP WAS ONLY EVER PRESSED LIKE THIS FOR AN ABSOLUTELY TINY AMOUNT OF TIME ONLY - AND WAS CHANGED STRAIGHT AFTER RELEASE!!!!  AS A RESULT IT IS ONE OF THE ULTIMATE PINK FLOYD RARITIES AND INCREDIBLY SOUGHT AFTER!!!!  I WILL NOW EXPLAIN WHAT MAKES THIS LP SO AMAZINGLY RARE - AND ALSO SHOW THAT EVERY SINGLE PART OF THIS LP HAS BEEN TOGETHER (WITH NO PARTS 'SWOPPED'!) SINCE THE DAY IT WAS MADE BACK IN 1973!!!! 

FIRSTLY THE MATRIXES ON THE RECORD, ARE THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS MATRIXES - ENDING IN A2/B2 (LATER ONES DONT!)!!!!  SECONDLY THE LABELS ALSO HAVE THE CORRECT 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS 'GRAMOPHONE COMPANY' LABEL EDGE TEXT (LATER PRESSINGS HAD THIS CHANGED THIS TO 'EMI RECORDS' TEXT INSTEAD!)!!!!  THIRDLY THE RECORD LABELS HAVE THE ULTRA RARE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS 'SOLID LIGHT BLUE' TRIANGLE ON BOTH SIDES - WHICH WAS IMMEDIATELY CHANGED TO THE COMMON 'TRANSPARENT' TRIANGLE (WHICH APPEARS ON ALL LATER PRESSINGS!) AS THE TEXT WAS HARD TO READ!!!!  FOURTHLY THE 'STICKERS' WERE PRINTED BY 'FASPRINT' AND HAVE 'CRACKBACK' TEXT ON THE REVERSE OF THEM (LATER ONES DONT!)!!!!  AND LASTLY THE COVER IS ALSO A 100% GENIUNE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS COVER TOO - BEING DARK BLUE (SEE CLOSE UP PICTURE!) INSTEAD OF THE LATER BLACK!!!!  AND THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT INDEED!!!!  BECAUSE ONLY A TINY HANDFUL OF THE 'EARLIEST POSSIBLE' 1ST PRESS COVERS ONLY - WERE EVER PRESSED WITH A DARK BLUE COLOURED COVER - BEFORE BEING ALMOST IMMEDIATELY CHANGED TO A JET BLACK COVER INSTEAD!!!!  AND IN FACT - THEY ARE EVEN RARER THAN THE ACTUAL 'SOLD BLUE TRIANGLE' RECORDS THEMSELVES - AS THE COLOUR ON THE COVER WAS CHANGED EVEN BEFORE THE 1ST PRESSING RUN ENDED!!!!  INTERESTINGLY THIS COVER ACTUALLY HAS STRAIGHT EDGES TO BOTH ENDS OF THE GATEFOLD - BUT THIS COVER IS WITHOUT ANY DOUBT THE 'EARLIEST POSSIBLE' 1ST PRESS COVER - AS THIS DARK BLUE COLOUR SIMPLY DOES NOT EXIST ON ANY LATER PRESSING (EVERY COVER PRESSED AFTER THE RELEASE DATE WAS JET BLACK INSTEAD!)!!!!  THE COVER EVEN CARRIES ITS ORIGINAL 'DARK OF THE MOON' STICKER (WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY MINT AS YOU CAN SEE IN MY PICTURES!) WHICH AGAIN IS IN THE 'EARLIEST POSSIBLE' 1ST PRESS STYLE OF 'GREY/BLUE'!!!!  SO THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT AT ALL - THAT THIS IS THE 'EARLIEST' & RAREST 1ST PRESSING OF THIS AMAZING LP THAT YOU CAN POSSIBLY GET!!!!  NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS LP IS IN ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT CONDITION AND IS 100% COMPLETE WITH 2 POSTERS & 2 STICKERS!!!!  JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!!  THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1973 UK 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING ON THE ULTRA RARE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS 'SOLID LIGHT BLUE TRIANGLE' HARVEST LABEL, 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS A2/B2 MATRIX ENDINGS, 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS 'GRAMOPHONE COMPANY' EDGE TEXT, AND 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS 'DARK BLUE' GATEFOLD 'GARROD & LOFTHOUSE' 'STICKERED' COVER!!!!  THE RECORD ALSO COMES IN WHAT I AM ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN IS ITS ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS 'DIE-CUT' POLY LINED BLACK INNER SLEEVE (THIS LP CAME FROM A '1 OWNER' COLLECTION AND I SEE NO POSSIBLE REASON WHY IT WOULD OR COULD HAVE EVER BEEN CHANGED!)!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!!  This is the ORIGINAL Harvest UK 1st Pressing from 1973 and is in absolutely BRILLIANT condition!!!!  The Cat. No is SHVL 804 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press 'Solid Light Blue Triangle' Harvest label (see picture) and is a UK Stereo 1st Pressing (there were NO Monos)!!!!

The record labels are in STUNNING condition (see pictures) with NO writing, NO wear, and only a few VERY spindle marks!!!!  The vinyl is in absolutely BRILLIANT condition!!!!  Most of these 60s/70s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO scratches, only 2 or 3 VERY light hairlines, NO scufflines, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND SHINES LIKE NEW!!!! It is also great to find that the playing of the record is as STUNNING as the visual!!!!  It plays with NO pops, barely ANY clicks AT ALL, NO jumps, NO sticks, barely ANY crackle AT ALL, and only some EXTREMELY low level background sound on the run on grooves, gaps and VERY quietest parts ONLY!!!!  The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO groovewear and NO distortion either!!!!  The record must grade Very Good++++ if not better!!!!  Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!! The record also comes in what looks to be its ORIGINAL 1st Press Black inner sleeve which is in SUPERB!!!!  THE ULTRA RARE 1ST PRESS 2 POSTERS AND 2 STICKERS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION AND CLEARLY HAVENT EVER LEFT THE COVER!!!!  The ULTRA RARE 'Earliest' 1st Press 'Dark Blue' Gatefold 'Stickered' Cover is in SUPERB condition and the BEST conditioned example I have EVER seen!!!!  It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, only VERY slight corner wear (NOT through the colour), absolutely NO RUBBING AT ALL to the cover front, barely ANY rubbing AT ALL to the cover back, barely ANY creases AT ALL (cover is VERY flat looking indeed!), NO sticker tears, and NO writing!!!!  The opening edges are beautifully straight with NO feathering AT ALL!!!!  Even the inside of the cover is in SUPERB condition with NO yellowing, barely ANY rubbing AT ALL (virtually NONE!), NO ringwear, NO grubbyness, and NO writing!!!!  The cover MUST grade Excellent+ if not better!!!!  SUPERB COVER!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND AS A 100% GENIUNE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING (ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONDITION!) - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
