SUPER RARE PINK FLOYD "DARK SIDE OF THE MOON"
ORIGINAL 1973 UK 1st Pressing on the ULTRA RARE 1st Press 'Solid Blue Triangle' Harvest label!!!
THIS LP IS RARE AS HEN'S TEETH AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!! One of Floyd's rarest & most sought after albums!!!!
Earliest pressing made with key differences to later pressings as follows:
FIRSTLY THE MATRICES ON THE RECORD ARE THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS MATRICES - ENDING IN A2/B2. 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 (AND IT DIDNT MATCH THE COVER!). LASTLY THE COVER IS ALSO A 100% GENUINE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS COVER TOO BEING VERY DARK BLUE INSTEAD OF THE LATER BLACK, AND 'FACTORY SEALED' AT ONE END (LATER ONES ARENT!) THIS IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE ONLY A TINY HANDFUL OF THE 'EARLIEST POSSIBLE' 1ST PRESS COVERS ONLY WERE EVER PRESSED BEFORE BEING ALMOST IMMEDIATELY CHANGED TO A JET BLACK 'UNSEALED' 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. THIS IS THE 'EARLIEST' & RAREST 1ST PRESSING OF THIS AMAZING LP THAT YOU CAN POSSIBLY GET! PLEASE NOTE HOWEVER: INNER SLEEVE IS NOT ORIGINAL.
I'VE BEEN LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET HOLD OF 2 COPIES OF THIS RECENTLY! THIS IS THE SECOND COPY, FIRST SOLD SUCCESSFULLY!
THIS ONE IS OF OF A LESSER GRADING SO PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!!!!
LP IS IN GOOD CONDITION WHICH IS GRADED TO REFLECT VISIBLE SURFACE HAIRLINE SCRATCHES AND MARKS. PLAY GRADED - SOME AUDIBLE POPPING AND LIGHT SCRATCH NOISES INTERMITTENTLY, HOWEVER STILL SOUNDS BEAUTIFUL, DEEP AND RICH AS WOULD BE EXPECTED FROM THIS ORIGINAL 1ST RECORDING AND GENERALLY PLAYS REALLY WELL. OCCASIONAL LOW LEVEL INFREQUENT STATIC DUST CRACKLE.
SLEEVE IS IN WORN CONDITION (HAPPY TO SEND PHOTO IF NEEDED) BUT NO DAMP OR WRITING. NB: THE PIC ABOVE IS THE OTHER SLEEVE!
