Description
PINK FLOYD Meddle 1971 UK HARVEST 1st PRESSING Nr MINT
BEAUTIFUL COPY - EXCEPTIONALLY CLEAN SOUND PERFORMANCE
PINK FLOYDMeddle
UK HARVEST (SHVL 795) FIRST PRESSING (November 1971) OF PINK FLOYD'S "Meddle" LP
SUPERB COPY - SEEN VERY LITTLE PLAY (less than a handful of spins) - WONDERFUL CLEAN SOUND
PRESSED ON HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL WITH THE FIRST HARVEST LABELS WHICH CARRY "The Gramophone Co Ltd." RIM TEXT
MATRIX NUMBERS: SHVL 795 A-1U / SHVL 795 B-1U
MOTHERS/STAMPERS: 1/RG and 1/AR
THE LP IS HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL FULLY TEXTURED (inside/outside) SOFT BACKED GATEFOLD SLEEVE "Printed and made by Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd." WITH FACTORY SEALED LEFT SIDE EDGE - DATE CODED '7110' (1971 October)
COMPLETE WITH THE ORIGINAL HARVEST POLY-LINED INNER SLEEVE
Side 1: ONE OF THESE DAYS / A PILLOW OF WINDS / FEARLESS / SAN TROPEZ / SEAMUS
Side 2: ECHOES
LABELS: NEAR MINT
Clean, bright and fresh labels with just a few light spindle traces - less than a handful
VINYL Visual: NEAR MINT
Both surfaces retain their original deep, like-new, glossy sheen and are practically unmarked - light hairlines only visible under bright light - of no audio consequence
VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT
A really stunning copy - barely been played and the sound quality is sensational throughout - strong, deep, rich and beautifully warm.
My play-check at loud volume found no major audio issues issues of note - just one or two dust pops on Side One (impossibly minor and barely worth a mention) otherwise, plays beautifully ('Echoes' is outstanding) and copies of this first pressing don't come much better than this - the finest I have heard in a long time
SLEEVE: NEAR MINT
The original 1971 soft-backed textured gatefold cover has some light rubbing to the spine but is otherwise a beautiful example with unmarked surfaces and no other wear to speak of - clean, sharp and fresh
INNER SLEEVE: EXCELLENT++
The Harvest inner sleeve is also in great shape - no seam splits - just some age-related discolouration to the edges
