This is the Most Pristine UK 1st Press Vinyl Copy You Will Ever See - It Looks Un-played!!! From My Own Keepers Collection!!!

You are bidding on another essential UK 1st pressing from my mostly Nr Mint UK Psych/Prog collection.  Here we have a STUNNING ORIGINAL Thick & Chunky UK 1969 EMI/Columbia stereo 1st Pressing of this all-time classic LP by Pink Floyd!!! However, what makes this record so very special is that it is the Original 1969 UK stereo 1st PRESSING on the 'One Box' EMI/Columbia Label with 'Made in Gt. Britain' centre label text!!! Further, it comes complete with its original Garrod & Lofthouse front laminated sleeve and it's original 1st press 'patents' text Inner sleeve (NR MINT!!)!!! However what makes this exceptionally rare is its absolutely pristine condition!!! This UK thick & chunky vinyl is the best I have ever seen without doubt - they just do not turn up like this anymore!!! This is the best copy you will EVER see of this increasingly rare UK 1st pressing!!! It has been archived in my own personal Nr Mint collection for almost 35 years!!! A stunning record suitable for the highest grade Mint Pink Floyd/Prog. collection!!! The cool 1960's quality pressed super-thick and chunky vinyl is in visually and aurally stunning condition and shines with a 'just pressed' look and feel, it really looks as if this record came off the press yesterday!!! Although there are still a few of these LP's kicking about, you will NOT find another early UK Press in this condition throughout!!! You will probably have to push the boat out a bit for this one as the bidding will be high, but whoever wins this record can rest assured that they will be the owners of one of  the highest grade copies of this record left in existence today - good luck!

This is part of a Nr Mint UK Pink Floyd collection that I am currently listing and is ending very soon; featuring some of the very rarest Pink Floyd albums & related albums you will see on eBay UK -please check my other auctions here

This LP is in Pristine throughout!!! The Classic yellow/green Centre Labels are in stunning MINT condition with NO Tears, NO Peeling, NO Scribbles and NO unwanted writing of any kind, impossibly, there are NO spindle like on either of the labels at all!!! (this is very rare as you only have to breath on these old matt black EMI/Columbia labels for them to get spindle lines!!! I have carefully only ever played this only twice (once to play-grade) this was done on very lightly on a very high grade Mitchell turntable so, to all intents and purposes, it is as good as un-played!!! There is just a tiny almost invisible initial on the side 1 label - it is so insignificant I have never even noticed it up until now!!! The gramophone rims are also obviously mint!!!

As described above - the vinyl itself is in Stunning Nr Mint condition!!! You will never see a better looking copy. It has NO Scratches, NO Groovewear, NO Hairlines, NO Warping, in fact - NO blemishes of any kind; not even a paper-line!!! The playing surfaces are totally mint and blemish-free. If I'm ultra fussy there is a small bump (factory fault) on the run-in to side 2, note: only on the run in!!! This looks and grades as Near Mint!! I may as well grade this vinyl as Mint!!! Nr Mint does not do it justice.  I am very pleased to state that plays as good as it looks with NO Crackle, NO Pops, NO Jumps, NO Skips and NO hissing!!! I have to keep reminding myself that I am describing a 38 year old record here, not one made last week!!! I can say nothing else about this chunky 1st press record - it's absolutely perfect and Near Mint!!! Like I said above, this record plays pristinely!!! !!! These 1st pressings were straight from the masters and nothing even gets close to them today. They play with a very loud punchy but also deep clear warm chiming clarity and have to be heard to be believed. This is the best pressing you will hear and is far, far superior to the later and much more common  late 1970's and early 1980's flimsy European repressings; this is the thick & chunky 1969 UK 1st pressing. This record plays Nr Mint - the best you will ever hear!!! It is perfectly quiet between track with NO hissing, virtually NO crackling and obviously NO jumps and NO pops etc!!! It plays Nr Mint - the best example I have ever heard or seen of this vinyl!!! Absolutely beautiful!!! The thick quality pressed chunky 1960's vinyl looks and feels great (it is very heavy!).

The classic laminated Garrod & Lofthouse sleeve is also in absolutely beautiful condition!!! What is so amazing about this sleeve is that the laminate is in beautifully preserved condition, it is very rare like this. The sleeve lies perfectly FLAT with NO RING WEAR and NO faults at all save for a tiny pin-prick sized mark on the unlaminated back side (which is so small I have only just noticed it in 35 -odd years! And the tiny initials in the bottom rich corner, again on the unlaminated reverse side. The spine is mint with mint legible spine text as are the edges and corners - this is a superb-looking sleeve; one of the best example you will probably see!!! I have no hesitation in grading is as Excellent!!! Of course, the LP comes with its Original inner sleeve! It has the correct 'patent pending' text and is in crisp, clean and un-blemished MINT- condition!!!

Please check out our feedback and bid with confidence as this is a no reserve auction with a very low starting price!  This is seen by many as one of the best progressive records ever made -  and UK 1st press copies in such stunning condition are as such is in very high demand today. If you have never heard it, you will not find another copy that looks or plays more pristinely than this- it will blow you away!!! If you are a collector/investor, the price of this record will just rise and rise. An absolutely essential (and very rare) record to own!!! This is a very special record in this kind of condition - don't miss it!!!

I have tried to show you the record from all angles using extra large images. If you are not sure of anything just email me - I will be happy to help. Don't underestimate the rarity of this LP - finding a UK 1st press of this LP in this kind of condition is impossible today; Good Luck!

It has recently been pointed out to me that some eBay sellers have been using my images without permission. If you are thinking of lifting a picture or two from my pages - don't. You will be reported and your auction will be removed by eBay. It's not that I mind, in fact its kinda flattering, my real problem is that whoever does this is not showing a true image of the actual record they are selling. The condition of old 1960's & 70's records varies greatly, no two are in exactly the same condition when they are this age. All my pictures are very specific to the actual records I sell and it is wholly misleading to to show these images with reference to a different record. Thanks. 

I will be selling my entire UK 1st Press collection of 1960/70's Psych/Prog./Beat/Rock & Folk over the coming months, most of these records are in Mint- condition, many having 3 figure book prices. All will be listed here on eBay UK, most with a £2.99 start and No Reserve - bookmark my pages. Like the vast majority of my collection, this record has been archived upright in a thick outer PVC sleeve in a smoke & damp free environment since purchase!

All my records have No reserve, a Low Start and No Surcharges!

Refunds & Feedback ... Please read this carefully ... We try to give you the best quality examples of rare records available.

We strictly adhere to it and will only offer refunds (minus the postage AND our eBay costs) if we are satisfied that we have fallen below UK record collector grading standards.

We will not be impressed with buyers disputing our gradings without even bothering to check the UK record collector grading standards chart first - you have been warned ...

Buyers who continually Haggle, Whine and Moan to try to decrease the price they won their auctions for will be blocked from bidding on future auctions and can toodle off down to HMV or Virgin where they can harass the counter staff there.

We will always leave feedback upon receipt of feedback. In an ideal world we would like to leave feedback as soon as the record has been shipped but due to feedback blackmail in the past (i,e, ",,,I want a partial refund or I will leave negative feedback") we have opted to take this measure. Contact must be made within 3 days of winning the auction. If payment has not been received after 10 days a non paying bidder alert will be placed. If payment is then not received within 7 days Negative feedback WILL be left and the buyer WILL be given a strike by eBay. Thanks for reading.
