RARELY EVER SEEN LIKE THIS!!!! LOOK SO RARE!  NEVER NEED TO UPGRADE!!!!!! SO RARE TO FIND LIKE THIS !! MATRIX 4U,3U AND 3U,2U  !!!!!!!!!!!!

1ST PRESSINGS ARE HARD TO FIND IN THIS AWESOME CONDITION VERY COLLECTABLE AND SOUGHT AFTER!!!!

The Vinyls

The 1st important note is that these are the original thicker type of vinyl than the later pressings which are much more flimsier and less robust!!

It is quite obvious that on initial inspection that these vinyls look almost as new, and it is very dificult to see that these have ever been played at all! It is in fact very hard to see a blemish on the playing surfaces at all!!    Any marks that could be possibly be seen looked under strong light would be light whyspy sleeve removal marks only! In fact both vinyls look and sound like they have only ever been played one or two times ever!!! Try to find better 1st issue after 31 years!! 

It is all to easy to be critical about 70s vinyls but the audio quality on these will be hard to surpass!!!  Please allow for static on these 70s vinyls which is very common. The fact that these original vinyls are in virtually unplayed condition makes the difference for the best audio quality available on these pressings!!!!! THIS AUDIO WILL BE HARD TO SURPASS!!!!

The Audio Quality

I have very carefully listened and played these vinyls at very loud volume on a top system prior to listing.  The first important thing to note is that there is absolutely no distortion and the audio is cristal clear and vibrant throughout, with unsurpassable stereo seperation!! There are no loud pops and certainly no skips or jumps at all! Perhapes the odd light static ticks evedent in very very few and quiet places but amaisingly I heard none of the normal background static crackle so common on these pressings during the main audio, even when new!! I would say that for the most part that all four sides, during the main audio, played very very near perfect throughout!!! I will grade the audio as at least excellent , and for the most part during the main audio very near mint in my opinion!!

The Labels

All four are awesome. no nasty marks  and are extreemely clean look as new in my opinion I can just barely see that this has even been played! in fact  if it has it would only be two or three times if that!!! Quite unbeleivable for a 31 year old original 1st press!!! no spindleware, the holes are perfectly round!!

The inner record sleeves.

These are the original 1st press lyric sleeves (AS NEW ) feature the cataloge numbers. only early press!! Top examples!!!! Near mint!!!

The Cover

This is the original unlaminated gatefold cover with the join only at the top (the sleeve is one piece of card). Also importantly on the inside of the gatefold  it does NOT list the members of pink floyd.  Features ''Words and Music Roger Waters (except waters Gilmour)...'' in the same box\brick (only 1st UK issue) later issues, this text was changed! Very Very hard to find in this condition!! no creases to mention. No storageware or ringware you have to look hard for any!!! No rubbing at the edges and sharp corners!!! Lovely and clean!!!! (An important feature is that there is barely any yellowing with age this is generally lovely and white!! More importantly no ringware. This must be at least excellent plus if not better!! original authentic UK 1st issue gatefold!!!

TESTED ON TECHNICS SL-D2 WITH NEW ORTOFON CARTRIDGE AND NEW ORTOFON PRO S NEEDLE
