Description
ANOTHER CLASSIC PINK FLOYD ALBUM FROM MY OWN COLLECTION. THIS IS THE ORIGINAL UK FIRST PRESSING OF "THE WALL". NOT MUCH NEEDS TO BE WRITTEN ABOUT THIS ICONIC DOUBLE ALBUM, EXCEPT TO SAY THAT IT HAS ALL THE ATTRIBUTES THAT MAKE IT A GENUINE FIRST PRESS. THE FACT THAT IT IS A FIRST PRESS IS NOT THAT RARE OR UNUSUAL. THERE WERE MANY PRESSED FOR LAUNCH DATE- EXPECTED SALES WERE INCREDIBLY HIGH, SO VARIOUS PRESSES WERE WORKING FLAT OUT TO COPE WITH DEMAND, SO MANY MATRIX VERSIONS ARE AROUND, AND SOUND QUALITY FLUCTUATED WILDLY! HOWEVER, THIS COPY IS A GEM, AND ALSO COMES WITH THE ORIGINAL GERALD SCARFE ARTWORK THAT WAS PROMOTING THE RELEASE.
THE DOUBLE GATEFOLD IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, HAVING BEEN STORED IN A DOULE JACKET COVER SINCE DAY ONE. BOTH INNER SLEEVES ARE IN EXCELLENT ORDER TOO. NOT A SPLIT OR A CREASE TO BE SEEN. THE VINYLS ARE BOTH IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, WITH ONLY THE VERY SLIGHTEST OF SURFACE MARKS CONSISTENT WITH REMOVAL OF THE DISCS FROM THOSE DAMNED CARDBOARD INNERS. THE LABELS ARE LOVELY, WITH ONLY A TRACE OF SPINDLE SPIDERS. THESE HAVE HAD LITTLE PLAY BEFORE BEING RECORDED TO TAPE.THE PROMO POSTER IS A RARE EXAMPLE. I HAVE NOT SEEN MANY OFFERED BEFORE. IT HAS BEEN STUCK TO A WALL (APT!) BEFORE, AND HAS TAPE EVIDENCE AND BLU-TAK TO REAR AND HAS BEEN TAPED IN ONE PLACE TO MEND A TEAR. HOWEVER, IT IS STILL A GREAT PIECE OF FLOYD HISTORY TO GO WITH THE ALBUM. SOUND QUALITY IS FANTASTIC. DEEP, ENGAGING AND POWERFUL. BARELY A TRACE OF BACKGROUND NOISE IN QUIETER SECTIONS. TRULY GREAT AUDIO.
THE FIRST PRESS CRITERIA? YES, BRICKS NOT ALIGNED TO BOTTOM. YES, OUTLINED IN PURPLE. YES, NO BAND MEMBER CREDITS. YES, 9" THUMB NOTCHES AND ROUNDED CORNERS ON INNERS. ETC ETC. IT HAS THEM ALL! ALL THESE PIECES MAKE THIS A LITTLE MORE RARE THAN THE AVERAGE FIRST PRESSES ON THE MARKET, AND AS SUCH MAKE IT PROBABLY THE BEST AVAILABLE. WELL WORTH OWNING. SO GOOD LUCK IF YOU DECIDE TO BID.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS AT ALL, PLEASE ASK AWAY, AND I WILL ANSWER THEM ALL JUST AS SOON AS I SEE THEM.
I AM HAPPY TO SELL WORLDWIDE, AND WILL OFFER POSTAGE AND INSURANCE OPTIONS AT THE END OF SALE IF THE VALUE OF THE ITEM EXCEEDS THE NORMAL COMPENSATION FIGURE OF £34.
