Cover Sticker:
· Some 1st pressings had a transparent sticker on the front cover that says (in black Scarfe lettering): "Pink Floyd The Wall". Some first pressings also came without these stickers. This one has a sticker.
Front Cover:
· The Wall is cream coloured, not white, with the bricks outlined in purple.
· The cover is made from a single sheet of wrap-around cardboard, and is of a thicker cardboard than on later printings. If there is a 'join' seam at the base of the gatefold cover as well as the top i.e. made from two pieces of card, it is not a first pressing cover. There should only be one seam join and that is at the top of the gatefold where the single sheet is joined.
· The bricks on the front cover are not aligned right to the bottom of the cover.
Back Cover:
· There is no scancode on the back cover.
Inside Cover:
· The credits on the inside cover do not list the members of Pink Floyd. It only says "Words and Music - Roger Waters."
· Inside cover “Produced by” credits are for David Gilmour, Bob Ezrin & Roger Waters. Later pressings have Roger Waters listed first.
Inner Sleeves:
· Heavy cardboard inner sleeves with rounded corners and a nine-inch thumb notch. Inside of inner sleeves are light brown - later pressings were white inside
· The inner sleeves catalogue numbers are on one line in the bottom right corner - see scan. Later pressings had the catalogue numbers on three lines. If the inner sleeves have the catalogue numbers on 3 lines rather than 1 line, they are not the earliest first pressings - see scan for the genuine earliest 1st pressing inner sleeve.
Picture label:
· Text around the top edge of the label starts at 7 o'clock and says:
“All rights of the manufacturer and of the owner of the recorded work reserved. Unauthorized public performance, broadcasting and copying of this record prohibited. Made in Great Britain. EMI Records (U.K.)”
· Darker blue background to the label than later pressings.
· Thicker vinyl than later pressings.
