Description

PINK FLOYD - WISH YOU WERE HERE LP (ORIGINAL UK WHITE LABEL TEST PRESSING - SHVL 814 A1/B1).
SUPER RARE HOLY GRAIL
This is one of the first copies of this iconic album ever to be pressed in any form. The matrix numbers are stamped SHVL 814  A1 and SHVL 814 B1. The side two matrix was never commercially released as B1 - indeed the earliest matrix number released was B3 with only the A side carrying the A1 stamp. 
The original UK LP was issued in 1975 by Harvest Records with the cat. no. SHVL 814, and - I believe - in the months leading up to release EMI sales reps were sent out to UK record shops with this now extremely rare white label promo before sleeves and labels were printed.
Legend has it that only 25 Copies were pressed for the sales force, but even regardless of the exact truth of this, white label promotional Floyd items come up for auction seldom enough that I can safely assume that they're very rare !
Original UK white label test pressing of the seminal 1975 LP from Pink Floyd. This copy with white labels and artist name/title/track info handwritten. 
With earliest matrix for this release (machine stamped) SHVL 814 A-1 & B-1 with 1 G mother/stampers both sides. 
I have not attempted to clean this record so a professional clean might do wonders I couldn't say but below is my honest description.
The record is in overall GOOD condition but it has surface marks and light scratches, but it plays without jumping, a very occasionally click now and again, it is most noticeably crackly in the quieter places of the record and you can Clearly hear that, and at the end of Side 2 is quite noisy to finish, but when everything is playing, as its such a loud pressing it does overpower all that, PLEASE DO NOT EXPECT A BEAUTIFUL HEAVENLY LISTENING EXPERIENCE it IS an Amazing LOUD Pressing and very enjoyable but noisy in the quiet places. it comes with a Generic white sleeve.
Don't sleep on this Super Rare Pink Floyd Holy Grail .
