THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS. I MIGHT EVEN GO AS FAR AS SAYING THAT IT IS TOTALLY UNIQUE. 

PLEASE READ ON TO FIND OUT WHY. 

THIS IS ONE OF PINK FLOYD'S RAREST & MOST SOUGHT AFTER LP'S. WHAT MAKES THIS LP REALLY SPECIAL IS THAT FIRSTLY, IT'S IN AMAZING CONDITION, STILL HAS ITS ORIGINAL 'BLACK OUTER SEAL', MISPRINTED PICTURE INNER SLEEVE', POSTCARD & STICKER AND IS 100% COMPLETE IN EVERY WAY

THE INNER PICTURE SLEEVE HAS BEEN MISPRINTED SO THE IMAGES ARE ACTUALLY DISPLAYED THE WRONG WAY UP! I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANOTHER COPY LIKE THIS! 99.9% OF THE TIME THE OPENING EDGE TO THE INNER SLEEVE IS AT THE TOP OF THE IMAGES, IN THIS CASE THE OPENING EDGE IS AT THE SIDE SO IN-TURN WHEN YOU LOAD THE RECORD ALL IMAGES AND TEXT ARE THE WRING WAY UP! PLEASE VIEW THE PICS IVE UPLOADED AND THEN PLEASE GO AND CHECK AGAINST ANY OTHER COPIES THAT YOU MAY HAVE, OR TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE FOR SALE! THE INNER SLEEVE ONLY HAS THREE OF ITS CORNERS ANGLED. AS FAR AS IM AWARE IT SHOULD BE ALL FOUR CORNERS. THESE ANGLES CORNERS ONLY SHOW UP ON THE ORIGINAL UK 1ST PRESSES, ALL LATER COPIES WILL HAVE THE ROUNDED CORNERS. 100% UNIQUE. 

WHEN THIS LP WAS FIRST RELEASED BACK IN 1975 - ALL 1ST PRESSINGS WERE SEALED IN A BLACK PLASTIC 'FACTORY SEAL' AND HAD A 'WISH YOU WERE HERE' STICKER PLACED ON THE FRONT OF THE BLACK PLASTIC WRAP. HOWEVER - BECAUSE THIS LP WAS 'FULLY FACTORY SEALED' - YOU HAD TO BREAK THE SEAL TO PLAY THE LP. NATURALLY 99.9% OF 1ST PRESSINGS HAD THE BLACK SEAL & STICKER COMPLETELY RIPPED OFF AND THROWN AWAY, AS BUYERS SIMPLY WERE UNCONCERNED WITH KEEPING IT, AND SIMPLY WANTED TO HEAR THE AWESOME MUSIC. HOWEVER, THIS LP WAS LOOKED AFTER AMAZINGLY WELL - WITH THE PLASTIC SEAL LEFT ON THE COVER & BARELY ACCESSED AT ALL!!!!  AND MOST IMPORTANTLY OF ALL - THE 'WISH YOU WERE HERE' STICKER IS STILL PROUDLY AND PERFECTLY STUCK ON THE FRONT COVER OF THE BLACK PLASTIC WRAP - EXACTLY WHERE IT WAS PLACED IN THE FACTORY BACK IN 1975. AND I CANNOT OVER STATE THE HUGE RARITY OF FINDING THIS LP STILL WITH ITS ORIGINAL 'BLACK PLASTIC FACTORY SEAL' & COVER STICKER!!!!  JUST HOW MANY EXIST LIKE THIS TODAY IS ANYONES GUESS - IN FACT - I WOULD GO AS FAR AS TO SAY THAT FOR EVERY 500 COPIES LISTED ONLINE - ONLY 1 OUT OF THOSE 500 WILL STILL HAVE THE BLACK SHRINK WRAP. IT REALLY IS THAT RARE AND TO TOP IT ALL OFF, THE INNER SLEEVE PICTURES AND CREDITS HAVE BEEN PRINTED INCORRECTLY.

ANOTHER IMPORTANT PART OF THE LP - IS THE ULTRA RARE 'POSTCARD'. THIS WAS ANOTHER PART OF THE LP THAT WAS OFTEN DEEMED SURPLUS TO REQUIREMENTS BY OWNERS, AND USUALLY THROWN AWAY ON THE VERY DAY OF PURCHASE. BUT THIS LP STILL HAS IT - AND IT HAS REMAINED IN FANTASTIC CONDITION!!!! 

THIS LP IS MADE EVEN RARER STILL, AS IT IS THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING EVER MADE - WITH ULTRA RARE 'A-1/B-3' MATRIX ENDINGS - WHICH WERE THE 'EARLIEST POSSIBLE' 1ST PRESS MATRIXES EVER MADE FOR THIS LP!!!!  NOT ONLY THAT (AS MENTIONED ABOVE!) THIS LP IS IN ABSOLUTELY AMAZING CONDITION - JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!!  THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1975 UK 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING ON THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS HARVEST LABEL, 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS 'A-1/B-3' MATRIX ENDINGS, 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS SHAPED 'PICTURE' INNER SLEEVE, 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS 'SERRATED EDGED' POSTCARD, 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS COVER, 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS 'BLACK PLASTIC' FACTORY SEAL, AND 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS 'WISH YOU WERE HERE' FRONT COVER STICKER!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - AND NOT TO MENTION THE MISPRINTING OF THE INNER SLEEVE SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS ONE OF A KIND AND UNIQUE LP.

Grading 

Vinyl - EX

The vinyl sits perfectly flat on the turntable and plays through superbly without any issues at all. A nice gloss to each side of the vinyl. No visible deep scratches/marks. Loud and crisp audio as it should be. Great audio from start to finish. Loud pressing and well pressed vinyl. There is some very soft (barely noticeable) static type background noise between tracks/quiet parts but nothing loud or overpowering in the slightest. The odd and isolated click here and there. Some very light and wispy surface marks can just be seen when reflecting in really bright light but nothing nasty or that would effect play at all, barely visible. It plays beautifully and sounds superb.

Sleeve - EX

Non-laminated sleeve in original black shrink wrap. Some storage wear, mainly along opening edge but nothing bad. The majority of the sleeve is protected by the shrink wrap. Still has two original WHSmith price stickers on front from when it was originally purchased. 

Inner Sleeve: NM

Unique mis-printed inner sleeve. The sleeve always has the opening edge to the top of the sleeve with the images below. This one has been printed the wrong way up, if you load the record from the top like all other copies, the images are the wrong way up, never seen another copy like it. Only three of the corners have the angled edge as well. 

Labels - NM 

No rips. No writing. Clean and bright.
