	£		77
	$		102

THIS IS THE FIRST IN A NUMBER OF RARE AND HIGHLY COLLECTABLE PINK FLOYD ALBUMS THAT I WILL BE LISTING FOR SALE IN THE COMING WEEKS. HAVE A LOOK AT MY FEEDBACK RATINGS, AND BID WITH TOTAL CONFIDENCE. WHAT I DESCRIBE IS WHAT YOU GET.

OK. HERE WE HAVE THE CLASSIC "WISH YOU WERE HERE" FROM PINK FLOYD. IT IS A GENUINE VERY EARLY FIRST PRESSING, AS WILL BE EXPLAINED FURTHER ON IN GREAT DETAIL. JUST AS A QUICK SUMMARY- IT HAS 95% OF ITS COVER SAFELY HOUSED IN ITS ORIGINAL BLACK SHRINKWRAP OUTER, THE CROPPED INNER SLEEVE IS AS THE FIRST ISSUE SHOULD BE, AND MINT. THE POSTCARD IS ALSO MINT AND THE LABELS MINT ALSO. ALL IN ALL, THE COMPLETE PACKAGE WITH FIRST MOTHER STAMPERS, AND THE MATRIX NUMBERS A1 B3, AGAIN THE VERY EARLIEST OUTSIDE OF THE ORIGINAL TEST DISCS! NOW THE FINER DETAILS:-

THE COVER:   95% COVERED WITH BLACK SHRINKWRAP (ONLY 1st ISSUES). TIGHT TO THE BODY OF THE COVER, AND VERY SMOOTH. ONE SIDE OPEN FOR ALBUM REMOVAL. THE REAR IS INTACT, THE FRONT HAS 2 PINHOLES AND BOTTOM 2 CORNERS HAVE VERY MINIMAL EXPOSURE OF ABOUT  6-8mm, WHERE IT HAS SAT ON A SHELF. THE FRONT STICKER IS VIVID IN COLOUR, AND 100% MINT, NO ATTEMPT EVER MADE TO REMOVE IT. PEERING DOWN THE INSIDE OF THE PLASTIC, THE COVER LOOKS MINT. THE LEADING EDGE HAS MINIMAL FEATHERING WHERE THE VINYL HAS COME OUT. OVERALL GRADING IS A STRICT MINT-

 INNER SLEEVE;   BEAUTIFUL TRANSLUCENT COLOURS WITH NO FADING WHATSOEVER THE STIFF WHITE CARD IS IN FABULOUS CONDITION WITH THE 9 INCH THUMB NOTCH AND CROPPED CORNERS WITH BROWN INNER -AGAIN PROOF OF VERY FIRST ISSUE. NO CREASES OR DAMAGE OF ANY KIND ALTHOUGH BEING ULTRA FUSSY, THERE IS THE IMPRESSION OF THE DISC IN THE CARD, BUT NOT RINGWEAR, JUST THE IMPRESSION. THE RED/ORANGE VEIL IN THE PICTURE SEEMS TO FLOAT OFF THE CARD! SUPERB VISUALS. A LOVELY ORIGINAL FIRST ISSUE STRICTLY GRADED AS MINT-.

THE POSTCARD;   THE POSTCARD IS SIMPLY STUNNING! ORIGINAL PRINT BY HIPGNOSIS, CRINKLE EDGED AND TOTALLY WITHOUT FAULT. HAS A DEEP SHEEN AND THE REAR IS CLEAN AND BRIGHT. STRICTLY GRADED MINT.

LABELS;   BOTH LABELS ARE SPOTLESS AND WITHOUT FAULT. NOT A MARK IN SIGHT, AS SHOWN IN PHOTOGRAPHS. THE SPINDLE HOLES ARE TIGHT, AND THERE IS NOT A TRACE OF SPIDERING AT ALL!! LOOKS LIKE IT HAS NEVER SEEN A TURNTABLE, EVER!! THE ONLY THING EVIDENT ON EITHER LABEL IS THE SLIGHTEST "WRINKLING" AT THE CENTRE, WHICH IS WHERE THE LABEL WAS ORIGINALLY STUCK ON IN THE FACTORY, BUT BARELY NOTICEABLE. STRICT GRADING IS MINT- FOR BOTH SIDES.

THE VINYL;   THE ONLY THING THAT STOPS BOTH SIDES OF THIS FROM BEING STRICTLY GRADED AS MINT IS A MARK ON SIDE ONE. HOWEVER, THIS MARK DOES NOT INTRUDE ONTO THE MUSIC GROOVES, IT IS CONFINED TO THE LEAD IN SECTION OF THE DISC, AND DOES NOT AFFECT THE SOUND QUALITY IN ANY WAY. I AM NOT SURE WHAT THE MARK IS, BUT IT HAS NO DEPTH, BUT CAN BE FELT. ASIDE FROM THIS, THE VINYL IS SUPERB, AS BEFITS THE REST OF THE PACKAGE. THE ONLY MARKS AT ALL ARE THE FEINT HAIRLINES ASSOCIATED WITH VINYL REMOVAL FROM ITS INNER SLEEVE. THESE ARE ONLY EVIDENT IN BRIGHT SUNSHINE, AND I AM CONFIDENT WOULD NOT BE HEARD ON PLAYBACK. I AM CONFIDENT THAT THIS RECORD HAS HAD VERY LITTLE OR NO PLAY. EVEN THOUGH I PLAYGRADE ON A LINN SONDEK TURNTABLE, I AM NOT GOING TO WITH THIS GEM, AS IT COULD POSSIBLY NOT HAVE BEEN PLAYED BEFORE, ITS CONDITION IS THAT GOOD.

MOTHER/STAMPER IDENTITIES;   RIGHT. THE CATALOGUE NUMBER IS SHVL 814. MATRIX SIDE ONE IS A1. MATRIX SIDE B IS B3. THESE ARE THE VERY EARLIEST MATRIX NUMBERS(APART FROM THE ORIGINAL TEST DISCS). THE MOTHER INDICES ARE BOTH 1, AGAIN OBVIOUSLY THE VERY EARLIEST POSSIBLE. THE STAMPER IDENTITIES FOR SIDE A ARE GMT, AND FOR SIDE B ARE GRT.

SO  THERE YOU HAVE IT!! A STUNNING TOTALLY ORIGINAL FIRST ISSUE/PRESSING. ALL ITS PARTS ARE CONSISTANT WITH BEING ONE OF THE VERY EARLIEST MADE. THIS IS NOT THAT HARD TO FIND GENERALLY, BUT A TRUE FIRST PRESS AND IN THIS CONDITION IS DIFFICULT TO FIND IN THE EXTREME. I DONT THINK THERE COULD BE A BETTER EXAMPLE ON THE MARKET- AND THIS IS A MUST FOR ANY COLLECTOR OR FLOYD FAN.

THE ALBUM WILL BE SENT FIRST CLASS RECORDED SERVICE, AND IN THE MOST SUBSTANTIAL PACKING. I WANT YOU TO RECEIVE IT AS IT LEFT ME. THE VINYL ITSELF WILL BE HOUSED IN A PROFESSIONAL NAGAOKA ANTI STATIC RECORD SLEEVE, AND THE VINYL WILL BE SEPERATED FROM ITS COVER TO PREVENT WEAR IN TRANSIT. THERE IS NO RESERVE ON THIS, AND WE ARE STARTING AT 99p- SO THERE YOU GO. WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? THE BEST IS NOW ON THE MARKET. ANY QUESTIONS AT ALL? PLEASE FIRE AWAY. I WILL ANSWER THEM ALL AS SOON AS I SEE THEM. GOOD LUCK, AND HAPPY BIDDING ON THIS RARITY.

WILL POST TO ANYWHERE WORLDWIDE ON CLEARANCE OF THE MONEY. PAYPAL PREFERED, BUT CHEQUES WILL BE ACCEPTED, BUT MUST CLEAR BEFORE I RELEASE THE ALBUM. ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE ASK. THANKYOU.
