Pink Floyd Dark Side Of The Moon 1st Press Solid Blue EX/NM

	£		800
	$		1,060

Pink Floyd Dark Side Of The Moon original UK 1st pressing 100% complete.

Comes with original black poly-lined inner sleeve (patent number proves this), with original posters and stickers and the original 1st press 'midnight blue' cover with a sealed left edge.

I have owned this for over 20 year. It has been stored in a vinyl box out of any light in record protection sleeves & anti-static record sleeve to keep it in the same condition as I bought it in.  

Vinyl matrix numbers are as follows:

Side 1: SHVL 804 A-2

Side 2: SHVL 804 B-2

Sleeve: In Excellent (EX) condition. This is the original 1st press 'midnight blue' cover with sealed left edge, the cover has the blue color tinge which was only the 1st pressing that have. There is a small amount of storage wear to the corners and some very mild-wear/ring-wear to the surfaces mainly on the back cover as you can see on the photo's, but overall this is in superb condition for its age, hard to find covers in this great condition. (see photo’s)

Vinyl Visual: Near Mint (NM) The vinyl is shining like new has retained its original high sheen. Under bright light I cannot see any hairlines at all ! It looks like new. It’s virtually impossible to find copies that look as good as this. (See photos) No scratches, No hairlines, the only thing I can see is a tiny amount of wispy sleeve removal, but this can only be seen under very bright light at certain angles. Visually this copy is almost perfect. (see photos) 

Vinyl Audio: Excellent (EX) Since owning this I have only played this two times (once being today) as it was bought as more of a collectors item rather than playing it. I just played the entire album today to analyse the audio rating for this advert, and here is what it played like : 

The vinyl record sounds great. This copy does Not have the pressed skip in 'Money' often found on first pressings. There are No jumps or skips anywhere on this copy. The album plays with incredible audio only the usual static at the start of the run in on each side (this is normal) which then fades out to play with clear audio. Even in most of the quiet parts of the album it plays with fantastic audio, in some parts of the album play there are some static crackle but this is only here and their, there is No grove-wear, and the majority of the album plays with no static crackle at all, their are also a few light ticks at the start of " On The Run " & " Us & Them ", but hardly any. You will find it very hard to find a copy like, it sounds superb. Due to the quality of the audio on this copy it is obvious it has Not been played that much over the years. 

Labels: Near Mint (NM) both labels look clean & crisp (see photo’s) No writing, No marks, No colour deterioration, only some very light spindle marks which as very hard to see, in superb condition.  

Inner sleeve: Excellent Plus (EX+) This is the original black, poly-lined inner sleeve, with patent number which proves it is the original (see photo’s). There are no tears or seam splits, only a very small amount of creasing you can see on the photos.

Posters: Excellent (EX)  These posters are also in superb condition they have No pin-holes or splits, only a tiny amount of creasing & a couple of little bit yellowing discoloration on the back of the posters due to the age, but it’s very minimal, this is the only reason I gave it only an Excellent rating otherwise it would be (EX+) 

Stickers: MINT (M) These are the original FASTPRINT stickers with wavy-lines on the backing paper. They are both unused, No creasing, No colour deterioration, No tears or marks. Basically MINT.
