Description
A Rare Opportunity for Collectors: A Complete, High-Grade UK 2nd Pressing (1973)
This is a beautiful, complete UK copy of Pink Floyd's masterpiece, The Dark Side of the Moon. This particular version features the highly sought-after A-3 / B-3 matrix, widely considered by audiophiles to be the best-sounding early cut, as it fixed the "skipping" issues of the first press while retaining the incredible analog warmth of the original master tapes.
The Matrix Details:
Side 1: SHVL 804 A-3
Side 2: SHVL 804 B-3
The Condition:
Vinyl (VG+ to EX): The vinyl retains a beautiful deep gloss. It has been well-cared for and plays with superb clarity. Expect a powerful, immersive listening experience with minimal surface noise typical of a well-preserved 50-year-old record.
Cover (VG+): The iconic gatefold sleeve is in great shape, showing only light storage wear. Crucially, this copy still features the original round Pink Floyd hype sticker on the front—a rare survival that adds significant value.
Inserts (Complete):
Includes both original posters (Pyramids and Band) in excellent condition, with no pinholes or tape marks.
Includes both stickers (yellow/blue and green/blue).
Why buy this copy?
Most copies found today are "orphans"—missing the posters, stickers, or the hype sticker. This is a "day-one" complete set that has stayed together for five decades. Whether you are an audiophile looking for the definitive sound or a collector looking for a complete archive piece, this A-3/B-3 pressing is the one to own.
Shipping:
Sent in a professional record mailer with the vinyl removed from the sleeve to prevent seam splits during transit.
