Description
Welcome to my auctions....The time has come to sell my huge record collection over the next weeks/months...so check out my other vinyl listed, more added each week.
I am a private collector, selling my collection, I am not a dealer.
Pink Floyd - Meddle - Green Harvest Labels - 1st UK Pressing - Front and Back Textured Gatefold Sleeve with full text inside but no Patent number!!! (Only a few copies have the full right hand text but only the first few showed no patent number) and the very rare Factory Sealed Gatefold, Only one end is open...These are very rare indeed!!!
Even Discogs show that the 1st press sleeve should have Patent Number 1224339 as part of the right hand inner gatefold text, in ALL copies I've seen it is printed under Garrod & Lofthouse but this copy...maybe the earliest ever sleeve has no Patent Number but all of the other text...
SHVL 285
1971
SHVL 285 A-4 1 G G
SHVL 285 B-3 3 R R
The record is a bit dusty and could do with a clean.
Side 1 has one hairline scratch and 2 or 3 even fainter hairlines, slight sleeve removal marks , it has a nice shine
Side 2 has a couple of very very faint hairlines/sleeve removal marks but no other marks and again has a nice shine
Side 1 Label is clean and free from damage and wear, Side 2 label has a faded name in pen, under strong artificial light there are some spiders legs.
Original 1st press Textured Gatefold Sleeve has wear to spine, some wear to corners and edges,. But is overall solid and clean with only a bit of ringwear, Inside is generally clean. Garrod & Lofthouse.
Not perfect but a nice example
I will describe any flaws such as wear to sleeves, scuffs, marks or scratches to vinyl and describe them honestly, if you expect a better condition than I have listed then you need to learn to read. I will grade based on visual inspection under artificial light, I will not listen to every LP, I will listen to the rarer ones and give a play grading. PLEASE remember this is Vinyl...even brand new vinyl can have clicks and pops...that's part of its charm...if you want perfect audio without background noise...how about CD's or MP3's?
Due to my poor hearing, The record is sold as visually inspected/graded so please base your bidding solely on this.
With that said....many rarities will be listed, some fair condition some near mint.
Any questions...please ask.
Premium quality record mailers will be used with 2 sheets of additional cardboard.
