Full item condition details below. 

Here's an Australian Tour Edition PINK VINYL pressing of the Dark Side Of The Moon LP by Pink Floyd, issued in 1988. This is an Aussie QUADRAPHONIC pressing purchased in Australia at a reputable Record Store in1988. There were only 3000 of these pressed!!! 

Colour - Deep Salmon Pink Vinyl.

This is the first and only issue of The Pink Floyd masterpiece "The Dark Side Of The Moon" to be pressed on Pink Vinyl

The vinyl is high quality and weighs a solid 145 grams approx. It is is SUPER RARE and the rarest official pressing of this album. It is in a very distinct salmon coloured pink like never seen before.

SQ - The record allows splitting to four channel Quadraphonic or two channel Stereo

Side A:  Matrix #    QHVL 804A-3   SHVLA 804-A

Side B :  Matrix #   QHVL 804 B-3  SHVLA 804-B  

(SQ) - This record will play on both Stereo &Quadraphonic systems.

This record will split to four channels on a quad system, or will split to two channels on a stereo system.

The playback quality from these Australian pink SQ pressings is magnificent, pressed on high quality vinyl.

The clarity is exceptional, and sounds a lot better than the 1987 black vinyl issue.

In my humble opinion, the original Aussie SQ pink vinyl editions are one of the best issues to have in your collection.

For sound, the UK First issues are number one, but these are number two on the list in my mind, because you get so much else: 

Official (most important)

Quadraphonic or Stereo playback.

The appropriate colour for Pink Floyd... Pink, a lovely rich and high quality looking, deep, salmon pink

The Limited Edition and rarity of only 3000 Pressed vs many millions of rabid fans worldwide

Directly linked to a concert tour 

High quality pink vinyl and sound engineering from Australia

This is a real show piece that really plays extremely well.

This was pressed as an afterthought in 1988 when Pink Floyd toured Australia on the Momentary Lapse Of Reason tour.

There was an official Australian SQ pressing in black Vinyl in1987, so that issue had been completed a few months prior. 

When this limited pink vinyl issue was pressed, there were no posters or stickers issued with it, and the sleeve is exactly the same one used for the black vinyl issue, just with the Limited Tour Edition sticker stuck on it.

It was sold in record stores in early 1988.

These are the only 3000 OFFICIAL pink vinyl pressings of Dark Side Of The Moon in the world.

Over 30 Million copies sold, only 3000 on pink vinyl. 

Also, PLEASE be aware, there are some reissues of this RARE item and they are very different and are NOT official. Don't pay good money for a fake. 

The fake will have the following issues:

The pink sticker on the fake is not a sticker - it is actually cheaply printed on the sleeve.

The audio is terrible on the unofficial reissues and even though it has the SQ logo on the sleeve, it is not Quadraphonic - it will NOT split to 4 channels on a Quadraphonic system

Be wary of these without the sticker, as they are more likely an unofficial reissue.

This brilliant album was engineered to be heard in Quadraphonic. 

Pink Floyd considered the album to be complete ONLY when the original Quadraphonic issue was released in December 1973.
