Description

On offer here is a VERY rare LP Top Quality copy one of the best iv ever seen ! by Pink Floyd called "Dark Side Of The Moon" and is an ORIGINAL 1973 UK 1st Pressing on the ULTRA RARE 1st Press 'Solid Blue Triangle' Harvest label!!!
THIS IS ONE OF PINK FLOYD'S RAREST & MOST SOUGHT AFTER LPs EVER!!!!  BUT WHAT MAKES THIS LP REALLY SPECIAL, IS THAT IT IS THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING EVER MADE - WITH SOME AMAZING DIFFERENCES THAT ALL LATER PRESSINGS SIMPLY DO NOT HAVE!!!!   THIS LP HAS SOME INCREDIBLE DIFFERENCES (INCLUDING THE COVER, INNER, STICKERS, POSTERS, LABELS, MATRIXES & INSERTS!) THAT ALL LATER ONES DONT HAVE - AND IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO EXAMINE THEM IN GREAT DETAIL!!!!  THIS LP WAS ONLY EVER PRESSED LIKE THIS FOR AN ABSOLUTELY TINY AMOUNT OF TIME ONLY - AND WAS CHANGED STRAIGHT AFTER RELEASE!!!!  AS A RESULT IT IS ONE OF THE ULTIMATE PINK FLOYD RARITIES AND INCREDIBLY SOUGHT AFTER!!!!  
THE MATRIXES ON THE RECORD, ARE THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS MATRIXES - ENDING IN A2/B2 (LATER ONES DONT!)!!!!  SECONDLY THE LABELS ALSO HAVE THE CORRECT 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS 'GRAMOPHONE COMPANY' LABEL EDGE TEXT (LATER PRESSINGS HAD THIS CHANGED THIS TO 'EMI RECORDS' TEXT INSTEAD!)!!!!  THIRDLY THE RECORD LABELS HAVE THE ULTRA RARE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS 'SOLID LIGHT BLUE' TRIANGLE ON BOTH SIDES - WHICH WAS IMMEDIATELY CHANGED TO THE COMMON 'TRANSPARENT' TRIANGLE (WHICH APPEARS ON ALL LATER PRESSINGS!) AS THE TEXT WAS HARD TO READ (AND IT DIDNT MATCH THE COVER!)!!!!  FOURTHLY THE STICKERS HAVE 'BROWN LINES' & 'FASPRINT CRACKBACK' ON THE REVERSE (LATER ONES DONT!).  
FIFTHLY, THE POSTERS ARE OF THE 'EARLIEST POSSIBLE' 1ST PRESS TYPE - WITH VERY THIN PAPER, 'LAYERED' SCREEN PRINTING (LATER ONES FROM THE LATE 1970s/80s - ARE OBVIOUSLY MADE USING A DIFFERENT PRINTING TECHNIQUE), AND HAS A THE SAME SHINY SURFACE ON THE BACK & FRONT OF THE POSTERS!!!!  SIXTHLY THE INNER IS OF THE CORRECT 1ST PRESS SHAPE AND STILL FULLY 'POLY-LINED'   AND LASTLY THE COVER IS ALSO A 100% GENIUNE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS COVER TOO  BECAUSE ONLY A TINY HANDFUL OF THE 'EARLIEST POSSIBLE' 1ST PRESS COVERS ONLY - WERE EVER PRESSED WITH A DARK BLUE COLOURED COVER & 'FACTORY SEALED' AT ONE END - BEFORE BEING ALMOST IMMEDIATELY CHANGED TO A JET BLACK 'UNSEALED' COVER INSTEAD!!!! AND IN FACT - THEY ARE EVEN RARER THAN THE ACTUAL 'SOLD BLUE TRIANGLE' RECORDS THEMSELVES - AS THE COLOUR ON THE COVER WAS CHANGED EVEN BEFORE THE 1ST PRESSING RUN ENDED (AND BARELY ANY 'FACTORY SEALED' AT ONE END COVERS WERE EVER MADE IN BLUE!)!!!!  SO THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT AT ALL - THAT THIS IS THE 'EARLIEST' & RAREST 1ST PRESSING OF THIS AMAZING LP THAT YOU CAN POSSIBLY GET!!!! 


NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS LP IS IN ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT CONDITION - AND IS 100% COMPLETE WITH 2 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS POSTERS & 2 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS STICKERS AND 1ST PRESS BLACK 'POLY-LINED' INNER SLEEVE (ALL AS DETAILED ABOVE!)!!!!  JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!!  THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1973 UK 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING ON THE ULTRA RARE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS 'SOLID LIGHT BLUE TRIANGLE' HARVEST LABEL, GENERIC BLACK DIE-CUT 'POLY LINED' INNER SLEEVE, 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS A2/B2 MATRIX ENDINGS, 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS 'GRAMOPHONE COMPANY' EDGE TEXT.
