Description

This is a ‘solid blue pyramid’ enthusiasts-only copy of Dark Side of the Moon bought by me on its’ first day of issue in 1973, stored in a protective sleeve and rarely handled . All posters & stickers are totally original & have never been out of the virtually perfect gatefold cover (see the photos).

The record itself is contained in the original black, polythene lined inner sleeve, has no scratches, hairline or otherwise and sounds exactly as it did on the day it was bought with all the distinctive character of vinyl.

I also include with this sale a perfect copy of TAKRL1903 (In Celebration of the Comet, The Coming of Kahoutek) which is a live recording by The Amazing Kornyfone Record Label of ‘Dark Side’ from the Floyd concert at The Rainbow Theatre, London on 17th Feb 1972 that I view as being inseparable from the official release (which it pre-dates by a year) and, in its’ own way, sounds just as good with all the atmosphere of a live performance that’s missing from studio versions.

If you look very carefully at the photos you’ll notice that the stickers have some small creases to the bottom right hand corner from being snagged, at some stage in the last 40 years, at the bottom of the gatefold. I mention this for the sake of total accuracy rather than it being a material issue!

I’m selling because I’m in the process of down-sizing so this is a genuine sale by a private seller (see my feedback). You’re unlikely to ever find a better copy of this iconic album and its live counterpart ... happy bidding!
