Here we have DARK SIDE OF THE MOON released 1973 by the PINK FLOYD.
This is a SOLID BLUE TRIANGLE early issue with the matt greeny blue/black sleeve.
There is a little damage to the back of the sleeve read on........

For an unknown period of time, possibly 30 years this record hung in a frame on the wall of a radio station. Then it was taken down and put into a storeroom with other 'pictures'. Unfortunately someone without much knowledge had framed it and had stuck tape round the edge of the LP cover to hold it in place. When I came into my posession the tape had been removed and the cover had some damage which had been coloured in with black felt tip! However what we are left with is still a very rare, very nice, very desireable example of an early copy of Dark Side Of The Moon.

The cover is the original greeny blue/black, the print is clearer and finer than later covers. The front is very good with a couple of handling creases and rubs to the corners. The inside is super, clean. The back cover has some damage, the tape has taken the top surface of the paper off next to the spine at the top, a piece about 2 inch by half an inch. This has been coloured in black but is visible - see second photo. That damage aside, the cover is very good. The left hand side pocket has come unstuck, the original glue is visible inside, it is not tucked in just cut edges.

The record sleeve is black paper with clear plastic inner, and white lettering, again good condition.

The posters are very good and flat, no pin holes.

The stickers, the darker one is very good, the lighter one has a crease where it was tucked around the fold of the LP sleeve. Darker one says 'crack back' on reverse whereas the lighter one says 'permanent'.

The record is super heavyweight vinyl, bright and clean some tiny surface marks. It seems to have had very little play, there are just a few light spindle marks at the centres.
I would say condition is - Side One VG++(mint?) - Side Two VG+
Side 2 has a very small light surface scratch which does not effect the sound when played.
I have played it once both sides, it has a real depth to it.
