On offer here is a VERY rare LP (especially in this condition!!!!) 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 LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!!  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!!!!  AND THIS IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ON THIS LP!!!!  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!!!!  I WILL NOW EXPLAIN WHAT MAKES THIS LP SO AMAZINGLY RARE - AND ALSO SHOW THAT EVERY SINGLE PART OF THIS LP HAS BEEN TOGETHER (WITH NO PARTS 'SWOPPED'!) SINCE THE DAY IT WAS MADE BACK IN 1973!!!! 

FIRSTLY 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 'FASSON' & 'FASPRINT' ON THE REVERSE OF THE STICKERS (BUT NO BROWN LINES) AND ARE THE CORRECT COLOUR OF 1ST PRESS STICKERS (LATER ONES ARE DIFFERENT!).  FIFTHLY, THE INNER IS BLACK, MATT, 'POLY-LINED' AND HAS THE CORRECT 1ST PRESS 'SILVER TEXT'!!!!   AND LASTLY THE COVER IS ALSO A 100% GENIUNE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS COVER TOO - BEING DARK BLUE (INSTEAD OF THE LATER BLACK!) & HAS THE VERY RAREST 1ST PRESS VARIATION - BEING OPEN AT BOTH ENDS!!!!  SO THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT AT ALL - THAT THIS IS THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING OF THIS AMAZING LP THAT YOU CAN POSSIBLY GET!!!!

THIS LP IS ALSO MADE EVEN RARER STILL - AS IT IS AN ULTRA RARE 'FACTORY SAMPLE' 1ST PRESSING!!!!  AND AGAIN, THIS IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ON THIS LP!!!!  'FACTORY SAMPLE' PRESSINGS WERE ONLY EVER PRESSED IN ABSOLUTELY TINY AMOUNTS (NO MORE THAN A HUNDRED COPIES AT THE VERY MOST!), AND WERE ONLY EVER USED FOR 'IN-HOUSE' USE BY EMI / HARVEST THEMSELVES (FOR PROMOTIONAL PURPOSES), OR VERY OCCASSIONALLY ONE WAS GIVEN OUT TO 'IMPORTANT VISITORS' TO THE FACTORY - SUCH AS PROSPECTIVE CLIENTS FOR EXAMPLE!!!!  'FACTORY SAMPLES' WERE NEARLY ALWAYS THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSINGS EVER MADE (AS IN THIS CASE!) - AND ARE TRULY EXCEPTIONALLY HARD TO FIND TODAY!!!!  BARELY ANY 'FACTORY SAMPLE' 1ST PRESSINGS OF THIS LP WERE EVER MADE - MAKING THIS LP OF THE UTMOST RARITY!!!!

NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS LP IS IN GREAT CONDITION - AND IS STILL A VERY VERY DECENT EXAMPLE INDEED!!!!  IT IS ALSO 100% COMPLETE WITH ITS 2 1ST PRESS 'SHINY' POSTERS, 2 1ST PRESS FASSON/FASPRINT STICKERS AND 1ST PRESS BLACK 'POLY-LINED' INNER SLEEVE + 'SILVER TEXT'!!!!  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, 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS BLACK 'TEXTURED' DIE-CUT 'POLY-LINED' SILVER TEXT INNER SLEEVE, 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS A2/B2 MATRIX ENDINGS, 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS 'GRAMOPHONE COMPANY' EDGE TEXT, 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS 'SHINY' POSTERS & 'FASPRINT' CRACKBACK STICKERS, AND 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS 'DARK BLUE' GATEFOLD 'GARROD & LOFTHOUSE' COVER (OPEN AT BOTH ENDS!)!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!!  This is the ORIGINAL Harvest UK 1st Pressing from 1973 and is in GREAT condition!!!!  The Cat. No is SHVL 804 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press 'Solid Light Blue Triangle' Harvest label (see picture) and is a UK Stereo 1st Pressing (there were NO Monos)!!!!

The record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO stickers, a VERY small unreadable annotation on 1 label (this is almost IMPOSSIBLE to notice!), NO wear, and only a few light spindle marks!!!!  The vinyl is in GREAT condition overall - and is still VERY bright & shiny looking indeed!!!!  Most of these 60s/70s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO nasty concentric marks AT ALL, only 3 or 4 VERY light hairlines, NO nasty 'tick' marks AT ALL, only 3 or 4 VERY light scufflines, and 3 or 4 TINY hairlines.  Now this might sound like a fair amount - but almost ALL of these details are ONLY visible under VERY bright light, and the overall impression is of a VERY bright & shiny looking record indeed!!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND SHINES LIKE NEW!!!!  It is also great to find that the playing of the record is as STUNNING as the visual!!!!  It plays with NO skips, only a few light clicks, NO jumps, NO sticks, and barely ANY crackle AT ALL!!!!  Of course, common to almost ALL copies of this LP (as manufactured!) there is some slight background sound on the run on grooves & gaps - though this is lost WAY behind ALL but the VERY quietest parts of the music ONLY!!!!  And of course, most of this LP is very VERY loud indeed!!!!  Importantly there are NO jumps on the track 'Money' (most do!) - with this track (and the rest of the LP!) playing through without ANY tracking issues AT ALL!!!!  The actual sound quality itself is simply SUPERB with NO groovewear and NO distortion either!!!!  The record must MEGA STRICTLY grade Good+ (PROPERLY graded, NOT trashed!) if not better - though I suspect most would grade higher than this!!!!  A VERY BRIGHT & SHINY LOOKING RECORD INDEED!!!!  Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!!  The record also comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press Black 'Poly-lined', Textured, Die-Cut, 'Silver Text' inner sleeve which is in BRILLIANT condition - with NO edge splits, and NO centre hole splits either!!!!  THE ULTRA RARE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS 2 'SHINY' POSTERS AND 2 'FASPRINT' STICKERS ARE IN ABSOLUTELY SUPERB CONDITION - AND CLEARLY HAVENT EVER LEFT THE COVER!!!!  The ULTRA RARE 'Earliest' 1st Press 'Dark Blue' Gatefold Cover (with both ends open!) is in GREAT condition!!!!  It has NO splits, NO sticker tears, NO edge wear (apart from some almost INVISIBLE 'touching in' traces!), NO sticker marks, NO spinal wear, only VERY slight corner wear (NOT through the colour!), only some VERY light rubbing to the cover front, only slight rubbing to the cover back, NO writing impressions, only a VERY few light creases (cover is VERY flat looking!), NO rips, NO tears, only some very VERY minor evidence of 'tipping in' to the corners, NO annotations, and NO writing!!!!  The opening edges are beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL!!!!  Even the inside of the cover is in SUPERB condition with NO yellowing, barely ANY rubbing AT ALL, NO ringwear, NO grubbyness, and NO writing!!!!  And despite the slight rubbing, the cover is BRILLIANT all other respects and must grade Very Good+ if not better!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND AS A 100% GENIUNE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING WITH 'SOLID BLUE TRIANGLE' & BEING A 'FACTORY SAMPLE' - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
