Description
On offer here is a VERY rare LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by Pink Floyd called "Dark Side Of The Moon" and is an INCREDIBLY rare 1973 UK 1st Pressing - and is one of the EARLIEST copies EVER made!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!! THIS IS ONE OF PINK FLOYD'S MOST SOUGHT AFTER LPs EVER - AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE (LIKE THIS!)!!!! HOWEVER THIS LP IS MADE REALLY SPECIAL INDEED AS IT IS THE RAREST POSSIBLE VERSION OF THIS LP EVER MADE - AND WAS ONLY PRESSED LIKE THIS FOR AN ABSOLUTELY TINY AMOUNT OF TIME ONLY!!!! I WILL EXPLAIN EXACTLY WHY THIS LP IS SO MASSIVELY RARE!!!!
THIS LP WAS RELEASED IN 1973 - JUST BEFORE THE HARVEST LABEL CHANGE - FROM THE 'GRAMOPHONE COMPANY' EDGE TEXT, TO THE 'EMI RECORDS' EDGE TEXT. IN FACT THIS LP IS ONE OF THE LAST LPS EVER TO BE RELEASED WITH THE 'GRAMOPHONE COMPANY' EDGE TEXT ON THE HARVEST LABEL!!!! AND, AS MANY PEOPLE WILL ALREADY KNOW - THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSINGS OF THIS LP HAD A 'SOLID BLUE TRIANGLE' - AND THIS WAS CHANGED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER RELEASE (TO MATCH THE COVER!). NOT ONLY THAT BUT THE 'GRAMOPHONE COMPANY' EDGE TEXT WAS CHANGED AT ALMOST THE SAME TIME - AND DROPPED IN FAVOUR OF 'EMI RECORDS' TEXT THAT FOLLOWED ON ALL LATER PRESSINGS!!!! HOWEVER - JUST BEFORE 'THE GRAMOPHONE COMPANY' EDGE TEXT CHANGED AND JUST AFTER THE 'SOLID BLUE TRIANGLES' ENDED, ONLY A TINY HANDFUL WERE PRESSED WITH A TRANSPARENT TRIANGLE AND 'GRAMOPHONE COMPANY' LABEL EDGE TEXT!!!! AND THIS MAKES THIS LP VERY VERY RARE INDEED!!!! ONLY AN ABSOLUTELY TINY HANDFUL WERE EVER PRESSED LIKE THIS - AND IT IS WITHOUT ANY DOUBT THE RAREST POSSIBLE VARIATION OF THIS LP EVER MADE!!!! IN FACT THIS VARIATION IS SO INCREDIBLY RARE - THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE CONSISTENTLY QUOTED THAT THIS ULTRA RARE VARIATION DOESNT EVEN EXIST!!!! BUT HERE IT IS - AND IT IS UNDOUBTEDLY THE RAREST VARIATION OF THIS LP EVER PRESSED - AS BARELY ANY WERE EVER MADE!!!!
BUT THERE IS ALSO 1 MASSIVE 'ADDED BONUS' TO THIS LP!!!! AS YOU WOULD EXPECT (AS THIS LP WAS THE 'EARLIEST' STANDARD 1ST PRESSING EVER MADE - AND PRESSED ONLY DAYS AFTER THE 'SOLID BLUE TRIANGLES' ENDED!) - THIS LP IS VIRTUALLY IDENTICAL IN EVERY WAY TO A 'SOLID BLUE TRIANGLE' 1ST PRESSING!!!! IT HAS ONE OF THE 'EARLIEST POSSIBLE' MATRIXES EVER FOR THIS LP - ENDING IN A3/B2, AND HAS MASSIVELY THICK QUALITY VINYL!!!! THE LABELS HAVE THE 'GRAMOPHONE COMPANY' EDGE TEXT (CHANGED IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARDS!), AND THE RECORD ALSO COMES IN ITS ORIGINAL BLACK INNER SLEEVE (WHICH IS IN SUPERB CONDITION - WITH NO SPLITS!)!!!! BUT THE REAL ADDED BONUS ON THIS LP IS THAT IT HAS THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS 'DARK BLUE' GATEFOLD COVER (LATER CHANGED TO BLACK!) - WHICH IS IN FANTASTIC CONDITION, AND EASILY THE BEST I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!! THIS ULTRA RARE PRESSING IS ALSO 100% COMPLETE WITH ITS ORIGINAL 2 COLOUR POSTERS, AND 2 'CRACK BACK' STICKERS - AND ORIGINAL 'DARK SIDE OF THE MOON' STICKER ON THE COVER FRONT!!!!

The record labels are in STUNNING condition (see pictures) with NO writing, NO wear, and only a VERY few light spindle marks!!!! IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HASNT BEEN PLAYED MUCH AT ALL!!!! The vinyl is in absolutely BRILLIANT condition!!!! 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 scratches, only 2 ULTRA light hairline traces, 1 VERY light scuffline, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!! ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!! 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!!!!

Though there are rarely ever any problems with my items (I always try my very best to describe everything exactly!) - PLEASE REMEMBER to contact with me FIRST, if you have any problems at all, before you leave feedback and star ratings, so I get a chance to turn any negative experience into a positive one! I can always happily sort anything out for you, if you let me know you have a problem! This way no one has to leave Negative/Neutral feedback - and we both walk away happy! Please do NOT bid if you cannot give me at least 1 chance to sort everything out to your FULL satisfaction in the unlikely event of a problem. Thanks again - Graham @ XXXRecords.
PLEASE NOTE - Private feedback bidders must consult me first prior to bidding - due to previous problems regarding non-payment, and non-receipt. MY POSTAGE UNDERCHARGE GUARANTEE TO ALL BUYERS (I always undercharge on postage!):- Due to UK Royal Mail's obscene price increases this year - I have had no choice but to increase postage charges a little. Until this year - I had kept them exactly the same since I joined ebay back in 2002. However this years price increases have been so obscene, that I have had no choice but to increase my postage charges for the first time ever. However PLEASE NOTE - my absolute 100% guarantee to you as a buyer - is that I will ALWAYS undercharge postage on everything I send out. Even after the increases, I am still charging you the buyer LESS than I am being charged myself. On each package I send out - the price is clearly stated on the front of the package (please check it when you recieve it!). I also do NOT charge for packaging costs - ONLY for postal costs! And should you find that I have overcharged you postage in ANY way - I will refund DOUBLE the difference. THAT IS MY 100% POSTAL GUARANTEE FOR EACH AND EVERY BUYER! No buyer EVER deserves to be overcharged on postage - and on my listings, I'll make sure they are ALWAYS undercharged. Any questions - please ask!price rating
