Description
Extremely RARE earliest pressing of Pink Floyd “Dark Side of the Moon” LP – 1973 UK 1st issue with solid blue triangle on label.
Characteristics of 1st issue: • Matrix on vinyl: A2/B2 • Text on label: “The Gramophone Co. Ltd.” It was later changed to “EMI Records Ltd.” • Solid light blue triangle on label. On the second pressing, it was changed to the iconic blue outline of a triangle because the text was hard to read. • Stickers have “FasPrint PERMANENT” and “CRACKBACK PATENTED” on the back. • Die-cut black polylined inner sleeve with patent numbers and "Made in Great Britain" in silver at the bottom. Second pressing switched to white inner sleeve. • The right front opening of the gatefold cover is sealed with a fold over flap that is glued inside the opening. NOTE: Some copies had a round purple title sticker on the cover. Not all of them. There is no indication that this one had one to begin with.
