Description
Dark Side Of The Moon
Recorded at Abbey Road Studios, London between June 1972 and January 1973.
This is the original form of the release.
1. The label has a solid blue prism. Subsequent pressings have a blue glowing inner edge prism with the centre black.
2. ‘The Gramophone Co.’ text is centred on label above prism.
3. A2/B2 matrix in deadwax of run out groove.
4. Thick heavyweight vinyl believed by some to be the ‘finest’ and most true encapsulation of this historical recording, as the first pressing was pressed direct from the original master plate. “These 1st pressings were straight from the masters and nothing even gets close to them today. They play with a deep clear warm clarity and have to be heard to be believed!”
5. There is a distinct bluish tint/tinge in the black ink of the cover.
6. Gatefold sleeve is ‘folded in’ and factory sealed at one end. [To identify the original the cover must have the 'folded in' flap and not just be two sides 'glued' together].
7. Inner sleeve is a distinctive polythene lined die cut black semi matt paper with white printed text stating 2 patent numbers bottom left [112555/1072844] and ‘MADE IN GREAT BRITAIN’ bottom right.
Originally came with 2 posters and 2 stickers which are included. The posters are in absolute mint condition, however one sticker has been stuck to the inner record sleeve and the other has been stuck to the inside cover. The record has no visible marks whatsoever and is in mint condition - as is the cover (see photos).
