Description
PINK FLOYD - Dark Side of the Moon
record has been test played throughout on a Michell Gyrodec fitted with SMEIV tonearm and Musicmaker 3 cartridge after being cleaned on the Okki Nokki RCM.
record plays very well and lies perfectly flat on the platter.
additionally, i have taken the time to do some extensive research and will attempt to describe the item as accurately as possible hoping to cover all the points of interest important to collectors.
matrix numbers SHVL 804 A2/B2
very dark blue cover made from thickish card
left hand side of gatefold cover is not factory sealed. [apparantly there is some debate as to whether all genuine uk 1st pressings were actually factory sealed in this way]
there is some edge and corner wear
back cover displays the inverted prism. in the upper right corner it says 'SHVL 804 [IE 064 05249] stereo
inside cover states 'Printed and made by Garrod and Lofthouse Ltd' in blue text in lower left corner
poly lined die cut black inner sleeve with ' Made Great Britain' text and patent nos 1125555[?] with 1072844[?] beneath. inner sleeve in very good condition.
i am 100% certain that the 2 posters and 2 stickers are NOT original. they do not seem to conform exactly with the info i have researched. but on the plus side they are all in very good condition and do complete the package nicely.
black Harvest label with solid light blue triangle. at the bottom centre of the label it says 'Made in Great Britain'
text around top edge of the label starts at 10 o'clock and says 'The Gramophone Co Ltd. All rights of the manufacturer and of the owner of the recorded work reserved.'
text around bottom edge of the label starts at 8 o'clock and says 'Unauthorised public performance broadcasting and copying of this record prohibited'
i would grade the package as a whole as 'very good' in accordance with the guidance given in 'Record Collector Rare Record Price Guide'
absolutely any problems after purchase please simply contact me to resolve.
