PINK FLOYD 

~ THE WALL ~

(1979 HARVEST RECORDS 2-LP – RARE UK FIRST PRESSING)

ON OFFER HERE IS THIS VERY NICE ORIGINAL UK FIRST PRESSING OF THE FANTASTIC CONCEPT DOUBLE ALBUM THE WALL BY PINK FLOYD ON THE HARVEST LABEL. 

THIS IS A VERY EARLY FIRST PRESSING WITH VERY EARLY MATRIX NUMBERS!!

THIS CLASSIC ALBUM IS IN GREAT CONDITION WITH IT’S STUNNING GATEFOLD PICTURE SLEEVE AND TWO PRINTED CARD LYRIC INNER SLEEVES. THE SLEEVE HAS RETAINED IT’S FRONT COVER STICKER!! 

THIS IS A TRUE FIRST PRESSING WITH ILLUSTRATED LABELS IN A GATEFOLD SLEEVE MADE FROM JUST ONE PIECE OF CARD. THERE IS A PLASTIC STICKER THAT ADHERES TO THE FRONT OF THE PICTURE SLEEVE BUT IS NOT PERMANENTLY AFFIXED. AS WITH GENUINE FIRST PRESSING SLEEVES THE BAND MEMBERS ARE NOT LISTED ON THE INSIDE OF THE GATEFOLD. IT ONLY SAYS ’WORDS AND MUSIC- ROGER WATERS. EXCEPT…’ AND ’PRODUCED BY DAVID GILMOUR, BOB EZRIN, ROGER WATERS’. THE BRICKS DO NOT ALIGN WITH THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGE OF THE GATEFOLD SLEEVE.

THE LYRIC INNER SLEEVES HAVE CURVED CORNERS.

THE CATALOGUE NUMBER IS 1979 HARVEST SHDW 411

THE MATRIX NUMBERS ARE SHSP 4111 A-2U / SHSP 4111 B-3U / SHSP 4112 A-1U / SHSP 4112 B-2U

THE SLEEVE

THE HEAVY, SLIGHTLY OFF-WHITE GATEFOLD PICTURE SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE TRANSPARENT STICKER THAT SAYS, IN BLACK ‘GERALD SCARFE’ WRITING, “PINK FLOYD THE WALL”, IS NO LONGER ATTACHED TO THE FRONT OF THE SLEEVE. THERE IS SOME LIGHT WEAR, SOME SMALL MARKS AND SOME MINOR TANNING. ALL OF THE EDGES AND CORNERS ARE NICE AND STRAIGHT AND SHARP. 

THE INNER SLEEVES

THE TWO HEACY CARD INNER SLEEVES WITH ROUNDED CORNERS AND NINE-INCH THUMB NOTHES AT THEIR OPENINGS ARE IN VERY GOOD/EXCELLENT CONDITION. BOTH HAVE SOME LIGHT WEAR. THERE IS A 3" SPLIT TO THE EDGE OPPOSITE THE OPENING ON THE RECORD ONE INNER.

THE VINYL

VISUALLY THE FOUR SIDES OF GLOSSY VINYL ALL APPEAR TO BE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH SOME LIGHT MARKS. I HAVE CAREFULLY LISTENED TO ALL FOUR SIDES OF THIS CLASSIC DOUBLE ALBUM AND CAN REPORT THAT THE SOUND QUALITY IS GENERALLY EXCELLENT THROUGHOUT. THIS ALBUM IS NOTORIOUSLY HARD TO FIND WITH PERFECT SOUND QUALITY. I NOTED SOME LIGHT & OCCASIONAL SURFACE NOISES.
