PINK FLOYD - THE FINAL CUT
Superb, truly near mint copy of this 1983 Floyd gem with flawless stereo sound quality throughout
Year/Label : 1983 UK HARVEST Label number : SHPF 1983 Matrix numbers : SHPF 1983 A-1U, SHPF 1983 B-2U (with "TML-S" and "TML-L" etched into side 1 & 2 run-off's)Stampers : 1-1-3 / 1-2-1
Near mint (NM) condition vinyl - completely flat and retaining it's original jet black lacquered sheen - a real gleamer! With very close scrutiny under bright light I can just about identify a couple of small and faintest of faint paper scuff lines caused by insertion and withdrawal of the record from it's paper sleeve but these are nothing really. Not a scuff mark or hairline in sight - amazing! The labels are in similarly near mint (NM) condition - pristine, with not even the hint of a single rogue spindle trail. To my knowlege this record has been played only once, and judging by the condition of the vinyl and similarly unmarked labels I think that's an accurate statement. Again, near mint (NM) condition gatefold outer sleeve - firm edges devoid of any scuffing, a rigid and unmarked spine with all spine text perfectly intact, no cardboard creasing, perfectly defined right angled corners with negligible rubbing, firm opening edges with no fraying, and all colours, art work and text remaining in wonderful "as new" condition with perfect definition still. There is a tiny scuff "nick" towards the bottom of the spine, two barely noticeable 1cm surface crinkles on the front side adjacent and perpendicular to the spine, and just a small area of very light fading towards the bottom left corner of the front side hype sticker. There is no barcode on the reverse side, another indicator of a UK 1st pressing. In summary, outstanding condition and hard to believe that this gatefold is now 43 years old! As you would expect, near mint (NM) stereo sound quality with no sticks, skips, repeats, distortion, rotational clicking or background crackle - just perfect stereo sound quality throughout. A brilliant listen with great tone and wonderful clarity. Comes with original poly-lined plain black inner sleeve, again in virtually "as new" condition with no side splits, tears, discolouration, untoward creasing, or unwanted writing. Note that I always ship the vinyl in a new plain white inner sleeve in order to protect the original. A truly near mint condition copy of this 1983 Floyd prog gem - probably as close to brand new as you can get without being a sealed copy.
POSTAGE COSTS : For the UK £3.38 using Royal Mail tracked 48 (ebay "Simple Delivery"); for continental Europe £11 using Royal Mail 1st class tracked and signed for, and for the rest of the world £17 using Royal Mail 1st class tracked and signed for.
I do provide posting and packaging discounts for multiple purchases. I make no profit from postage.Note that I always insert the vinyl into a new plain white poly-lined inner sleeve in order to protect the original during postage, and separate this from the outer sleeve to prevent seam splits. I use thick cardboard stiffeners and take great care in my packaging to ensure as far as possible that these precious records reach their destination in exactly the same condition as when they leave me. If you require any further information, including photos, then let me know and I'll do my best to oblige.

A bit about myself : I have been collecting UK vinyl for over 55 years from a variety of sources : my own collection, friends and family, car boot and garage sales, door-to-door leaflets, and even through placing an advert in my wife's shop window! My ebay feedback speaks for itself so rest assured that you are buying from a trusted seller and in the very unlikely event that you are unhappy with your purchase just e-mail me and I will sort out the problem. I offer a "no questions asked" refund policy. If you require any further information, including photos, then let me know and I'll do my best to oblige.
There is NO RESERVE on this item. Richard
