Pink Floyd - The Wall 

(Harvest SHDW 411 UK Double LP 1979)

 

This is an original 1979 UK Double LP pressing in great overall condition! It has a heavyweight matt gatefold sleeve. This is the earliest UK sleeve variation. It has only one glue card seam on the inside of the sleeve openings.  The "white" of the sleeve is more cream coloured. Also, the four band members are not individually listed on the inner gatefold. Only the very earliest UK pressings had these sleeve variations. It comes with original lyric inner sleeves. These are printed on thick card & have rounded corners.

The records are pressed on thick vinyl & have A-2U/ B-2U/ A-1U/ B-3U matrix stampers. "TML" is machine stamped in the dead wax on all 4 sides. It also comes complete with its original "Pink Floyd - The Wall" transparent sticker. A genuine UK 1979 pressing with the earliest sleeve variation and very early matrices. It also comes complete with original transparent sticker. This copy is in great overall condition too. These are getting rare nowadays.

Gatefold Sleeve: There is a very tiny 0.5 cm hairline stain near the centre of the spine. There is light or very minor rubbing wear to the corner tips. There is a minor finger tip sized area of light marks on the rear sleeve (see photo). These are at the bottom spine area of the rear sleeve. They don't notice that much. Very NEAR EXCELLENT condition.

Vinyl 1: There are a very few light or very minor sleeve rubs which can barely be seen under a strong light. The card inner sleeve, over time, has left some light, very mild or very minor dull surface marks on a very few areas. These, again, can hardly be seen under a strong light. A strong EXCELLENT+ condition. The labels are in Near Mint condition and show minimal spindle wear. The lyric inner sleeve is in Excellent condition. There is a very small 2 cm area of mild rubbing wear to the bottom edge. Otherwise, minimal ringwear. It has no seam splits.
I have play tested this LP in its entirety & it plays Near Excellent to Excellent overall, & Excellent|+ in some places. There is some light, very mild or very minor crackle in a few quieter places.

Vinyl 2: There are a few light, very mild or very minor sleeve rubs which can barely be seen under a strong light. The card inner sleeve, over time, has left some light, very mild or very minor dull surface marks on a very few areas. These, again, can hardly be seen under a strong light. EXCELLENT condition. The labels are in Near Mint condition and show minimal spindle wear. The lyric inner sleeve is in Excellent+ condition. There is minimal ringwear. It has no seam splits.
I have play tested this LP in its entirety & it plays Near Excellent to Excellent overall, & Excellent|+ in some places. There is some light, very mild or very minor crackle in a few quieter places. There is some intermittent clicks two-thirds of the way through Side 4. These are not that noticeable and do not last too long.

The "Pink Floyd" transparent sticker is in Excellent condition. It is unused but there is some minor or very mild rippling in some places.

I shall played the vinyl in a separate plain paper inner sleeve. This will protect the original inner sleeves from any damage during transit.

    >>  Grading Information All grading is very strict & adheres to 'Record Collector' specifications. However, I have fine tuned them & they are explained below. All vinyl is examined closely under a strong light & play tested on excellent quality audio equipment.

MINT Condition = This is as perfect a copy as you are likely to find. The cover will show no, or next to no, wear. The vinyl will be unplayed or very, very near unplayed.

NEAR MINT Condition = Nearly mint, just slightly under. There maybe some minor paper/ inner sleeve rubs that can only be seen under strong light. SOME WOULD CLASS THIS AS MINT. This disc has been played only a few times & has been extremely well  cared for. The cover is nearly perfect - Minimal wear only.

EX Condition = An excellent copy will show only mild, or minor, signs of use. There will be light, or very mild, sleeve rubs that can only be seen under strong light. There may be a very small & minor hairline mark in some instances. Play will be excellent or better. There may be some light, or very light, crackle in a few quieter places. There will be no clicks or pops. The sleeve will show mild, or minor, rubbing wear & ringwear only.

NEAR EX Condition = This has been played a few more times but it has been well cared for. There will be mild sleeve rubs which can be seen under a strong light. There may be a couple of minor, or light, hairline marks. Playback will be generally excellent. There may be some light or mild crackle in some quieter places. The cover will show mild rubbing wear, ringwear or creasing

VG Condition = Most records that have been quite well played, but reasonably well cared for, tend to fit into this category. This is probably the most varied of the gradings so I have eloborated below.

There may be mild to more moderate sleeve rubs which can only be seen under a strong light. There may be a few light hairline marks but nothing too bad. A quite well played but serviceable copy. Playback will be very agreeable overall. There will be light or mild crackle in some places. There may also be a few light clicks. A more thorough description will always be on the listing. The record will certainly not be trashed!

The cover will show more noticeable signs of storage or use. There will be mild to more moderate rubbing wear on some edges There could be fading, ringwear or a minor seam split. There could be some mild creasing or mild sticker tears.

Please note that I also use "+" or "-" symbols for this grading. A plus symbol is obviously at the top end of "Very Good" & is really not far from being in "near excellent" condition. The minus symbol obviously means it is at the lower end. This will mean that it is near to being in "Good+" condition. 
>>  Postage Rates

AN INVOICE WILL BE SENT TO YOU VERY SOON AFTER THE AUCTION ENDS. PLEASE WAIT FOR THIS BEFORE PAYING.

Royal Mail have very recently increased their postage rates. So I have revised my postage costs to reflect their increases. (Please note that these prices include packaging costs too) 
Double LPs are classed as two LPs. Also posters, inserts, etc.. can increase postage costs. One parcel must not exceed 2kg (approximately 4-6 LPS).

All records will be sent in high quality vinyl mailers with at least two card stiffeners either side of the LP or 7" Single. I use a cruciform box for larger orders (3-6 LPs). All parcels will be marked "Fragile" and dispatch time will generally be between 1-3 days after payment.

I will also remove the vinyl from the sleeve & place them in a re-sealable polythene sleeve. In order to prevent seam splits. Depending on the inner sleeve; I often remove the vinyl from the inner sleeve & place it in a separate plain paper, or polythene-lined, plain inner sleeve. I am very conscientious and careful when packaging your LP(s).

I consider my postage & packaging costs to be very transparent & very fair. Packaging costs will generally be between £0.80 to £1.50. I am not adding any further costs for handling, etc...

If you are uncertain about any of the above, or just simply want some information regarding any item, please do not hesitate to contact me. I welcome any questions.

Remember to check out My Other Items Lots of rare & quality vinyl! Most are UK 1st Pressings. It is quite likely that there will be more records by this artist, or records in a similar vein.
