THIS IS A REALLY NICE COMPLETE COPY WITH 2 STICKERS and 2 POSTERS!The cover, gatefold & LP are in Very Good shape, Stickers & Posters are in Very Good shape! The whole package is in great shape!
I RECENTLY PLAYED THIS LP AND IT SOUNDS AWESOME, but you will hear surface noise typical with a Very Good grading (and typical with a Pink Floyd LP).
Up for sale is one (1) Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon, THIS IS A TRUE FIRST PRESSING WITH INTERPAK PATS. PENDING in the lower right corner of the gatefold. First pressing from 1973 on Harvet Records (#SMAS-11163). NO BARCODE.
Has WLY etched in the deadwax signaling a high quality mastering by Wally Traugott.
Only REAL first pressings have INTERPAK Pats. PENDING inside the gatefold. This text was removed in later pressings.
MUST ALSO HAVE: Text around bottom edge of label starts at 8 o'clock and says: Mfd. by Capitol Records, Inc., a subsidiary of Capitol Industries, Inc., U.S.A. - ® Capitol Marca Reg - U.S. Pat. No. 2,631,859
You must have both of these attributes to have a true first pressing.
The Vinyl is in Very Good condition with some light visual surface marks that may cause surface noise typical with a Very Good grading. Even with a Very Good grading there is going to be a certain amount of surface noise. More noticible during the quiet parts.Nice clean labels with minor spindle marks.
The gatefold cover is in Very Good condition with typical wear from age, including, but not limited to minor corner dings, minor scrapes, minor ring wear and minor fading. NO SPLIT SEAMS. There are 2 dents / peeling spots on the rear top seam. (see photos)
This cover typically does not age well, but this one is in Very Good shape.
