Below is a little info regarding the insert


The title of the suite was originally 'Dark Side of The Moon - A Piece for Assorted Lunatics'

The name under which it made its press debut in February 1972. The title was changed to 'Eclipse' after it was discovered that 'Medicine head' had released an album with the same name. The title changed for the first part of the US tour to 'Eclipse' (A Piece for Assorted Lunatics) during April and May before reverting to 'Dark Side of the Moon - A Piece for Assorted Lunatics' at the end of September for the second part of the US tour, and finally released in 1973 as 'The Dark Side of the Moon'

 So the insert was obtained from a pre-album release concert in 1972

And then this copy of the LP was the earliest version available to the original owner as soon as they could get to the record shop in 1973!
