PINK FLOYD - THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON
1973 UK 1ST PRESSING * SOLID BLUE PRISM * A-2 / B-2 MATRIX * 100% COMPLETE MUSEUM-GRADE ARCHIVE SET

Up for auction is a definitive investment-grade holy grail: a guaranteed authentic, 100% complete UK 1st pressing of Pink Floyd's masterpiece. This copy features the legendary A-2 / B-2 matrix suffixes and has been meticulously play-graded.

Crucially, THIS COPY DOES NOT SKIP ON 'MONEY'. It plays beautifully right through the notorious factory groove defect.

SLEEVE CONDITION: NEAR MINT TO MINT (NM/M)
An absolute miracle of 50+ year survival. The original unlaminated gatefold sleeve is incredibly crisp, perfectly square, and structurally pristine. Features the correct sealed left inner flap (record exits right side only) and the distinct 1973 soft greenish-tint background. Zero seam splits, a perfectly rigid spine, flawless corners, and virtually no ring wear. The rare original midnight-blue Hype Sticker is beautifully intact on the front cover.

VINYL CONDITION: EXCELLENT (EX)
The vinyl is visually spectacular, retaining its full, vibrant, near-mirror original factory gloss. Under intense direct light, it reveals no deep marks and only the absolute barest minimum of superficial surface hairlines. Audio performance is top-tier. It plays with immense power, warmth, and stunning clarity. The notoriously quiet intros and transitions are beautifully clean, offering a true reference-grade listening experience.

MATRIX & FACTORY STAMPER CODES:

Side 1: SHVL 804 A-2 / Mother: 7 / Stamper: GRO (Stamper #125)

Side 2: SHVL 804 B-2 / Mother: 4 / Stamper: GGL (Stamper #118)
(Decodes to an elite, authentic day-one production run at the EMI Hayes plant).

100% COMPLETE 1973 INSERTS INCLUDED:

2 Original Posters: Correct matte finish. "SHVL 804" printed on the group poster. Crisp folds, no pinholes, no tape.

2 Original Stickers: Diagonal stripes with original, unpeeled backings.

Original Inner Sleeve: The correct black poly-lined sleeve with silver-blue patent text and "Made in Great Britain".

An investment-grade archive package that has lived together since March 1973. Sent worldwide via tracked, fully insured courier in premium vinyl mailers.
