Description

Pink Floyd: Dark Side Of The Moon (Harvest LP)
A classic album from my record collection, purchased from new in the early 1970's. Not a first press, but the matrix data in the deadwax SHVL A7/B6 denotes an original early UK pressing. These vintage all analogue UK pressings sound by far the best... Much better than the 1980's reissues on poor quality, flimsy vinyl and they certainly blow away the modern reissue vinyl cut directly from digital files. 
The outer sleeve has a fair bit of storage wear (See images), although the centre spread of the gatefold is still nice. The important thing here is the sound if that's your thing. I have cleaned the record with my professional cleaning machine with award winning L'Art Du Son cleaning fluid and now it is ready to be enjoyed by the next person. It has been test played all the way through on my Project Debut Carbon turntable with Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge stylus. The sleeve may be a bit tatty on the outside and edges, but the vinyl still plays through beautifully with no skips, sticking or jumping. Under very strong light a few marks and hairlines are visible, but nothing deep or nasty that will affect sound or playing through. There is nice warm vinyl crackle noticeable at some of the quiet parts and run ins, but that warm sound is why we love vinyl right? Its nearly 45 years old and sounds superb considering. It also sits flat on the turntable and has no warping like a lot of modern reissues that are shrink wrapped too tight.
I will send this item to the winning bidder in a proper record mailer so no harm will come to it in transit. Ask if you have any questions and happy bidding on a vintage UK pressing of a true classic! Starts at 99p !!!
