Description

The  1st UK pressing of Pink Floyd  The Dark Side if the Moon Vinyl  LP released  in March, 1973.


Solid blue 1st press labels with a 'Midnight Blue' tint sleeve. Matrix Numbers  A2,B2.


The vinyl is glossy and bright  with a deep-sheen throughout. It has some light marks,small surface scratches, wispy hairlines and sleeve removal marks and is a really nice example of this highly sought after LP celebrating the 50th Anniversary  this year.

The Labels look great with just a couple of spider trails. 


Visually Graded as Very Good+.


There is some light background noise and static during  the quieter moments of the Album which is very common with this record.


Mainly at the start and end of both sides but also through 'Breathe' and during the intro to 'Us and Them', but this does not overpower the overall sound quality of the Album which  still sounds  great.


The record  is rated Very Good on playback.


There is no factory skip at the start of 'Money'



Both Posters are included.  There is a black  black poly-lined inner sleeve, but this is not the original.



The  'midnight blue' tinted sleeve  grades as  Very Good with wear to the corners and some  ring wear as seen in the photos provided.



Both posters have no tears, folds, or pin holes and are  rated Excellent.




The black poly-lined inner has some minor creasing the lining is fully intact and in Excellent Condition overall.


Please take time to look at the pictures  provided to confirm the condition of  everything described. 



A great opportunity to own the iconic 'Solid Blue' album celebrating  its 50th anniversary this March.


Auction starts at 99p with free postage to the winning bidder. (within the UK)
