PINK FLOYD - THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON (AUTHENTIC 1973 HARVEST RECORDS EARLY PRESSING - MASTERED BY CAPITOL - EARLY F31 MATRIX RUN - PLAY GRADED VG+)

Up for sale is a spectacular, collector-grade player copy of what is widely celebrated as one of the single greatest albums ever recorded: Pink Floyd's progressive rock masterpiece, "The Dark Side of the Moon." This copy is an authentic 1973 United States early-market production run released via Harvest Records (Catalog #SMAS-11163), featuring the iconic light blue perimeter triangle center labels and the hand-etched "F31" dead wax matrices indicating an early 1973 cutting lathe production line. It has been thoroughly cleaned, strictly play-graded, and is fully preserved inside a premium anti-static Mobile Fidelity (MoFi) Master Sleeve.

ALBUM SPECIFICATIONS:

* Label: Harvest Records / Capitol Industries (Catalog #SMAS-11163)

* Mastering Line: Authentic "MASTERED BY CAPITOL" Machine-Stamped Matrix Signal

* Matrix Suffix Inscription: Hand-etched SMAS-1-11163-F31 #3 (Early 1973 Production Line)

* Audio Format: Stereo / 33⅓ RPM / Single LP All-Analog Cut

CONDITION DETAILS (STRICT SEPARATE SELLER GRADING):

* Vinyl Condition: Very Good Plus (VG+). Retains a gorgeous, deep factory mirror gloss across both sides. The wax displays only a few minor, superficial cosmetic paper scuffs from vintage sleeve removal that do not affect playback. Fully play-graded from start to finish—tracks beautifully with a massive, heavy, dynamic 1970s analog soundstage. Heartbeats, synthesizers, soaring vocals, and iconic saxophone lines run completely clear across masterpieces like "Time," "Money," and "Us and Them" with zero loops, skips, or loud distracting clicks. A beautiful player disc.

* Sleeve Condition: Very Good Plus (VG+). The original 1973 gatefold jacket remains structurally solid with completely intact, un-split seams. Displays standard, honest vintage shelf aging including mild ring wear, light corner rubbing, and expected edge shelf friction scuffs consistent with its 50+ year age. Fully documented in the close-up listing gallery.

* Archival Care: Carefully cleaned and upgraded into a premium anti-static Mobile Fidelity (MoFi) Master Sleeve to safeguard the vintage analog grooves from future paper hairlines and static dust collection.
