Description
Selected titles from the private collection of a music business veteran are now being made available for the first time. Titles offered by this Seller are one-owner and came directly from the pressing plant, record company warehouse, other label reps or record store unless otherwise noted.
Grading is based on visual inspection.
Album ships in a 2 MIL poly cover sleeve and a poly-lined rice paper inner sleeve.
I package records outside the cover to avoid seam splits.
New and vintage vinyl is hard to grade strictly using eBay’s system because the record and the cover are two different components. Therefore, I call a record new and mint if it is opened but has never been played. I use the grading category to describe the cover condition.
- This is a US first pressing of the stereo version of Floyd's debut album.
- It is on thick vinyl.
- See 'Notes' below for pressing and matrix info.
- It is a First Pressing of the stereo version on the Tower Records label (not affiliated with Tower Records stores) distributed by Capitol Records in the US.
- This is the version with typos which validates it as a First Pressing (see 'Notes' below)
- The record has a couple spindle marks but the playing surfaces are clean.
- The paper on board cover has tight seams. There is corner wear lower right. For a 51 year-old album It shows relatively little cover wear.
- The original die-cut inner sleeve is included. I have added a poly-lined rice paper inner sleeve.
- This is a one-owner that the Seller got new in his record store in 1967. It has been in storage for 52 years!
