Here we offer a lovely, VERY gently used EX++ to NM/NM ORIGINAL First Pressing U.S. Columbia CBS Mastersound AUDIOPHILE Half-Speed Mastered H2C 46183 2-LP set , "The Wall", by Pink Floyd, issued in this AUDIOPHILE format in 1982.  The gatefold COVER is a crisp, clean and sharp EX++ to NM, with perhaps a VERY slight "bumped" corner tip at lower left. The ORIGINAL heavy plastic outersleeve is present, showing light storage wear, and it has the ORIGINAL TITLE STICKER (see PHOTOS). The VINYL is a beautiful, shiny NM...NO spindle marks on the labels, and really no evidence of play. The original innersleeves are present, as is the original lyric insert (SEE PHOTOS). This also happens to be a PROMOTION (PROMO) COPY, as indicated by the classic Columbia/CBS gold embossed numbered promo stamp in the upper right corner of back cover, so it should be a VERY early first pressing...SEE PHOTOS! Superb, archival grade ORIGINAL of a Pink Floyd classic which seldom surfaces in such beautiful condition AND complete! Offered with NO RESERVE! PLEASE NOTE: In the past 5 weeks, we have sold MANY FACTORY SEALED CBS Mastersound Audiophile LPs. The open copies we are now listing are from the same source, who noted that IF the open copy was played, it was usually a one time play, and that some of them, though opened, were unplayed. Also note that we are VERY stict graders, and NEAR MINT (NM) is the highest grade we ever use for an LP, as we feel that NO open LP can EVER be truly mint. But be assured that our NM grade is pristine! Any open Mastersound LP we list will have the original innersleeve(s).

IMPORTANT NOTE for NON-U.S. Bidders: PLEASE READ! Any LP selling for $24.99 or MORE MUST be shipped using REGISTERED FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIR (parcel is NUMBERED, MUST be signed for at delivery or pick-up, can be tracked, receives some special handling, and carries some insurance...SAFEST form of shipping) for YOUR protection AND OURS. We do NOT make ANY money from this service, which costs $32.95 U.S. (double LP) for Europe and Japan (CANADA will be a bit less, estimated at $26.50 REGISTERED). We also cannot mark "GIFT" on Custom Form, nor will we put "NO VALUE"! Please consider your bidding carefully bearing in mind shipping costs! And please, if you have ANY questions about this, please contact us through eBay before the auction closes. Kindly wait for OUR confirmation email AND invoice BEFORE paying. THANK YOU!

***PLEASE REMEMBER*** We do pack and ship very quickly BUT Media Mail is the USPS' slowest service for parcels in the USA, and that INTERNATIONAL parcel shipping time can vary greatly by country. If customs "holds" a parcel, delivery time is even slower, and that is NOT in our control! So please check the date of your payment & our shipping date for a more accurate account of shipping time! For EXPENSIVE LPs we recommend PRIORITY MAIL for safer handling within the USA.

For U.S. buyers, we CAN arrange payment by merchant Credit Card since we are a shop, but we prefer Paypal...please inquire before bidding!

Please NOTE that though the item specifics state this is single LP, it IS indeed a 2-LP (double album) as stated in our description. THANK YOU!
