RE-LISTED DUE TO (REPEATED) NON-PAYING WINNER OF PREVIOUS AUCTION. THIS "BUYER" HAS NOW BEEN BLOCKED FROM FUTURE BIDS AND REPORTED TO Ebay.
I am in the process of selling a large (130+) collection of Pink Floyd albums. Some brand new, some first or early UK pressings. Add me as a favourite seller to get new listing messages.
PLEASE READ THE FULL LISTING AS IT CONTAINS IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR BUYERS FROM OVERSEAS AMONGST OTHER THINGS.
This example comes with some rare extras and has been fully play-graded both sides .All of my gradings are strictly to record collector guidelines. However, if you do not agree with my gradings once receiving any albums, just contact me and I offer a free return and refund policy, I do not however deal with part refunds. I try to grade accurately and unfortunately some people try and squeeze a part refund without just cause. Please read my feedback carefully to understand the standards I always adhere to. Thankyou.
Cover is in great shape. Protected by the original manufacturers black shrink-wrap covering over 90% of its surfaces. Handshake sticker is complete and attached. Slight discolouration from exposed-to-air section. No damage worth mentioning apart from the shrink being slit to access the disc. The cover grades a solid excellent.
Inner sleeve is the original with three cropped corners. A lovely example with no damage to any of its edges. Inner sleeve grades an easy excellent.
Vinyl is unblemished. Retaining a deep black sheen. Labels show little, if any, signs of play. As a visual grading, this ranks as at least excellent.
The play-grading reveals this to be a top example. So prone to surface noise due to being rushed to market in massive numbers and quality took a hit for that. The mother/stamper combinations are nice and low. Matrices A1 / B5. Side one id's are 2 ADM and side two are 2 MR. Side one starts perfectly. There are 6 barely audible light ticks part way through the side, and that is my only notation. Side two has 3 or 4 seconds of light static right at the start. At the start of the title track there are a handful of super light ticks from the left channel only. That is everything worth noting. In my notebook I graded it a solid Ex+, so Ex at least. A wonderful album with astoundingly clear and detailed audio performance.
The original serrated edge postcard is present and in superb condition. No issues. I have added another postcard with the iconic handshake artwork, also superb condition.
The 1974/1975 tour programme is a rare piece in itself. This one is in really good condition, although slightly age discoloured. There is a small tear to the bottom front edge, otherwise a really nice example. Graded as VG+.
So, all in all, a lovely example of this classic album. Looking superb and sounding just as good.You will have to go a long way to find a better copy believe me.
My records are posted out very quickly and extremely well packaged. Vinyl travels outside of the sleeve, packed in a new anti-static inner and new polythene outer sleeve.
I post worldwide, (in Europe and beyond using UPS who are superb) but do not post to Russia, Belarus or Ukraine.My postage within Europe is around £16 for up to 4 albums (or 2 double albums). I can only insert the Euro postage costs on here, so for outside of the Euro-zone, please wait for my invoice before trying to pay. The rest of the world is around £26 for an album, rising only very slightly for more than 2 albums. All of my packages are sent tracked.
If you have any questions whatsoever, or would like additional photos, just let me know.
