"Pink Floyd" 

"dark side of the moon"

On sale here is UK 1st press? from 1973 stamper SHVC 804 A2, B2. It has a slight skip in the cash register intro of Money as with most first pressings. Please read description carefully as this item is in nice condition but not a minty.

DISC   side A  VG++ no visible marks unless held under bright light which shows some light wispy scuffs. 
side B VG multiple light hairline scuffs and a couple of slightly more noticeable ones but they are not deep or feelable. Maybe light spindle scrape line judging by it's directly in-line with spindle and are not audible on playback when tested via headphones. There are no obvious clicks. See picture with view under bright light. 
Record plays great both sides, no stylus wear or damage, just the usual very minimal vinyl noise as heard on all EX condition vinyl from the 70s. A Keeper?
LABEL:   EX
GATEFOLD COVER: VG shelf wear and ink wear to spine and top/bottom seam and corners. Picture 9 shows that sleeve is not deep black and I have tried to make black colour comparison with other issues.
Both posters EX- no creases, tears, pinholes etc   Both postcards EX-   Inner sleeve VG++ no tears splits, etc
Because of the high value of this item, post will be via EMS service. This is the most secure postal system expedited from Australia.

M- Archive copy. Gleaming Superb!
EX very clean and in beautiful carefully used condition. Hard to better and a keeper..., no need to upgrade!
VG obvious signs of moderate use. Will have scuffs/hairlines but nothing ugly. Possible audible background noise inc some pops etc. 
G heavy use, audible background noise for sure. Won't be pretty but still worthwhile due to rarity etc.
