Description
I have been a collector of vinyl now for over 20 years and have put together an extensive collection spanning the decades. During this time I have acquired several duplicates, but have as yet not attempted to sell too many of them.
In describing this album, I will give detailed information and an honest, in depth evaluation of the condition and quality throughout, so forgive me if my summation appears particularly meticulous! I will gladly answer any questions or queries should there be any.
Album Particulars
Year of print - 1992
468761 0 (stereo)
Red Columbia label
Recorded in 'QSound' direct from analogue tapes
Lyric booklet included
R.H. side opening sleeve still in solophane wrap with label
The Sleeve
Front surface - Selophane intact barring small section to the top left hand corner. The sleeve itself is only bared at the opening where there is some slight wear / feathering mostly at the top and bottom corners. Not too bad, really. There is some very minor wear to the top and bottom edges caused naturally by the shrunk wrapped selophane, again nothing serious.
Rear Surface - This mirrors the front cover in terms of general condition, only two smallish tears to the selophane surface. The original Album label is totally intact and shows only minimal wear. Opening edge again shows some slight wear / feathering.
The Vinyl
Side 1 - The label is absolutely perfect in every detail - no markings, no spindle wear, tears or scuffs. The vinyl is only very lightly marked when viewed in strong lighting but plays very well. There is the occasional light click only noticeable on the quieter parts of the tracks during loud play. QSound quality is absolutely superb!
Side 2 - The label is equally as good as that of side 1, the vinyl again only shows very light marking when viewed in good light. On play the side is great. Again there is only some light clicks on the quiet bits but thats all.
Side 3 - The label is once again perfect, the vinyl again only shows very light marking when viewed in good light. On play the side is great. Again there is only some light clicks on the quiet bits, nothing else to comment on.
Side 4 - Another perfect label, the vinyl once again only shows very light marking when viewed in good light. On play the side is great. Again there is only the some very light clicks on the quiet bits.
In general, the audible and visual qualities of all sides are superb and the recording is breath taking to say the least and really have to be seen and heard to be truly appreciated.
The Inners
Both black inners are in decent shape showing minor creasing the openings only. No tears, splits, markings or nasty folds / creases.
The Booklet
Includes all lyrics and credits for the album - nice condition!
Summary
Impossibly hard to find limited edition vinyl from Mr. Floyd himself that sounds fantastic. In my opinion, one of the best pieces of conceptual rock music made in decades.
This summation is as genuine and as detailed as I could possibly have made it. I know if I was buying that this is the kind of information that I would like to see. I have played this album only once, LOUDLY, on good quality audio equipment since acquiring it recently after which it has been sealed up.
Bid with confidence, check my feed back.
Serious bidders only please, GOOD LUCK!!
