Text around the top edge of the label starts at 7 o'clock and says: '' All rights of the manufacturer and of the owner of the recorded work reserved. Unauthorised public performance, broadcasting and copying of this record prohibited. Made in Great Britain. EMI Records (U.K.) ''

SLEEVE    EX++ to MINT-       

A brick wall. The Wall is cream colored, not true white. The bricks on the front cover are not aligned right to the bottom of the cover. The credits on the inside cover do not list the members of Pink Floyd.

My records are described according to “The Record Collector’s” grading system.

This was originated by “The Record Collector” to assist people buying or selling records.

Their 4 standard condition categories and a description of what each one means are given below.

MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The

cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint. 

EXCELLENT: The records shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing. 

VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable. 

GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration etc.

IMPORTANT NOTE :  In the description of the Side 4 is missing the number ''1'' after the ''225'', so the correct Mother Stampers are :

                                                       TML- X     225     1      (M crossed out before the 'X')
