PLEASE LOOK VERY CAREFULLY AT ALL THE PHOTOS AS THEY FORM A LARGE PART OF THE SALES DESCRIPTION. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU USE THE ZOOM FACILITY SUPPLIED.
THE RECORD HAS BEEN THROUGH A VERY EXPENSIVE AND TIME CONSUMING CLEANING PROCESS.
IT IS ONE OF DOZENS OF COPIES OF ALL THE PINK FLOYD ALBUMS FROM MY OWN VERY LARGE RECORD COLLECTION THAT NEED TO FIND A NEW HOME WITH A SERIOUS COLLECTOR WHO RECOGNISES THE HUGE DIFFERENCE IN SOUND REPRODUCTION BETWEEN AN AUSTRALIAN COPY VERSUS AN ORIGINAL 1ST ISSUE U.K PRESSING.
THE RECORD HAS BEEN PLAYED RIGHT THROUGH AND SOUNDS ABSOLUTELY SUPERB. IT HAS ONLY BEEN PLAYED A FEW TIMES AND ONLY ON MY REFERENCE WORLD CLASS LINN SONDEK TURN TABLE.
