*Early matrix numbers.
*1st press label text.
1st Press Matrix numbers...
Side 1 = SHVL 814 A-1
Side 2 = SHVL 814 B-3
Early Mother stampers...
Side 1 = 2 HT
Side 2 = 2 HH
The outer sleeve is the first variant, which is noted by the pinched spine and is in excellent/ nr mint condition.
The labels are the first variant which shows "Waters-Gilmour-Wright" song-writers credit for 'Shine on You Crazy Diamond' (Side 1 Part 5). Which was subsequently changed on later pressings for just "Waters". They are absolutely stunningly clean and have amazing spindle holes - MINT.
The matrix numbers on the vinyl show that this is a UK first pressing. The mother stamper codes also suggest that the record was produced very early in the manufacturing line.
Included is the often missing post card with crinkle cut edges - Again pretty much mint.
The original card inner sleeve, with a notch to the top edge and which is die-cut on three of the four corners. It is in lovely condition, its bright and clean but dies have a small split to the bottom edge.
All are in SUPERB condition... the vinyl has a lovely glossy sheen in appearance, and sits completely flat with no warping. It is in pretty much MINT condition with only a couple of superficial surface marks that are hardly even worth noting!!
OVERALL, A STUNNING PIECE OF MUSICAL HISTORY TO ADD TO YOUR COLLECTION!!!
