*Pink Floyd - WISH YOU WERE HERE

*1975 UK 1st PRESS

*SUPERB!!

*Postcard

*A1 / B3 FIRST matrix numbers.

*1st press label text.

*ORIGINAL SHRINK WRAP

1st Press Matrix numbers...

Side 1 = SHVL 814 A-1

Side 2 = SHVL 814 B-3

Early Mother stampers...

Side 1 = 2 GTT

Side 2 = 2 GPT

The outer sleeve is the first variant, which is noted by the pinched spine and amazingly still has the original black shrink wrap on with the 'Wish You Were Here' sticker. Has discolouration to the exposed corners.

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 great spindle holes - FAB!!

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 - EXCELLENT condition bar some discolouration to some of the crinkle cut edging.

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 has still retained its colour. Has some age related dirt marks.

All are in SUPERB condition for age... the vinyl has a lovely glossy sheen in appearance, and sits completely flat with no warping. It is in excellent condition with only a couple of superficial surface marks that are hardly even worth noting on side one, and a couple of light hairlines to side two, but not feelable at all.

OVERALL, A STUNNING PIECE OF MUSICAL HISTORY TO ADD TO YOUR COLLECTION!!!
