1st Press Matrix numbers...
Side 1 = SHVL 814 A-1
Side 2 = SHVL 814 B-5
Early Mother stampers...
Side 1 = 1 AMT
Side 2 = 3 LT
The outer sleeve is the first variant, which is noted by the pinched spine and is in lovely condition, showing no splits or tears, only the expected age related discolouration/dirt/wear.
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 .
The matrix numbers on the vinyl show that this is a UK early pressing. The mother stamper codes also suggest that the record was produced very early in the manufacturing line.
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 nice condition, showing age related dirt and a very small split to the bottom.
The vinyl has a super glossy sheen in appearance, and sits completely flat with no warping. It is in absolutely stunning condition with only a couple of superficial surface marks that are hardly worth mentioning! Nr mint.
OVERALL, A STUNNING PIECE OF MUSICAL HISTORY TO ADD TO YOUR COLLECTION!!!
