1st Press Matrix numbers...
Side 1 = SHVL 814 A-1
Side 2 = SHVL 814 B-3
Early Mother stampers...
Side 1 = 3 HM
Side 2 = 4 OA
The outer sleeve is the first variant, which is noted by the pinched spine and is in excellent/ nr mint condition with no splits or tears, only minor age discolouration
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.
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 / NR MINT, it has no splits or tears and is lovely and bright. Has tiny dirt marks to the back.
The vinyl has a lovely glossy sheen in appearance, sits completely flat with no warping and is excellent. Shows some light superficial surface marks and a couple of light wispy hairlines - FABULOUS.
Completing this set is the often missing post card with crinkle cut edges - EXCELLENT condition, no creases and very clean, only loss of colour to a couple of the crinkle cut edges!
OVERALL, A STUNNING PIECE OF MUSICAL HISTORY TO ADD TO YOUR COLLECTION!!!
