PINK FLOYD THE WALL 1979 1st UK press 2U 2U 3U 2U Matrix NO STICKER EX SHDW 411
Really good 1st press example of this must have album. It appears there's an earlier one with a A - 2U, B -2U, A - 1U, B - 2U matrix rather than this early 1st pressing which is A - 2U, B -2U, A - 3U, B - 2U (See Pink Floyd Archives)
Matrix / Runout (Side A runout, variant 1): SHSP 4111 A-2U TML-X Matrix / Runout (Side B runout, variant 1): SHSP 4111 B-2U TML-M Matrix / Runout (Side C runout, variant 1): SHSP 4112 A-3U TML-X Matrix / Runout (Side D runout, variant 1): SHSP 4112 B-2U TML-M
Album Sleeve is: 1. A single sheet of wrap-around cardboard with the seam across the inner top edge of the cover.
The inner sleeves have the cat numbers on triple line rather than single. Both inners have seem splits.
The sleeve is in excellent condition but the sticker has done one i'm afraid, unless i find it hiding somewhere in the house, they have a habit of hiding within other records.
Both vinyls are in excellent condition. Both are shiny and glossy with only very slight sleeve scuffs and hairlines.
Please study all the images carefully as they form an important part of the description.
Overall a very presentable and affordable 1st pressing copy of this must have essential piece of vinyl.
Vinyl - All 4 are Excellent Sleeve - VG+ (It has been used to write on and you can see the imprint on the sleeve both sides, you have to angle it to see it though) Inners - VG (They would be excellent but for the seam splits)

Inner sleeves also feature the "Wall" design with lyrics (graphics by Gerald Scarfe).
The track order on the inners is not the same as featured on the album.
Specific to the first issue sleeve:
Band members are not listed on the inside cover. It only says "Words and Music - Roger Waters. Except..." and "Produced By David Gilmour, Bob Ezrin, Roger Waters". Re-pressings added band member credits and had other minor alterations.
No bar code on the back cover.
The Wall is cream coloured, not true white. The bricks on the front cover are not aligned right to the bottom of the cover on the outside or inside.
There are two 1st pressing sleeve variants:
1. A single sheet of wrap-around cardboard with the seam across the inner top edge of the cover.
2. Two sheets of cardboard, with seams at the top and bottom of the cover. Cardboard is heavy thickness.
There are two 1st pressing lyric inner sleeve variants (Both are on thick card with rounded corners and a nine-inch thumb notch at the top):
1. Sides 2 and 4 have the catalog number of the specific record listed on a single line in the lower right corner.
2. Sides 2 and 4 have the catalog number (SHDW 411), international catalogue number (OC-158 63410), and the UK catalogue number (SHSP 4111) in the lower right corner.
