The Dark Side of the Moon is the eighth studio album by the English rock band Pink Floyd, released on 1 March 1973. A concept album, The Dark Side of the Moon explores themes such as conflict, greed, time, death and mental illness. Snippets from interviews with the band's road crew are featured alongside philosophical quotations.

Grading (Record Collector Magazine's Grading System) :

       Cover  :   Very Good +  (scuffings on borders, wear on lower right side)

                            the black innersleeve is a later issue

        Record :   Side 1 - Very Good  (25 sec. light click on "Breathe", mild clicks on "On The Run" and in the quiet parts) 

                           Side 2 - Very Good +  (mild isolated clicks on "Us And Them", click on the final heartbeats)  

                          (fully play-tested on a Lynn Sondek LP12 turntable with a Denon DL103 cartridge)

           Labels :    Side 1 - Excellent

                           Side 2 - Very Good  (light stains)

         Posters and postcards  :   Excellent 

These gradings are conservative. 

Some would probably rate Side 1 as VG+ and Side 2 as Excellent. 

Being the lucky owner of a Lynn Sondek turntable (see picture), what I heard was a gorgeous sound throughout (especially the depth of the bass frequencies), completely worthy of a very first pressing.

This record will be carefully packaged and quickly dispatched.
