VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND A COPY WITH THE ORIGINAL HYPE STICKER and THE ORIGINAL POSTCARD!
INCLUDES THE CRAZY RARE ORIGINAL 3" x 5" POSTCARD! The postcard is almost always missing from this set. Also includes the original Hype Sticker that is affixed directly to the cover.
IF YOU ARE A STICKLER, THIS COPY IS NOT FOR YOU! IT IS STILL A DECENT COPY, BUT IT IS NOT FOR A STICKLER!
The vinyl is in Very Good condition, but has light visual surface marks that are unfeelable. The surface marks may cause surface noise typical with a Very Good grading.PLAY TESTED! I recently played this LP and it SOUNDS AWESOME! But you will hear surface noise typical with a Very Good grading.
Up for sale is one (1) Up for sale is one (1) Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here Original Pressing LP from 1975 on Columbia Records (#PC-33453). NO BARCODE. This is a FIRST PRESSING without the Barcaode.
The Original Postcard Insert is in Very Good condition with typical wear from age, including, but not limited to corner dings and crumples / creases. Most notably the upper left and right corners have dog ear creases.

The Vinyl is in Very Good condition, but has some surface marks that may cause surface noise typical with a Very Good grading. Even with a Very Good grading there is going to be a certain amount of surface noise. Certainly more noticible during the quiet parts.
As is typical with Pink Floyd LP's there is going to be some surface noise along the way, especially during the quiet parts.
Nice, fairly clean labels with some spindle marks.
The cover is in Good+ condition with typical wear from age, including, but not limited to corner dings, dings, and ring wear. There are NO split seams. There is some staining of an unknown origin(which is typical for this cover). And there is a very small piece missing at the bottom seam of the front cover and a small piece missing from the rear cover at the side opening(see photos).
This cover typically doesn't age well, but this one is in Good+ shape. I'm still grading the cover as Good+ as it is structurally sound without split seams.
The Hype Sticker is in Very Good condition typical wear from age.
The custom inner lyric sleeve is in Good+ condition with typical wear from age, including, but not limited to corner dings, dings, and ring wear. There are NO split seams. There is staining of an unknown origin throughout.
The LP is now in a plain inner sleeve.
I obtained this LP in the 1970s. It was gently played back in the day. It has not been played in many years.
I am thinning out my vinyl collection. This is the actual item you will receive. See the photos and judge for yourself.
