I am a private collector, I am not a dealer. The record is sold as visually inspected so please base your bidding solely on this not what it might sound/play like. Even the most visually stunning record can have background noise, if you want perfect audio then please find another copy with audio gradings.
Pink Floyd - The Dark Side Of The Moon - Solid Blue Prism Labels - 1st UK Pressing - Very Rare LP
SHVL 804 A-2
SHVL 804 B-2
Side 1 has a few faint hairlines and some very very faint sleeve removal marks, there is a scuff at about 10 o'clock, nothing that looks or feels deep, it has remarkable shine and luster.
Side 2 has a few faint hairline/scratches and some very very faint sleeve removal marks, no scuffs, nothing that looks or feels deep and again has a great shine
on the outer edge, there are four marks where it seems as though something clamped down and pinched the record. These marks do not look like they go into the grooves, so they may not have any impact on playback, but once again, I cannot verify this. See last picture for reference.
Labels are both Excellent, free from damage and wear. There are hardly any signs of spider legs. Both labels have the solid blue prism/triangle and THE GRAMOPHONE CO. LTD text.
Original 1st press Gatefold Sleeve with Blue Tint has some wear to top and bottom edges, wear to spine, wear to opening edge. But is overall solid, Front and back have ringwear/rubbing. Not perfect but it is the correct, earliest 1st issue sleeve.
Black Poly Lined Original Inner Sleeve is in Excellent condition.
Overall Grading - Record VG (only due to the four marks on the edge, which likely will not impact the sound quality. Otherwise VG+ Once again, see the picture) Labels are EX - Cover - VG has obvious wear, but no seam/spine splits. - Inner sleeve - EX
