Here we have a SCARCE FIRST PRESSING LP by early era PINK FLOYD . Titled ; "OBSCURED BY CLOUDS" (1972). This is Music from/for the Film "LA VALLÉE".
This is a COLLECTOR'S ITEM, it being quite difficult to find, especially in as good condition as this copy (vinyl); I believe this to be a FIRST PRESSING on the original, highly collectable, lime-green, HARVEST label. There was (I think) an A-1/B-1 pressing before this, but all copies were withdrawn due to poor sound quality (find one if you can !).
As well as being fairly SCARCE, this is a good album with several great songs including "Childhood's End" , "Free Four" , "Burning Bridges" & "Mudmen".
Features the (almost) Original (post Syd Barrett) Line-Up of Roger Waters, Nick Mason, Rick Wright & Dave Gilmour.
"OBSCURED BY CLOUDS" . Matrix:- 4020 A-2 / 4020 B-2 FISRT PRESSING. UK HARVEST SHSP 4020, Lime Green, 1 "EMI" Box logo, label.
Vinyl is:- Side 1 ; visually EXC.- (one mild surface mark) ; plays really well, better than it looks; EXCELLENT . Side 2 ; visual EXC.- (one notable mark which makes no unwanted sound) plays really well, great, dynamic sound; EXCELLENT. Single, Rounded Corners, SLEEVE :- Not nearly as good as the Vinyl; creases, corner & edge rub. Poor, rubbed Spine, which, however has no splits/holes. VERY GOOD- (minus) overall. Overall package Graded at VERY GOOD++ (great vinyl, poor sleeve).
See photos for more details.
**Test Played (& Graded) on my LINN SONDEK LP12 / GOLDRING 1022GX set-up**. **Thoroughly Cleaned before Test Play. Packed carefully with stiffeners & with record out of sleeve**.
