First pressing with the original Garrod & Lofthouse cover with the fold-over flaps on the reverse and the couple facing west, printed in green ink. Original EMI inner sleeve, as well. Very difficult to find.

Cover in good, very collectible condition with a handful of minor creases, and two snubbed corners which only show on the reverse side (see photos). In general, the cover is extremely well preserved. (Most sellers would probably grade it as 'excellent'.) Vinyl plays quite satisfactorily, with occasional static-ey bits here and there; nothing truly bothersome, even in the quiet sections. This record will definitely please a true-blue Floyd fan.

A postscript about my music auctions. I am not a dealer. The records I'm now offering on eBay are from my personal collection which I acquired in the 1970s and early 1980s, and most have remained unplayed in the 30+ years since.

My records have never been in storage, have always been kept inside my (non-smoking) house under climate-controlled conditions, and have never been exposed to direct sunlight. The covers themselves have been conserved in archival plastic sleeves, and the vinyl has only ever been played on my own audiophile turntable.

I consistently under-grade my records. 'EX' to me means it's essentially perfect; like new, the creme de la creme. 'VG' means a super-nice specimen with minimal flaws; very desirable and collectible. 'G' means quite acceptable; it may have some noticeable cover wear and/or marks on the vinyl, but is still worth collecting. Something I'd grade as 'F' (Fair) is your typical 30-year-old used record, and I don't sell albums in this condition unless the title is very rare.

I am very conscientious when I pack these LPs for shipment. I only use cardboard shipping boxes that are custom made for record albums. Additionally, I use cardboard inserts as stiffeners and bubble wrap inside the box for maximum protection. Rest assured: I will make certain that you receive your record in exactly the same condition as it is shown/described here.

I am quite confident that no one will be disappointed with a record they buy from me. I only sell the best possible, because that's all I ever collected in the first place.
