Pink Floyd - THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON
Label: Harvest – SMAS-11163
Format: Vinyl, LP, Album, Winchester Pressing, Gatefold
Country: US
Released: 1973
Genre: Rock
Style: Prog Rock
Vinyl: Side one has a light but sharp scratch across tracks #1,2,3. There is a shallower scuff type scratch that spans all tracks and into the runout. Otherwise side one has just some light paper scuffs and fingerprints. Side two has two small light scratches and a couple of finger prints. The vinyl on both sides is shinny, not dull. Sleeve: See photos for condition. Most wear is to the spine, top and bottom edges. Light ring wear. No posters or stickers and the inner liner may not be original and has writing on it.
Listening Notes:
Side One: There is static / tics on the initial cueing that subsides somewhat after but there are random and some repeating tics throughout which are mostly noticeable in low volume passages. By the time the stylus reached track 5 the play was much cleaner. Side Two: Same static / tics on initial cueing but subsides quickly on this side (about 30 sec.). There are some repeating light tics at the beginning of track 2. The closer the stylus got to the runnout, the better the listening experience. Overall: Not a pristine copy of this title, but definitely acceptable.
Shipped via USPS Media Mail in a new media mailer, a new poly lined paper inner sleeve and new vinyl outer sleeve.
