 STAMPERS 1 G , 1 G

~

EX+ VINYL / EX SLEEVE

~

This a superb EX+ example of this extremely rare original 1st  U.K. pressing on the solid blue triangle Harvest label. This just never comes up for sale in this wonderful condition but for it to have 1G 1G mothers / stampers is simply incredible.

Copies of this album with the 1G 1G stampers were given to the press at the it's launch and with only the first 300 or so being pressed with these stampers not many, if any would have actually ever been on sale to the public.

'On February 27, 1973, the Dark Side of the Moon album was presented to the public for the first time at a press presentation that took place at The London Planetarium. Members of the press who attended this presentation were given a copy of the LP (matrix: SHVL 804 A-2 G 1 / SHVL 804 B-2 G 1) with a 12-page promotional booklet. This booklet contained a picture of the album, song listing and credits, pictures of pyramids, a brief history of the band, a discography, and a picture of the band performing live'

 The vinyl is wonderful with only extremely light signs of previous play, The labels are Near Mint.

To add to this lovely vinyl is an incredible early EX  sleeve with only one side opening and the two posters are still present and are in great condition. There are three original stickers for some reason all with the crack backs.

Overall this is a splendid investment grade record of superb quality.
