Thanks for looking at my VINYL RECORD listing! Before moving on to the description for this item please take a moment to read through the following:

PLAY-TESTED: I normally play-test each unsealed record I list and do my best to appraise it as accurately and conservatively as possible. If you purchase a record and believe the condition (audible or otherwise) to be substantially different than expected based on my description/notes, please message me so we can work it out.

DEAD WAX INFO: If you need stamper/matrix information, please message me and I will provide it ASAP.

CLEANING RECORDS: I no longer have my record cleaning machine, so a thorough cleaning is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED once you receive your LP. Doing so may reduce (no guarantees) some of the surface noise a record might have. AND there are very few records, if any, that have dead quiet grooves.

THE MORE YOU BUY, THE MORE YOU SAVE ON SHIPPING: Click to see my other listings and take advantage of combined shipping discounts. Check my feedback and bid with confidence.

PROTECTIVE PACKAGING: For 1-2 LP purchases, except box sets, I will use professional LP mailers with cardboard stiffeners and additional padding to ensure a safe arrival. And, the corners will be protected inside. For multiple purchases and box sets, a cardboard box with substantial packing material will be used.

ABOUT THIS ITEM

TITLE: THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON. 1997 "EMI 100" Centenary 170 Gram DMM Vinyl LP.

ARTIST(S): PINK FLOYD.

FORMAT: 33 1/3 RPM 12" Vinyl LP.

RECORD LABEL & CATALOG NUMBER: EMI, LPCENT11.

RECORDING/RELEASE YEAR: 1973/1997.

RECORDING TYPE: Analog, Stereo.

SPECIFIC NOTES: EMI 100 Centenary Edition. Direct Metal Mastered. Includes both posters and stickers. (Copy #1.)  This is supposed to be 180 gram vinyl, but it weighed in at 170g.  IF you are not familiar with this release, the mastering is somewhat hotter than the MFSL and probably most others, but very strong and dynamic.  I wouldn't call it bright but it is definitely rich and sweet, not dull or blunted sounding.

CONDITION (***Using the Goldmine Grading Standard***)

VINYL SOUND QUALITY: VG+: Light surface noise overall, with more noise and some dull repeating ticks at end of Side 2 (latter stages of Eclipse).
VINYL APPEARANCE: Near Mint Minus.
COVER:VG+. Top edge has some creasing and abrasions in spots.
Condition Notes: VINYL SOUND QUALITY: VG+. Light surface noise overall, with more noise and some dull repeating ticks at end of Side 2 (latter stages of Eclipse). VINYL APPEARANCE: Near Mint minus. GATEFOLD JACKET: VG+. Top edge has some creasing and abrasions in spots.

For further details, please see the above photos of the actual item you will receive.

Near Mint (NM or M-): Near perfect record and cover. No visible flaws or defects (any manufacturing scuffs should be noted). No unexpected surface noise or other audible issues at normal listening volume.

Very Good Plus Plus (VG++): Only a very small number of minor flaws present (ex. a couple of faint hairlines, a light scuff). No unexpected surface noise or other audible issues at normal listening volume. Cover shows no significant ring wear, nor seam splits.

Very Good Plus (VG+): More slight signs of wear but still an excellent condition record that plays well. Any surface noise is very minimal and the record is still an enjoyable listen. No groove wear. Cover may show minor defects including very light ring wear.

Very Good (VG): More obvious wear. Surface noise evident on playing, especially in soft passages, and during a song's intro and fade but never overpowers the music. Ring wear and other defects evident.

Good (G): Worn. Significant surface noise throughout, scratches that produce noise, but will play through without skipping.

Poor (P), or Fair (F): Worn out. Won't play through without skipping or repeating.
