SX 6157


XAX 3419-2, XAX 3420-1



Genuine Mono XAX 3419-1, XAX 3420-1. The vinyl has its original high sheen, rarely played and very well cared for. Under bright light, just a very few light hairlines are visible.


I have played the entire record and it sounds fantastic


Here is a genuine piece of musical history - an absolute earliest first copy of Pink Floyd's first ever LP!



Not only does this have the first press matrix numbers, but with the first mothers and the first stampers on both sides, you cannot find an earlier copy. This really is the ultimate first pressing and it is in outstanding condition.


As you would expect, this has the following matrix numbers:


Side 1: XAX 3419-1


Side 2: XAX 3420-1



The cover is in excellent condition and is clean with no writing, with 'File under Popular: Pop groups' printed here. Comes with original advertising inner sleeve.

Detailed description

Vinyl:

The vinyl looks great and has retained its original bright high sheen. It has clearly been very well cared for and rarely played. Under bright light, just a few hairlines and some light pressing marks visible. The record sounds fantastic with clear vibrant audio and grades EX.


Labels:

Both labels look superb with just very light spindle marking. The side 1 label also has the KT tax code stamped near the centre hole.


Sleeve:

This is an original example with 'File under Pop' on the rear top flip-back. It is very clean with no damage at all, writing, splits, tears or stickers etc and just very light signs of use. Grades as EX. The spine is solid and firm and the text is all 100% readable. There are just very light signs of use at the opening and there is minimal wear at the spine corners.

Inner sleeve:

Original EMI advertising inner sleeve. No splits, tears or damage, just minor signs of age and use.
