For sale here are probably Pink Floyds 2 most iconic albums. Part of a huge (over 150 albums) Floyd collection I have been asked to sell. I do not have time to play-grade them all, so the assessment is visual. I have been collecting vinyl for over 50 years now, so have a good idea of how an album might sound. Any obvious marks will be noted.

Dark side of the moon. Very early pressing A3/B3. Black cover has light shelf-wear and general handling marks, and a small tear to inside right hand edge of gatefold. Super glossy vinyl with no worrying marks. Comes from a well cared for background history. The cover grades as very good and the vinyl, visually, excellent (grading to Record Collector guidelines). I have included 2 posters and 2 postcard/stickers as shown in the photos. Also included is the other sticker shown. The posters are a little tatty and I am pretty sure that the stickers are not the originals from release date, but are in great condition.
The Wall. 1st UK pressing with misaligned bricks, band credits etc etc. All the hallmarks of a first pressing, and the matrices are A4/B3/A3/B3, so a pretty early one. Vinyl again is very clean with no marks of concern. Also has a very small tear to the left hand side of the gatefold. From the same previous owner as "Dark side". Cover is graded as excellent, vinyl'sĀ also as excellent. Both these albums have had little play and look good for it. I have included the sticker shown in the photos.
Both records have been visually appraised, and graded as Ex. I can see no reason that these will not play to at least Ex standard, and possibly better than that. If for any reason the winning bidder is not entirely happy, I offer a full no quibble refund, including postage. Please no attempts at part refunds. I have been down that road far too many times. I WILL NOT part refund. It is all or nothing.
All vinyl is posted out in a new anti-static sleeve and heavy duty polythene cover for the outer sleeves. All in the price. Postage is 2nd class signed for. I post very quickly with extremely robust packaging. Please check out my feedback for highly delighted buyers and return buyers.
I am listing some of a quite large and comprehensive Pink Floyd collection over the coming days and weeks, so please check out my other items for sale, or save me as a seller. If you have any specific Floyd albums you are seeking, just let me know. I have several A2/B2 solid blue triangles, some A3/B2 copies, some other A3/B3 copies plus various other combinations of "Dark side of the moon" and UK 1st pressings of every title they have released, so give me a try!!
Any questions, or if you require more photos, just give me a shout. The only reason I am not play-grading everything is purely down to time. I have over 150 Pink Floyd albums from this collection and simply do not have time to play-grade. However I have been collecting vinyl since the late 60's, so know a thing or two about how a vinyl looks compared to how it sounds..... and with a no quibble refund promised, there is nothing to lose. No risks involved at all. If you decide to bid, good luck and happy bidding.
