An incredible copy of the UK first pressing of Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon (1973).


Comes complete with both original posters, both original stickers, original hype sticker on the front of the sleeve (midnight blue and sealed on the left side of the gatefold), original poly-lined black inner sleeve and the classic solid blue triangle labels with A-2/B-2 matrix readings.


Vinyl has some minor surface marks that do not affect play and visually is VG+. The record plays through as EX without any clicks and little to no crackle in-between tracks.


My Dad bought this record when it was released and has been stored for years without much play. It's great to find a legitimate complete set-up with all original extras in this condition. I'll be sad to see this one go.


Please feel free to get in touch for additional photos and/or audio. I think the filter I've put on the photos fails to show the blue-tinge on the sleeve so I'd be happy to provide further proof, although I assure you of its authenticity!.


Please also feel free to get in touch with offers via message. Happy Bidding!

***SECOND EDIT***


I just thought I would add some more detail on each component - both stickers have the 'fastprint'/'crackback' branding on the back, with 45 degree angle peel lines and are both in NM condition. The pyramid poster is matte on thin paper and has no serial number anywhere on it (there is a small amount of blue-tack stuck onto the back corners which I haven't dared to try to remove but could be with alcohol if necessary, I assume it was hung on the wall at some point although there is no damage to the poster). The group photo is also matte on thin paper and has the SHVL 804 in the bottom right hand corner).
The hype sticker is purple and not black and has a very small tear at the bottom but generally isn't noticeable at distance. The inner also has all of the associated letters and numbers in both bottom corners. It really is a great copy with all the original extras rather than an ensemble of various different extras from early pressings which is so often observed in many listings of this record.
