On offer here is a VERY rare Double LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by Pink Floyd called "The Wall" and is an ORIGINAL 1979 UK 1st Pressing on the 1st Press Harvest label!!!!  THIS DOUBLE LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!!  THIS IS ONE OF PINK FLOYD'S RAREST LPs EVER - AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE!!!!  JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE!!!!  IT IS ONE OF THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER LPs OF ALL TIME - AND IS INCREDIBLY HARD TO FIND LIKE THIS TODAY!!!!  BUT WHAT MAKES THIS DOUBLE LP REALLY SPECIAL IS THAT IT IS ONE OF THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSINGS EVER MADE - WITH SOME AMAZING DIFFERENCES THAT ALL LATER PRESSINGS NEVER HAD!!!!  AND THIS IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ON THIS DOUBLE LP!!!!  NOW MOST LARGE SELLING DOUBLE LPs SEEM TO BE STUPIDLY BROKEN UP INTO A HUNDRED MILLION PRESSINGS TODAY - WHICH IS PERFECTLY RIDICULOUS!!!!  PEOPLE EVEN GO ON ABOUT THE MATRIXES - WHICH IS TRULY LAUGHABLE ON THIS DOUBLE LP!!!!  OF COURSE - IF YOU ARE LUCKY ENOUGH TO FIND 1/1/2/1 MATRIXES WITH 1/G 1/G 1/G 1/G STAMPERS (THE 'EARLIEST POSSIBLE!) - THEN IT IS TREMENDOUSLY IMPORTANT, AS THESE MATRIXES WERE ONLY EVER USED AS A SMALL TRIAL TO EXAMINE THE FINISHED DOUBLE LP PRIOR TO RELEASE!!!!  BUT ALL OTHER MATRIXES ARE IRRELEVANT - BECAUSE MULTIPLE PRESSING LINES WERE USED FROM DAY 1, WITH MULTIPLE DIFFERENT MATRIXES!!!!  THAT SAID THIS DOUBLE LP HAS ONE OF THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS SETS OF MATRIXES I HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED - BEING 2U/3U/2U/3U (AND THIS SHOW THIS DOUBLE LP WAS DEFINITELY PRESSED WAY BEFORE THE RELEASE DATE!)!!!!  BUT THERE ARE A FEW DETAILS THAT ARE INDEED VERY IMPORTANT - AND ARE MAJOR DIFFERENCE COMPARED TO LATER PRESSINGS!!!!  FIRSTLY THE 'LYRIC' INNER SLEEVES ARE THICK, AND HAVE ROUNDED CORNERS (LATER ONES ARE THINNER, AND HAVE SQUARE CORNERS!).  SECONDLY THERE IS NO 'BARCODE' ON THE COVER BACK (LATER ONES DO!).  THIRDLY THE BOTTOM LINE OF THE 'BRICKS' ARE NOT ALIGNED ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE (LATER ONES ARE!).  FOURTHLY THE LABELS ARE THE 'EARLIEST POSSIBLE' 1ST PRESS TYPE - WITH VERY 'DARK PRINT' (LATER ONES HAVE LIGHTER PRINT INSTEAD!)!!!!  AND LASTLY AND MOST IMPORTANTLY THIS DOUBLE LP HAS '1ST PRESS ONLY' INSIDE COVER CREDITS THAT WERE CHANGED ON LATER PRESSINGS!!!!  AS YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE FROM THE PICTURES - THE INSIDE COVER DOES NOT LIST PINK FLOYD BAND MEMBERS (LATER ONES DO!), AND THE PRODUCTION CREDITS START WITH 'DAVID GILMOUR' (LATER ONES DONT!)!!!!  SO THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT AT ALL - THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE 'EARLIEST' & RAREST 1ST PRESSINGS YOU CAN POSSIBLY GET - AND IN ABSOLUTELY STUNNING CONDITION!!!

BUT WHAT MAKES THIS DOUBLE LP EVEN RARER STILL - IS THAT THE FRONT PLASTIC STICKER IS COMPLETELY 'UNPEELED' AND COMPLETELY AND SOLIDLY STUCK ON THE COVER FRONT (THOUGH OF COURSE STILL REMOVEABLE!)!!!!  AND THIS IS ALMOST NEVER SEEN ON THIS DOUBLE LP - AND MAKES THIS ONE OF THE ALL TIME RAREST 1ST PRESSINGS LEFT IN EXISTENCE!!!!  THE 'PLASTIC STICKER' WAS DESIGNED TO BE REMOVEABLE FROM THE COVER FRONT, AND USED AS A 'WINDOW STICKER' (IN A CAR OR IN A HOUSE).  HOWEVER, ONCE THE STICKER WAS REMOVED, IT WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO RE-ATTACH, AS IT WAS ONLY COMPRESSION FROM THE VACUUM APPLICATOR IN THE FACTORY THAT HELD THE STICKER TO THE COVER FRONT IN THE FIRST PLACE (NO GLUE WAS EVER USED!)!!!!  SO ONCE IT WAS WAS REMOVED, AIR GOT UNDER THE PLASTIC STICKER, AND IT WAS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO RE-ATTACH!!!!  HOWEVER, IN THIS CASE, THE PLASTIC STICKER HAS NEVER BEEN REMOVED FROM THE COVER FRONT, AND STILL FIRMLY IN PLACE!!!!  OF COURSE - IT IS STILL EASILY REMOVEABLE IF SO WISHED (AS IT WAS DESIGNED TO DO!) BUT JUST BE AWARE - THAT ONCE YOU REMOVE IT, IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO RE-ATTACH!!!!  AND THIS MAKES THIS DOUBLE LP ESPECIALLY RARE - AS FINDING A 1ST PRESSING WITH A FULLY ATTACHED 'PLASTIC STICKER ON THE COVER FRONT, IS NOW ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE!!!!

PLEASE NOTE - Private feedback bidders must consult me first prior to bidding - due to previous problems regarding non-payment, and non-receipt.   MY POSTAGE UNDERCHARGE GUARANTEE TO ALL BUYERS (I always undercharge on postage!):-  Due to UK Royal Mail's obscene price increases this year - I have had no choice but to increase postage charges a little.  Until this year - I had kept them exactly the same since I joined ebay back in 2002.  However this years price increases have been so obscene, that I have had no choice but to increase my postage charges for the first time ever.  However PLEASE NOTE - my absolute 100% guarantee to you as a buyer - is that I will ALWAYS undercharge postage on everything I send out.  Even after the increases, I am still charging you the buyer LESS than I am being charged myself.  On each package I send out - the price is clearly stated on the front of the package (please check it when you recieve it!).  I also do NOT charge for packaging costs - ONLY for postal costs!  And should you find that I have overcharged you postage in ANY way - I will refund DOUBLE the difference.  THAT IS MY 100% POSTAL GUARANTEE FOR EACH AND EVERY BUYER!  No buyer EVER deserves to be overcharged on postage - and on my listings, I'll make sure they are ALWAYS undercharged.  Any questions - please ask!
