I recently purchased a stunning Pink Floyd collection where all the records and covers have been so well preserved by the previous owner.  I am selling the majority of them during this auction.
Pink Floyd : More 1G/1G w/ Green Tinted Cover - Non-Flipback rare!
This early pressing plays to a superb standard for the vast majority with only a little interference at the end of one track, it does not last long!  There are no loud clicks or pops, just a few very light ticks, and the clarity overall is very impressive for a record with so many quiet sections.  The vinyl is visually stunning and has clearly hardly ever been on a turntable.
This is known as a third pressing as it has two EMI logos on each label and Made in Gt Britain at the foot of each.  However, it still has the green tinted back cover with the couple facing west.  In my opinion this has to be the rarest version of this cover as there are no flipbacks and has what looks like a 'paste on' green tinted cover.  It is the third known variation of this third pressing but this is the first one I have ever seen and I have seen a lot!  It can have only been produced in limited numbers before turning to the grey tinted cover with the couple facing right.  It is excellent condition with only minimal wear and the inner sleeve is also very clean.

Visual grading
The vinyl is in beautiful condition and has obviously hardly been played.  There is hardly any spindle wear and the vinyl itself still has that 'new' jet black glossy sheen.  There are no marks or scratches and I can only locate a couple of very faint hairlines, it really is visually so impressive.  The labels are in superb condition with no marking at all.
Play grading
The very quiet 'birdsong' intro on 'Cirrus Minor' plays so clearly with barely any static and just 3/4 light static ticks towards the end of this section that is all.  The opening vocal also plays with great clarity with only a handful of insignificant background ticks.  It continues to play with a quality that defies the age of the album and there are no clicks or pops to be heard.  A small number of mega light static ticks but you expect this with vinyl and in no way they are intrusive.  This is largely a quiet instrumental track and yet there is nothing that intrudes on the overall 'listen'.  The end section is particularly impressive and I think Near Mint- is a fair assessment of the audio.
'The Nile Song' plays with tremendous power and depth from the first note to the last.  Not a typical Floyd song but it nonetheless plays with stunning precision and no distortion whatsoever.  Mint-
The super quiet intro on 'Crying Song' is again so 'clean' with barely any static and Gilmour's first vocal is just as impressive.  It progresses in the same way and you really cannot fault the quality of the audio.  I detected only a small number of very minor ticks and already it is obvious this vinyl has hardly been played.  This is easily Near Mint if not better.
The percussive 'Up The Khyber' plays with incredible clarity and depth from start to finish with no intrusion.  This is Mint in every way.
For such a quiet track 'Green Is The Colour' plays beautifully with no actual interference.  I think this third issue was released in '72 so this record is already 52 years old or very close to it.  The clarity throughout is exceptional with only a couple of very quiet ticks on the intro and a handful of barely audible dust ticks.  A superb Mint- version.
'Cymbaline' plays with wonderful clarity for the vast majority.  There are 3/4 light static ticks around the second chorus but this is hardly intrusive and also three static clicks on the final instrumental section.  Aside from that you cannot fault the audio and like I say the majority is stunning.  Ex+ overall.
'Party Sequence' ends the side with great precision and no background.  Even the fade out plays perfectly.  Mint-
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The intro on 'Main Theme' begins perfectly and there are only a handful of minor static sounds soon after that.  As the percussion comes in the playback is so clear and it continues in much the same way.  The odd mega light static tick but there is nothing that intrudes on the quality of the 'listen' apart from on the quiet end section where there is a light click once per revolution of the record.  I would grade this as Near Mint- for the majority and VG for the final few seconds.  It is certainly not a loud click sound.
Much like track two on S1 'Ibiza Bar' plays with great power and depth and again there is no distortion.  Mint- without doubt.
'More Blues' plays with stunning precision from the get go.  This is such a quiet instrumental and yet there is barely any background, just a very small number of very light static ticks and just one that is a little more obvious towards the end.  Near Mint
The 'intro' on 'Quicksilver' plays very clearly with barely any static and only a couple of minor ticks.  From then on it plays with only very minimal background.  Most plays to a Mint standard and there are only a small number of the usual light ticks that you find on vinyl.  The clarity for such quiet track is so impressive and the only obvious interference are a couple of static clicks towards the end.  I think Near Mint- is a fair assessment of the audio.
'A Spanish Piece' is 'as new' with no interference.  A superb Mint version.
'Dramatic Theme' ends the album with audio that is close to perfect.  There is just one dull pop near the end but otherwise it is...perfect.  I cannot see what is causing it so perhaps it is a pressing fault.  Near Mint 
In summary this early pressing plays with very impressive clarity and depth and only very minimal background.  The most obvious of which is at the end of 'Main Theme' but this does not last long and as stated there are no loud clicks or pops.  There are so many quiet sections and yet the clarity is superb overall and this is quite clearly a record that has not been played very much.
The Cover & Inner Sleeve
The laminated cover is in excellent condition with only minimal wear and has lost none of its original shape.  The edges have barely any rubbing and the thin pinched spine is in superb order and remains fully legible.  All of the corners are very clean with very little wear and the opening edge has no handling wear either.  The front cover is extremely clean with only a small number of small faint laminate creases on the right side and a handful of minor creases next to the spine as is common.  The green tinted non-flipback reverse side (very rare!) is in lovely condition with barely any marking - just one very small faint mark lower right and another even smaller one near the bottom edge.  A fine example overall.
The plain white die-cut inner sleeve is in great shape with no marking and only a little creasing.
