Description
ANOTHER RARE AND HIGHLY COLLECTABLE PINK FLOYD ALBUM FROM MY PRIVATE COLLECTION, WITH THE VINYL IN STUNNING CONDITION. THIS IS THE BOOTLEG ALBUM "PINKY" THAT HAS A VERY INTERESTING HISTORY. THIS IS A MOST SOUGHT AFTER PIECE, AND FOR A BOOTLEG THE SOUND QUALITY IS EXTREMELY GOOD. I SHALL PROVIDE AS MUCH INFORMATION AS POSSIBLE TO GO WITH THE PHOTOGRAPHS AND THIS IS MAINLY SOURCED FROM THE WEBSITE "FLOYDBOOT". THANKS!!
QUOTE: "RARE EARLY ENGLISH BOOTLEG IN A PLAIN WHITE COVER SOME WITH PINKY WRITTEN ON THE FRONT AND SOME WITH AN EXTREMELY RARE PAPER INSERT. ALL KNOWN COPIES HAVE PLAIN WHITE OR BLUE LABELS. THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN THE CAUSE OF MUCH CONFUSION SINCE IT FIRST APPEARED.........THIS WAS IN FACT THE SINGLE ALBUM WITH THE DJ3003 MATRIX NUMBER LISTED IN THIS GUIDE UNDER SEVERAL DIFFERENT NAMES:- "EMBRYO- LIVE IN GERMANY", "BIG PINK(UNTITLED)", AND "ROTTERDAM 1970" AS WELL AS THE ORIGINAL NAME OF "PINKY". ALL KNOWN "PINKY" ALBUMS HAVE THE DJ3003 MATRIX, AND IS RATED AS A 5* RATING FOR RARITY."
SO A LITTLE MORE DETAIL ON WHAT IS FOR SALE HERE. AS CAN BE SEEN IN THE PHOTOGRAPHS, THE LP COVER IS OF CARDBOARD FLIP BACK CONSTRUCTION, WITH 3 FLIPBACKS TO THE REAR. THE FRONT IS PLAIN WHITE,BUT HAS SOME OLD SELLOTAPE MARKS (WHERE THE PRESS CUTTINGS THAT ARE PICTURED WERE ONCE STUCK) THE REAR OF THE COVER, AGAIN, HAS SELLOTAPE MARKS FOR THE SAME REASONS. WRITTEN IN RED AND GREY IS THE ARTIST AND TRACK INFORMATION, AND IS STATED AS BEING PINK FLOYD RECORDED LIVE IN HAMBURG. THIS INFORMATION IS INCORRECT, AND A VISIT TO THE WEBSITE MENTIONED EARLIER WILL TELL YOU THAT SEVERAL VARIANT COVER INFORMATION WAS ISSUED WRONGLY AND THIS IS THE CASE HERE. THE RELIABLE INFORMATION IS THE MATRICES STAMPED INTO THE DISC RUN OFF. THESE ARE DJ 3003A ON SIDE 1 AND DJ3003B ON SIDE 2 PROVING THAT THIS IS INDEED "PINKY" OR ONE OF ITS A.K.As. TRACKS ON SIDE 1 ARE EMBRYO AND INTERSTELLAR OVERDRIVE, AND ON SIDE 2 IS ATOM HEART MOTHER.
THE CONDITION NOW. THE COVER IS FAIRLY FLIMSY CARD, HAS A SPLIT TO ITS SPINE BUT HAS ONLY MINOR RINGWEAR (AN IMPRESSION OF THE DISC ABOUT 3 INCHES LONG ON THE REAR ONLY- THATS ALL) THE REST OF IT IS GOOD, CLEAN AND HAS ONLY VERY MINOR CREASING AND IT IS NEARLY 38 YEARS OLD DON'T FORGET!! THE INNER SLEEVE IS PLAIN WHITE BUT IS YELLOWING SLIGHTLY WITH AGE. THERE ARE NO MARKS ON IT, NOR ANY TYPED INFORMATION. TOTALLY BLANK. THE PRESS CUTTINGS WILL TRAVEL WITH THE LP, AS THEY MAKE INTERESTING READING COMING FROM 1970 AS THEY DO. THE VINYLS THEMSELVES ARE IN A VERY STRONG CONDITION. BOTH SIDES SHOW NOTHING BUT THE VERY FEINTEST OF SLEEVE REMOVAL WHISPERS, AND DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE SPINDLE HOLES ARE VERY TIGHT, AND THERE IS NO TRACE OF "SPIDERING" AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE, I WOULD SAY THAT THIS HAS RARELY EVER BEEN PLAYED, AND VERY CAREFULLY IF AND WHEN IT WAS! THE PRESS CUTTINGS THAT WERE ATTACHED TO THE SLEEVE ARE A LOVELY PIECE OF HISTORY TOO, AND IN MY VIEW ADD SOME AUTHENTICITY AND MOOD TO THIS 1970 GEM. A GENUINE PIECE OF VERY EARLY PINK FLOYD HISTORY.
SO THATS THE PACKAGE. VERY VERY RARE, ALTHOUGH YES, THEY APPEAR FOR SALE FROM TIME TO TIME. IN FACT ONE HAS RECENTLY SHOWN UP ON EBAY AND HAD ALOT OF INTEREST. THIS IS AVAILABLE TO POST WORLDWIDE, AND POSTAL CHARGES MAY VARY BECAUSE OF THAT. I WILL ONLY SEND 1st CLASS REGISTERED TO UK, AND INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR TO REST OF THE WORLD. THIS PROTECTS US BOTH WITH A RARE ITEM LIKE THIS. MY PACKING IS SUBSTANTIAL, AND DAMAGE IN TRANSIT IS HIGHLY UNLIKELY. THE DISC WILL TRAVEL SEPERATE FROM ITS COVER, AND HOUSED IN A POLYTHENE ANTI-STATIC SLEEVE. PLEASE LOOK AT MY FEEDBACK AND BID WITH CONFIDENCE. WHAT YOU READ IS WHAT YOU GET.
COVER STRICTLY GRADED AS VERY GOOD. INNER SLEEVE STRICTLY GRADED AS VERY GOOD. THE VINYL, FOR BOTH SIDES IS STRICTLY GRADED AS NEAR MINT. ALL IN ALL A LOVELY RARE EXAMPLE OF EARLY FLOYD PROBABLY AT THEIR PEAK. ANY QUESTIONS AT ALL, PLEASE FIRE AWAY- I WILL DO MY BEST TO ANSWER THEM QUICKLY AND ACCURATLY.
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BIDDING, AND THANKS FOR LISTENING!!!
INTERNATIONAL POSTAGE PRICES WILL BE OBTAINED AFTER AUCTION WHEN ITEM IS PACKAGED AND WEIGHED. I ONLY CHARGE WHAT IT COSTS ME TO POST!!!!! THE WINNER WILL BE NOTIFIED PRIOR TO SENDING.
