ARTIST & TITLE: PINK FLOYD THE WALL 2LP NEW ZEALAND PRESSING - ***MAJOR PRINTING ERROR*** RARE!

PRESSING: NZ PRESSING

THIS IS AN EXCEPTIONAL COPY OF THE WALL DOUBLE LP, WHICH I HATE TO PART WITH, BUT I AM CULLING MY COLLECTION SO I AM OFFERING IT UP FOR AUCTION.

THIS IS AN ORIGINAL NEW ZEALAND PRESSING. NOT AUSTRALIAN. ANY PINK FLOYD WALL COLLECTOR KNOWS THERE ARE QUITE A FEW DIFFERENCES BETWEEN AND AUSTRALIAN AND A NZ COPY.  THE BIGGEST BEING THE LABEL ON THE ACTUAL VINYL. THE AUSTRALIAN ONE HAS "MADE IN AUSTRALIA  AT 7 O'CLOCK ON THE VINYL LABELS, THE NZ PRESSING OMITS THIS - SO IF YOU LOOK AT THE VINYL YOU WILL NOTICE THAT THIS IS 100% A NEW ZEALAND PRESSING. 

THE COVER IS LOVELY. I WOULD GRADE IT A EX-  OVER THE YEARS I HAVE OWNED OVER 10 COPIES OF THIS ALBUM (BOTH NZ AND AUS PRESSINGS) AND THIS HAS TO BE ONE OF THE NICEST "WHITE" COVERS I HAVE EVER SEEN. IT HAS BEEN KEPT IN A TIGHT PLASTIC BAG AND THERE IS MINIMAL IF ANY FOXING ON THE FRONT BACK, OR EVEN ON THE INSIDE OF THE GATEFOLD. USUALLY THIS COVER, BECAUSE IT IS STARK WHITE, IS EITHER STAINED OR HAS QUITE BAD FOXING. THIS WOULD BE ONE OF THE NICEST I HAVE EVER SEEN / OWNED.  THE FACT THAT IT  IS OVER 30 YEARS OLD AND LOOKS SO CRISP IS AMAZING (i THINK THE TIGHT PLASTIC BAG HAS REALLY HELPED? IT DOES HAVE A VERY SMALL NAME WRITTEN IN PEN ON THE FRONT (SEE PIC) AND SOME OLD RECORD SHOP STICKERS ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE. SINCE THE PHONE NUMBER IS ONLY 6 DIGITS (NEW ZEALAND WENT TO 7 DIGIT NUMBERS IN 1993) YOU CAN DEDUCE THAT THOSE STICKERS HAVE BEEN ON THE COVER FOR AT LEAST 20 YEARS, SO WHETHER THEY WILL LEAVE RESIDUE OR LEAVE AN OFF COLOR MARK, WHO KNOWS? - THAT IS FOR THE NEW OWENR TO DECIDE - I ALWAYS LEFT THEM ON THERE - AS I DID NOT WANT TO RISK DAMAGING IT . THEY MIGHT COME OFF AND LEAVE NO MARK OR THEY MIGHT LEAVE TAINTED FADED OR DARKENED AREAS WHERE THEY WERE, WHO KNOW.  ITS UP TO THE NEW WINNER TO DECIDE WHAT TO DO.  BUT ITS AT THEIR OWN RISK.

ONE OTHER POINT ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR COVER - THE LINES THAT MAKE THE BRICKS HAVE A SLIGHT BLUE /PURPLE TINT TO THEM - WHICH I HAVE NEVER REALLY SEEN BEFORE - ALL MY OTHER COPIES HAVE BEEN MUCH PALER,  ALMOST LIKE THEY ARE JUST A BLUE LINE DRAWN AS THE BRICKS, BUT THIS ONE LOOKS AMAZING AS IF YOU CAN REALLY SEE DEPTHS TO THE BRICKS.

ALSO NOTE THE BACK COVER HAS NO BARCODE (DON'T THINK ANY NZ COPIES EVER DID) AND APART FROM THE NAME IN PEN AND THE STICKERS ITS REALLY LOVELY, NO SPLITS AND THE SPINE IS INTACT.  

BOTH VINYL: ARE EX- VERY NICE

VINYL ONE (SIDE 1 AND 2) : LOOKS HARDLY PLAYED AND WELL LOOKED AFTER. I CAN SEE NO SPINDLE MARKS ON SIDE 1 AND MAYBE TWO SPINDLE MARKS ON SIDE 2 (SO I THINK SIDE ONE WAS PLAYED A COUPLE OF TIMES - BUT SIDE TOWN MIGHT NOT HAVE EVEN BEEN PLAYED)

VINYL TWO: (SIDE 3 AND 4) ALSO LOOKS HARDLY PLAYED - I CAN SEE ONE SPINDLE MARK ON SIDE 3 AND MAYBE TWO SPINDLE MARKS ON SIDE FOUR)

SO THIS VINYL HAS HAD MINIMAL PLAY AND IT SHOWS,  NICE AND SHINY AND FLAT (AND LUCKILY HAS THE ORIGINAL PLASTIC INNER SLEEVES (THE AMOUNT OF COPIES OF THIS ALBUM I HAVE OWNED WHERE THE PREVIOUS OWNERS HAVE JUST SLID THE VINYL IN THE WHITE INNER SLEEVES CAUSING MAJOR SCUFFS IS ASTOUNDING - BUT THIS ONE IS PROBABLY THE ACTUAL NICEST VINYL OF THIS ALBUM I HAVE EVER OWNED. MIGHT HAVE A FEW PAPER SCUFFS AND COULD POSSIBLY USE A CLEAN SINCE BOTH VINYL HAVE BEEN IN STORAGE FOR YEARS - BUT TO ME THEY BOTH LOOK PRIMO!

THE INNER SHEETS: NOW THIS IS WHERE THIS ALBUM GETS REALLY INTERESTING. AS I SAID I HAVE OWNED MANY COPIES OF THIS ALBUM (I STILL OWN A FEW) AND EVERY ONE I HAVE OWNED OR SEEN HAS CARDBOARD INNER SLEEVES IN WHICH THE VINYL SITS INSIDE THAT THEN SLIDE IN THE COVER. THESE SLEEVES HAVE THE LYRICS ON THEM. SOME OF THE SLEEVES ARE STRAIGHT CUT, OTHERS ARE V CUT. (DEPENDING ON WHEN AND WHERE THEY WERE ASSEMBLED) BUT THIS COPY IS THE ONLY COPY I HAVE EVER SEEN WHERE THE  INNERS ARE SHEETS NOT SLEEVES!!! IF YOU LOOK AT THE PHOTOS THEY ARE BOTH JUST THIN SHEETS. NOT EXACTLY PAPER, BUT NOT THICK CARDBOARD EITHER - MORE LIKE A LIGHT CARDBOARD. AND MOST AMAZINGLY IF YOU LOOK AT THE PHOTOS YOU CAN SEE THAT THE BRICKS ARE ON A 90 DEGREE ANGLE - AND THE LYRICS HAVE BEEN PRINTED ON THEM AT THE WRONG ANGLE. I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE - SURELY ITS A MAJOR MESS UP?  AND LIKE I SAID, I HAVE OWNED MANY COPIES OF THIS ALBUM AND i'VE NEVER SEEN ONE WITH JUST INSERTS INSTEAD OF SLEEVES - AND  ESPECIALLY NOT WITH THE BRICKS RUNNING HORIZONTAL INSTEAD OF VERTICAL.

I GOOGLED ALL THIS INFO ABOUT MESSED UP BRICKS  BUT CAME UP WITH NOTHING, SO I DONT KNOW HOW MANY COPIES WERE MADE LIKE THIS - BUT SURELY THERE CAN'T BE THAT MANY - AND SURELY ITS A MUST FOR ANY REAL AVID PINK FLOYD HARDCORE COLLECTOR!

ALSO ACCORDING TO PINKFLOYDARCHIVES.COM IT LOOKS AS IF THE FIRST COPIES WERE ISSUED WITH LYRICS SHEETS AND THEN LATER RE-PRESSES HAD THE THICK CARDBOARD INNER SLEEVES? AT LEAST THATS HOW IT APPEARS (I THOUGHT IT WOLD BE THE OTHER WAY AROUND - BUT APPARENTLY NOT)  

IF YOU NEED ANY MORE INFO PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK. I WILL ANSWER WHATEVER I CAN.

ALL VINYL IS TAKE OUT OF THE COVERS TO PREVENT ANY SPLITTING AND THEM ALL PACKED IN A PLASTIC BAG AND SHIPPED IN HEAVY CARDBOARD TO KEEP IT SAFE IN TRANSIT. (SEE MY FEEDBACK TO SEE HOW WELL I PACK THINGS) 

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK QUESTIONS. I REALIZE THE PRICE IS HIGH BUT IN ALL HONESTY IF I DON'T SELL THIS - I WILL BE JUST AS HAPPY TO KEEP IT MYSELF.

NM = Mint. No such thing really, unless its still sealed. Brand new, unplayed. 
EX- = Excellent. Looks almost new. Possibly has one to two minors faults, and some evidence of having been played, with no audible defect.
VG+ = Very Good Plus. Has light scuffs and scratches but mostly inaudible. possibly can hear a bit of noise in quiet parts. Records with slight surface noise and/or scuffs fall into this category.
VG = Very Good. Has a bit more wear and tear, surface noise a bit more apparent, but still very listenable. Records in this category have more significant damage or wear.
VG- = More, distracting surface noise. Quite audible but good for singalongs etc ;-) Only used for rarites that you otherwise may not find.
G+ = Good Plus. Not really good, more like a dustbin lid, used really only for rarities and/or label fillers FEEL FREE TO ASK QUESTIONS.
