Description
First pressing of this classic LP. Vinyl is a solid EX with just a light mark on side one track one. Gatefold sleeve has a circular sticker only added to very earlier pressing. Sleeve is fully intact with just some light wear at corners, one of which has a small crease (see photo). Comes with the original black inner This does not include poster or stickers. This is the Holy Grail for Floyd fans - the very first pressing on the original stampers.
The label has a solid light blue prism. Subsequent pressings have a blue glowing inner edge prism with the centre black.
'The Gramophone Co.' text starts at 10 o'clock on label.
A2/B2 matrix in deadwax of run out groove.
Thick heavyweight vinyl believed by some to be the 'finest' and most true encapsulation of this historical recording as the first pressing was pressed direct from the original masterplate. "These 1st pressings were straight from the masters and nothing even gets close to them today. They play with a deep clear warm clarity and have to be heard to be believed!".
There is a distinct bluish tint/tinge in the black ink of the cover. Inner sleeve is a distinctive polythene lined die cut black semi matt paper with white printed text stating 2 patent numbers bottom left [112555/1072844] and 'MADE IN GREAT BRITAIN' bottom right.
Very first copies came with a small round sticker white text on black stating 'Pink Floyd The Dark Side of the Moon'.
