Description
It's time to dispose of my entire Pink Floyd collection, amassed over the past 40 years, so keep an eye out for 1st pressings, monos and stereos. And some rare 45s.
I will do my best to describe each item in full and questions are welcome. I will visually grade in bright sunlight. If I find any blemishes I will grade again after playing through a Rega RP3/Ortofon/Naim setup. I do not have headphones so of course I might miss some pops and clicks - but I want to stay on good terms with my neighbours!
I do not grade 50 + year old records as EX, even if I think they are. I can't imagine any exist as EX outside Pink Floyd's own collections or a museum. The highest I will grade is VG++
Pink Floy's second single, the picture sleeve demo, released 52 years ago in minute quantities.

UK Demo / promo picture sleeve.
I have owned this incredible rarity for decades and played it for the first time 10 minutes ago in order to check that there were no problems with it. And there were none. It plays beautifully. Just a couple of crackles here and there on the quiet bits. No jumps. The record would might benefit from a clean - I do not clean my records prior to selling as folk have their own strong opinions about record cleaning.
A visual inspection in bright sunlight shows the expected hairlines from putting the record in and out of the sleeve. But nothing more serious than a light surface marks. This record has been well looked after. I can attest to that for the past 20-odd years as it's been stored away by myself. But before that it looks like it didn't have much use either. VG.

The fragile, unlaminated sleeve has no splits. The shape of the recod can me made out, but it is not ring-wear. Some very light creasing exists and some slight browning from age here and there. No writing or rips. VG+
I know many people will want to contact me and ask for a Buy It Now price, or request I stop the auction early. Please try to resist this urge as I will be starting this auction at a pittance and letting it run until its conclusion.
It will be dispatched from the UK during the first week of July, using Royal Mail tracked. This covers up to £250.00 insurable loss. If you require more insurance this will be at the purchaser's own expense - I sent a £2000 45 to Ireland recently via courier with full insurance and it cost £200. I reserve the right to insist on courier to certain countries. I am willing to combine postage.
