Description

This superb boxed set of Pink Floyd’s first 11 albums includes the unique “Wish You Were Here” LP as a picture disc, still in its original shrink wrap, PLUS the equally unique “Dark Side of the Moon” also as a picture disc and still in its original shrink wrap. Both of these picture discs were only released as part of this boxed set. All 11 of the LP’s HAVE NEVER BEEN PLAYED and are in perfect “factory fresh” condition. The only exception to this is “Obscured by Clouds” which has minor damaged to the cover on the centre of the spine but is otherwise perfect. The box (it is a “slip case” design) is in good condition with minor scuff marks on the edge and back. EMI Records in the UK released this boxed set, probably in 1978 (before “The Wall” was released in 1979). Remember, the two picture discs were only ever released as part of this boxed set, so for you collectors out there this is a unique opportunity to add these rare discs to your collection. And they are both shrink wrapped in “straight from the factory” condition.

This comes from a collection of classic sets put away in a cupboard many years ago, none of which have ever been played. I thought it was time these went to an owner who would appreciate them!

Since I always combine postage costs for successful bidders, why not check out some of the others in my current auction?

** I cannot give you the catalogue number for the shrink wrapped picture disc “Wish You Were Here” without opening the shrink wrap!

This is a superb set in excellent condition and very rarely available, particularly so since none of the records have ever been played. Don’t miss out on this opportunity. It is quite heavy, hence the high postage cost (sorry!) but you are welcome to collect if you wish. Happy bidding!
