Why this pressing is interesting
There are numerous UK versions of The Wall, so the matrix numbers are important when identifying the early pressings. The Pink Floyd Archives lists A-2U / B-3U // A-1U / B-2U among the Harvest 1st-issue variants.
This is therefore a great copy for collectors looking specifically for an early UK pressing of The Wall, rather than simply a later 1979/80 copy.
Will be carefully packaged in a proper LP mailer with appropriate protection.
