Description

Rare PINK FLOYD Wish You Were Here ORG 1975 German Blue LP in EX+/EX+ Condition

Welcome to my listings.
 To all overseas bidders:  Please read before bidding. I will not falsify any information when sending custom declarations. I will indicate the true value of any item that has been sold. It is the responsibility of the buyer to pay the correct custom duty on any winning item.
No exceptions will be made. All overseas bidders please message me first on postal costs to your country before bidding so that you know exactly what your costs are going to be. All items are packed and dispatched in heavy duty LP mailers with cardboard reinforcements. I use heavy duty packaging tape. I always separate the LP from the sleeve and any inner sleeves that are part of the LP. This stops any damage to the item while in transit.

PINK FLOYD Wish You Were Here Rare and becoming increasingly harder to find genuine Original 1975 German 5-track Limited Edition BLUE vinyl LP including original lyric inner, full colour postcard, unique picture sleeve variant with 'Farbige Pressing' text. This item I believe to be an anomaly the Label, Cover and Postcard ( the post card has the correct catalogue number) are all in German and authentic but the inner sleeve and matrix numbers are scratched Dutch catalogue numbers.


PLAY GRADED: VISUAL GRADING

Equipment used to test this LP was my Townshend Rock II turntable positioned on a Townshend Seismic Vibration Isolation Platform, with a Linn Ittok modified arm and Audio Technica VM95ML Shibata modified cartridge feeding through a Trilogy 906 phono stage positioned on a Townshend Seismic Sink. Amplification is a Lavardin IS amp positioned on a Townshend Seismic Vibration Isolation Platform. Speakers are bi-wired Nordost Blue Heaven Rev II Speaker Cable Impluse H6's positioned on Townshend Seismic Isolation Bars.


The LP was played through its entirety and there was just very light minimal surface noise heard through the very quieter moments. There were no annoying skips, jumps of mis-tracking. While listening no track exhibited any sticking. There were no loud pops or any other annoying defects heard. There was no noise distortion, while listening the music flowed with crystal clear clarity. If marking out of 10 then this is easily a 9.5 out of 10 playback.

 

Please note that this is a used item and there is always isolated static, ticks, light pops that maybe or can be heard, even in the quieter places during the play of any vinyl. There will be elements of surface noise.

Please remember that this is an Original 49 year old LP.
I cannot guarantee exactly how this LP will sound on your turntable/system - Cartridge and stylus profile, tracking weight, Arm VTA, arm type all go to make a difference to the sound and performance of any LP/single being played. 


THE COVER: The cover shows only the lightest minimal wear to the top and bottom edges. The spine also shows just very light wear with light creasing.  All corners have also very light minimal wear with no major age related rounding. The opening edge shows no fethering and has remained clean and crisp. The covers surface has just very light storage scuffing and creasing so I have graded the cover in EXCELLENT++ condition. 


THE BACK COVER: The back cover reflects the front so I have graded the back cover again in EXCELLENT++ condition.


THE INNER SLEEVE: The picture/lyric inner sleeve has been graded in EXCELLENT+ condition with no signs of damage other than the very light wavy creasing to the bottom right hand corner.


THE POSTCARD: The decaled edged post card has been graded in EXCELLENT+ condition with no signs of damage.


THE VINYL: Both sides of this LP still retains all of their original lustre and sheen with no dulling and in daylight look awesome. Placed under a 100w bulb there are no deep scratches to any side of this LP. There are only minor hairline marks. There are light visible scuff marks to both sides which did not effect play back. I have graded this LP in EXCELLENT+ condition.

Side 1 in EXCELLENT+ condition. Side 2 in EXCELLENT+ condition.
