Notes - A true original unopened 1975 1st UK pressing. This might belong in a museum. There aren't many left of these in the world and the vast majority of them are in private collections at this point. Pink Floyd released their follow-up to 1973's Dark Side Of The Moon on September 12, 1975 (a day later in the US). The very first pressings were sent to stores in the non-transparent black plastic shrink wrap you see in the pictures, without the sticker. After a few days of poor sales the folks at Harvest Records wised up and sent stickers to be put on the front covers so consumers would know what the album was. True first pressings of this legendary LP have the following:


  • No breathe holes. Later pressings before they abandoned the black shrink wrap have rows of breathe holes in it. This has no breathe holes.
  • The spine narrows on the top and bottom. This has the spine narrowing.
  • Shince shop owners/employess had to place the sticker on the cover themselves, sometimes it is noticably off-center or tilted. This is both.

This was issued with a postcard and a die-cut inner sleeve, both of which are presumed to be inside. Free priority mail shipping and insurance will be included for US residents. Signature confirmation may be required.


SHIPPING

Shipping is FREE in the USA (media mail)

Shipping is $20.00 per record overseas, $5.00 per additional. After four pounds (usually 4-6 records) it becomes priority mail international and is a bit more expensive. Ask me for a quote if you plan on winning several auctions. Canadian residents - the same applies but it is $15.00, $5.00 per additional.
