Here is a remarkable example of this classic album which looks like it has hardly ever been played.
This has the following 1st press matrix numbers, 1st mothers and really early stampers:Side 1: YAX 3633-1 1 O Side 2: YAX 3634-1 1 P The whole thing is in superb condition.
Detailed description Vinyl: The vinyl looks superb and has retained its original high sheen.
It has clearly been very well cared for and rarely played.
Under bright light, just a few hairlines and fine marks were visible, mainly on side one but there is absolutely nothing significant anywhere.
I have played the entire record and it sounds fantastic with almost nothing to report.
There is some soft background noise which can be heard in the quiet parts and the run-ins/outs, fades, silent grooves and intros and the occasional random click.
But there is absolutely nothing loud or intrusive anywhere.
Like most Pink Floyd albums, this record has lots of very quiet and sparsely arranged sections and I doubt that it is possible to find a copy that genuinely plays Near Mint all the way through, but this is the best I ve heard and considering how quiet much of this album is, I think it would be very hard to find another 1st pressing which sounds as good.
This is an outstanding example and was a real pleasure to listen to.
Much of it sounds Near Mint NM , but to cover everything I would play-grade side one as Excellent plus Ex and side two as Excellent plus Ex approaching Near Mint NM .
Labels: Both labels looks superb with minimal spindle marking, suggesting that the record has hardly ever been played.
Sleeve: The sleeve is really nice and clean with no damage, writing, splits, tears or stickers etc and just very light signs of use.
There are some creases around the edges and corners and slight shaping around the disk.
The lamination has retained its original high-sheen with no wear or dullness and looks almost like new.
The flipbacks are all complete, intact and undamaged and the unlaminated rear is near-perfect with no ring-wear.
I think it would be hard to find a better example.
Edge wear: top/spine/bottom/opening: none/minimal/none/light.
There is no wear to the top or bottom edges and minimal wear to the spine just at the tips of the corners .
The spine is solid and firm and the text is all 100 readable.
There are just normal, light signs of use at the opening.
Corner wear: Light to minimal Inner sleeve: Original EMI advertising inner sleeve.
No damage, splits or tears, just some very minor signs of age or use.
Detracting features not covered above: None.
This is a superb example and I think it would be very hard to find a better one.

Information about descriptions.
My items are always described accurately and fairly.
I always do my best to point out any blemishes which might detract from the item and all photographs are of the actual item you will get.
Play-graded vinyl: I play grade records where possible but I don t have time to play them all.
I always state in the listing if I have played a record prior to describing it.
Visually-graded vinyl: Unless specifically stated in the listing, vinyl is visually graded.
A visual grading will identify physical flaws such as scratches and can help determine whether a record has been cared-for properly.
I always do my best to give a fair assessment of any visible marks on the playing surface, but a visual grading will not identify noise or crackle caused by non-visible sources.
Most of the records I sell are between thirty and fifty years old and so it is likely that there may be some background noise even if they look perfect.
Please see Terms and Conditions below for my refunds policy for visually graded records.
I have some very simple terms and conditions.
Please read them and ensure that you understand them before bidding.
Thank you.

Vinyl is removed from the sleeve for posting and the contents will be protected with rigid cardboard stiffeners.
All packages are labelled Do not bend and securely sealed with FRAGILE parcel tape.
I support the use of recycled materials and so I may sometimes use recycled packaging.
