PLEASE
NOTE - this week my auction listings, will look slightly different!
This is because I have absolutely LOADS of items to list, and this is
the quickest way to list them - whilst still retaining ALL the very
important detail on condition, rarity etc (see all details below!).
Any questions, don't hesitate to get in touch via ebay messages, and
GOOD LUCK if you decide to bid! Please read on about this AMAZING item
below:-
RARITY:- HERE
YOU HAVE WHAT IS THE VERY BEST CONDITIONED 1ST PRESSING OF THIS DOUBLE
LP ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD TODAY! AS A 1ST PRESSING IT FEATURES:- 1) THE 1ST PRESS 'WITHDRAWN' COVER + NO BANDMEMBERS LISTED ('WORDS AND MUSIC BY ROGER WATERS' ONLY!). 2)
NUMBERED MOTHER CODINGS + LETTERED STAMPER CODINGS (FROM JANUARY 1980
ONWARDS THESE CHANGED TO NUMBERS FOR BOTH THE MOTHERS & STAMPERS ON
THE RECORDS!). 3) THE COVER IS SLIGHTLY CREAM COLOURED AND NOT TRUE WHITE! ON LATER COPIES THIS CHANGED TO BRIGHT WHITE INSTEAD! BUT
BETTER STILL - IT IS FULLY SEALED (APART FROM THE OPENING EDGES) WHICH
MEANS THE COVER HAS NEVER BEEN OPENED OUT, THE INSIDE HAS NEVER BEEN
TOUCHED, AND THE 'TRANSPARENT' PINK FLOYD PLASTIC IS STILL FULLY UNDER
THE 'FACTORY SEAL' AND HAS NEVER BEEN TOUCHED! SO IT IS LITERALLY THE BEST CONDITIONED 1ST PRESSING ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD TODAY!
AND
THIS IS ONE DOUBLE LP WHERE YOU SHOULD NEVER EVER BUY A 'FULLY SEALED'
COPY! AND WHY IS THAT? THIS IS BECAUSE - YOU ABSOLUTELY DO NOT KNOW
WHAT YOU ARE BUYING! MOST OF THE LATER 'CHANGED TEXT' COVERS HAD THE
SAME 'CREAM' COLOUR UP UNTIL 1983 (SO WITH 70% OF 'SEALED COPIES' YOU'D BE BUYING A RE-ISSUE), AND YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO WAY OF
KNOWING IF THE MOTHER & STAMPERS ON THE RECORD ARE TRULY FROM 1979
OR NOT! SO YOU COULD SPEND A FORTUNE ON A 'FULLY SEALED' COPY - BUT
ACTUALLY BE BUYING A FAIRLY WORTHLESS 1983 RE-PRESSING WITHOUT KNOWING
IT! WHEREAS HERE - WITH MY COPY FULLY SEALED (APART FROM THE
OPENING EDGE) YOU KNOW THE COVER IS A 100% GENIUNE UK 1979 'WITHDRAWN'
EARLIEST 1ST PRESS COVER, YOU KNOW THE RECORDS ARE 100% GENIUNE 1ST
PRESS RECORDS (1 PLAY!) - AND YET YOU STILL GET THE AMAZING 'SEALED' AWESOME

REGARDING GRADINGS:- As I am listing in large amounts, I will only have time to use a simple grading. Obviously I will try to maintain my STRICT standards. These records are EXACTLY as they were found, so there may be the odd fingerprint / dust etc. However there will be NO dirty / mouldy records, and most will be PERFECTLY shiny and clean. In any case, I know that many bidders like to clean their records in their own way. I will not mention details that do not affect the grading - such as unglued seams for example, as these can simply be re-glued! Any LP which should have a Picture / Lyric inner sleeve, will have it displayed. I also will NOT mention any wear in line with the grading given - such as edgewear, rubbing, etc.
PICTURES:- Time constraints limits me to 1 picture only. BE SURE the cover back will be in the same condition / grading as the front (with NO hidden defects!), and if this is not the case - it will be mentioned!
SERIOUS DEFECTS:- Any LPs cover or inner with splits WILL BE MENTIONED - if there is nothing mentioned - the cover & inner are UNSPLIT. The same with rips / tears / sticker marks / writing - all will be mentioned. If nothing is mentioned these will NOT be present.
PACKING / POSTAGE TIME :- Usual high standards. Packed properly to avoid any impact damage (buffer zones) and taped tight. Obviously with the HUGE amount I will be listing, I will need a few days to pack & post. However, I will endeavour to despatch items out as quickly as possible (and will be taking a whole week off to do it!).
Apologies to do such short gradings / descriptions - but I have well over 1000 records to list, and these have to go quickly! Hence there will be some UNDOUBTED bargains here! GOOD LUCK IF YOU DECIDE TO BID!
