Tracklisting / Additional Info: Pressing Information

From the Pink Floyd Archives.

Pressings that use A-2 / B-2 lacquers have minor sound quality issues, particularly during the song, Money. Some copies also have a skip pressed into the grooves during the song Money. Such issues were corrected with the A-3 / B-3 cuttings, with the exception of the peak level distortion during the clocks at the beginning of the song Time (the MFSL UHQR LP is the only vinyl pressing without such distortion).
Copies of the Dark Side of the Moon LP with solid blue triangle labels without any stamper or mother numbers in the matrix are not U.K. releases (they are likely from Denmark). All U.K. EMI releases will have some sort of stamping code in the matrix.

Condition

The sleeve as mentioned above is the early version with just the back section of the gatefold open. These sleeves have a noticable slight green tinge, even has the circular sticker attached to the front. The inner left logo text is in blue.

This copy shows some light general shelfwear with a bit of edge scuffing and remains in very acceptable condition.
The inner is the correct black poly lined variety that appeared on both the first & second issues.

The stickers & posters both display little wear & signs of age, but they are complete and intact. Like the sleeve, these are not crucial components and can actually be replaced fairly easily and cheaply as the second issue sleeve & accessories are identical.

The vinyl has obviously been played but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, with only a little light noticable surface scuffs & hairlines visible. We have professionally cleaned & play tested both sides.

As noted above, this example has the well known pressing fault during the song Money where it skips a couple of times, otherwise we can confirm that apart from a few light background pops and clicks, this plays fine and still sounds really nice.

Overall a very good example of this now very sought after pressing. These do not come up for sale very often, and this copy is available at a very advantageous price.
