Tracklisting & More Information

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. 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 one of the early versions a noticable slight green tinge, but is actually open on the front & back. The inner left logo text is in blue.

This copy shows just a little light general shelfwear with a bit of edge scuffing & a small amount of creasing at the opening 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 are not present and probably adorned some wall or other in the early seventies. However, these are not crucial components and can actually be replaced fairly easily and cheaply as the second issue sleeve & accessories are identical.

This example has no skipping error during Money.
The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality, with only a couple of very light cosmetic scuffs visible.

Overall an excellent example of this now very sought after pressing. These do not come up for sale very often.
