I am liquidating my collection of collectible/audiophile LPs. Please check back weekly as I will be listing 3-4 items per week until it's all gone. This listing: Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon Solid Blue Triangle true 1st press UK LP Painfully rare, this is a true first pressing of PF's classic, as indicated by the solid blue triangle label. The label very quickly switched to the more familiar blue outline triangle shortly after the LP's initial release. Having heard MANY pressings as well as the SACD I can attest to this still being without question the very best pressing of DSOTM you can hear. Vinyl is EX overall. NO skips or jumps. Both posters very nice with no tears, pinholes, but some slight wear along the fold seams. Stickers equally nice.For such a rare and expensive item I provide the following listening notes, played at significant volume: Overall, side 1 plays with incredible fidelity and musicality. Through the first four tracks, played loudly, I heard intermittent soft staticky pops.There are somewhat more of these intermittent pops on the last track, "The Great Gig in the Sky" and during the last minute or so there is a rhythmic pop every revolution from a light paper scuff. Side 2 is likewise very solid. Cash register sounds on "Money" articulate and clear, no surface noise.Transition between tracks 1 & 2, intermittent light surface noise, a few very gentle pops. "Us and Them": Vocal and sax play perfectly, lots of presence and beautifully mixed reverb."Brain Damage" No issues. Tremendous 3D presence and separation of instruments."Eclipse" A quite track, some light groove noise and popping evident. Matrix: SHVL 804 A-2/SHVL 804 B-2Stamper codes—Side 1: 5 GAPSIDE 2: [illegible number] GDO Album has been play tested on a high end tubed audio system featuring Harbeth SHL-5+ speakers, PrimaLuna Dialog Premium/Manley electronics, and a VPI Classic Signature turntable fitted with a Dynavector XX-2 cart. (LP shown on turntable is not the title for sale). It has also been cleaned with the Audio Desk Systeme ultrasonic cleaner. Buyer pays shipping. Please write with any questions before bidding.
