Curiously
on the back shrink wrap is written in Marker "new 1969" which may
meant that radio station acquired this record in 1969. It's also
possible that discogs has incorrect information but they are generally
reliable on records of this prominence.
We purchased several boxes of mostly sealed records that had been from
the KCRW library in the late sixties, early seventies. Most were sealed
and/or promo copies. All in Near Mint shape. Many of them are open
and easily verified first pressings. So, it stands to reason that these
Pink Floyd LPs are also. The last 5 photos on this listing are provided for context only, as evidence of the collection of sealed, promo and original pressings that were in the collection from 1966-1971.
*****BUYER PLEASE NOTE***** If you wish to return this item and it is opened, we will only refund
10% of the price, as the value is strictly limited to the fact that they
are sealed.
