Pink Floyd LPs


I just thought I'd share with you what I just picked up at a thrift store. I found a half speed "audiophile pressing" of Wish You Were Here (HC 33453) in very good condition and Dark Side of the Moon (SMAS-11163). The sleeve is nice and the record is mint. I don't think this record was out of the leeve many times as there isn't a dust particle on it. The two posters are still inside along with two Pink Floyd stickers.
These items set me back $2.00 minus 25%.
The DSOTM cover has a hole punched in the top right corner. What is the purpose of this?
ketchup
What does Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Pink Floyd have in commom

Give Up

Their last big hit was "The Wall"
It would be nice to see audiophile pressings of their whole catalog. At least the ones with Roger Waters in the band.
The Odeon Japan issue LP's are the best for pre Wish You Were Here LP's. Then CBS/Sony Japanese for WYWH through The Final Cut. Wish You were here, The Wall, and A Collection of Great Dance Songs are available in Half Speed Master series. For Dark Side of the Moon there are several Audiophile pressings. MFSL UHQR, MFSL standard pressing, EMI Centential pressing, EMI 30th anniversary pressing, Japanese Pro-Use pressing. The BEST sounding Pink Floyd solo LP is Roger Water's Amused to Death pressed in Holland. It's a 2xLP direct metal master. Not many were pressed and currently sealed copies can set you back $300 or more. I'm glad I bought mine new when it first came out.
The whole punch could mean that it was not sold and thrown out in the garbage.
I have seen 45s with holes punched in them and that was the case, they punch holes into them and throw them out.
Promos usually have "not for sale" "DJ" a white label and a gold stamped cover with "promotional use only" stamped on it.
If interested i have a very rare copy of dark side of the moon with both sides marked as side one!
