Reviews
- Anyone see a variance in colors on sticker SMAS-11163-2? I have one that the sky is purplish & the sun is burnt orange, and another that the sky is plain blue & the sun is pale orange. Probably just an excess/lack of one of the paint colors but wanted clarification.
- This album is a masterpiece, one and only. I have been listened for so many years and I still doing it.
- I have every notable pressing of this release and I would have to rate this pressing as my number one personal favorite. The MOFI pressing is a little softer and more subtle while this pressing is louder and more dramatic, it turns things up in just the right spots. Just my opinion. If you’re looking for the right copy of this LP maybe give this one a try.
- Hi. If anyone has a VG or VG+ cover for this album that you would like to ship to me for a fair price please message me.
- I thank this album to introduce me into Pink Floyd, Progressive and Psychedelic Rock, as a hole. Happy 49th birthday dark side. Also, this pressing sound very clean and dynamic.
- This is the closest release I could find to match my runout etchings. However, mine looks like this:
Matrix / Runout (Side A, runout): SMAS-1-11163-F3
Matrix / Runout (Side B, runout): SMAS-2-11163-F4
"Wly" on both sides. Anyone have any idea what release this is? - Having the Uk's A2/B2 - A3/B3, The MFSL 1-017, EU 30th Anniversary edition + 2016 PFRLP8 EU to compare with i must say this one is a keeper. Warm and as said below crystal clear. Love it!
