THE HOLY GRAIL OF PINK FLOYD VINYL

After nearly 40 years since it's release and nearly 40 years of collecting Floyd memorabilia & music I have finally come across an original copy of the LP which regularly fetch several hundred pounds (listed as £500 mint in Record Collector) Ok this copy of the vinyl is probably only graded as fair and the cover way beyond any grading, and no posters or stickers......but hey that's not the point! It is a rock masterpiece and I have another piece of Floyd history..................so here it is HARVEST SHVL 804 (Matrix A2/B2) solid prism DSOTM




Another piece of my vinyl collection I cherish is an original copy of Black Sabbath self titled LP
on the much sought after original Vertigo Swirl label with Vertigo swirl inner cover. Again it has been well used down the years and has a number of surface marks. But after watching the reunion gig from Birmingham on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImNsBUHACZE I just had to get it out and play it again! the gig at the O2 looked and sounded great (even if Ozzy is way beyond his best) but musically it still really rocks and Tony and Geezer were in fine form (see link above)
So here is my copy of the album VERTIGO - VO 6
