FAQ

Is this the original pressing?
No. The first edition was released in March 1973. This copy is a later UK repress with the same catalogue number SHVL 804; the exact year of pressing is not specified.

Who sings on "The Great Gig In The Sky"?
The wordless vocal improvisation is by session singer Clare Torry. After an out-of-court settlement she has been credited as co-writer alongside Richard Wright on pressings since 2005.

What does Media NM- / Cover VG mean?
Record: NM- (Near Mint minus) means close to new with at most minimal signs of use. Sleeve: VG (Very Good) means clear signs of use such as ringwear, edge wear or small creases, but the sleeve is complete and intact. All grades are explained on our Vinyl Grading page.
