This release is unique because:
- The Garrod gatefold sleeve has a black round "Pink Floyd The Dark Side Of The Moon" sticker, blue EMI Harvest logos inside (white on later issues), with the Garrod printing date-code 7303.
- On the back top right corner (1E 064 o 05249) is centered between SHVL 804 and "stereo" (later issues have it left aligned).
- Each label has "Made in Gt Britain" printed twice, below the triangle and in the rim text (later issues do not have "Made in Gt Britain" below the triangle).
- The labels credit "The Gramophone Company Ltd" below "Side 1" & "Side 2", yet credit "EMI Records Ltd" in the rim text (earlier issues credit "The Gramophone Company Ltd" in the rim text).
Comes with two A2-sized posters and two stickers.
Exists a similar release
this version, with slightly different inside gatefold colours: on bottom left corner, EMI Harvest logos and all the text info around them are white instead of blue.
Note: The 3rd pressing should have any variation of A2/B2 A3/B3 A3/B2 or A2/B3 stampers in the run-out and "EMI Records Ltd" in the rim text. Variations with greater numbers than 2 or 3 in either of the stampers indicate a 4th pressing or later.
