‘The Wall’ is undoubtedly, one of the finest produced albums ever ~ check out how fantastic this superb 2LP set sounds on Japanese pressed vinyl!!
Original issue. Cover is plain wall (except for title on spine). Band members are not listed on the inside cover. It states: “Words and Music – Roger Waters. Except…” and “Produced By David Gilmour, Bob Ezrin, Roger Waters”. (Re-pressings added band member credits). No bar code anywhere.
Condition – Vinyl: NEAR MINT! AMAZING condition for a record set that is over 40 years old!
Condition – Cover: EXCELLENT! Some minor spots of foxing, mainly on inner sleeves.
Japanese vinyl pressings are highly sought after by audiophiles and collectors, due to their premium sound quality and beautifully presented packaging. The sonic quality of Japanese records is regarded as the best in the world. No wonder all the original Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab records were pressed in Japan! The covers are printed on better quality heavy stock paper too. Near Mint condition original Japanese pressings are becoming scarcer ~ and therefore more collectable and valuable every year.
The hugely successful, classic double album features the smash hit single, “Another Brick In The Wall Part 2” and many other highly memorable songs, like “Mother”, “Young Lust”, “Hey You”, “Run Like Hell”, and of course, one of the greatest guitar solos ever in “Comfortably Numb”.

AMG –
A triumph of production: its seamless surface, blending melodic fragments and sound effects... Roger Waters constructed The Wall, a narcissistic, double-album rock opera about an emotionally crippled rock star who spits on an audience member daring to cheer during an acoustic song. Given its origins, it’s little wonder that The Wall paints such an unsympathetic portrait of the rock star, cleverly named “Pink,” who blames everyone — particularly women — for his neuroses. Such lyrical and thematic shortcomings may have been forgivable if the album had a killer batch of songs, but Waters took his operatic inclinations to heart, constructing the album as a series of fragments that are held together by larger numbers like “Comfortably Numb” and “Hey You.” Generally, the fully developed songs are among the finest of Pink Floyd’s later work, but The Wall is primarily a triumph of production: its seamless surface, blending melodic fragments and sound effects, makes any shortcomings easy to ignore.
