Pink Floyd – Meddle (Original US Pressing, Capitol SMAS-832, First Stamper)

An original US pressing of Pink Floyd's 1971 album Meddle, released on Capitol Records (SMAS-832). This copy features the Side 1 matrix SMAS-1-832 G33#1 — a first stamper (#1) from the G33 lacquer cut, indicating an early pressing from the original production run at Capitol.

Meddle is a pivotal album in Pink Floyd's evolution — the bridge between their psychedelic early work and the monumental Dark Side of the Moon. Side two is dominated entirely by the breathtaking 23-minute suite "Echoes," a piece that unfolds like a journey through deep space and ocean depths, building to one of the most cathartic climaxes in all of rock music. The record itself is in exceptional near mint condition, making this a superb listening copy despite the sleeve wear.
