What came with first DSOTM vinyl pressing?

I could have sworn I read about this on here but a search turned up sweet FA so I'll ask...

What came in the ORIGINAL UK pressing of Dark Side on vinyl?

I scored a copy of DSOTM in Exeter's record fair this weekend for £5 - and it has the blue triangles on the labels, the poster, and 2 stickers... I'm not sure if it's complete but it seems to play OK so that's sorted in itself...

Is this incomplete (has to be at that price?)?

Screw the SACD/CD hybrid reissue is all I have to say!

The first pressing of DSOTM came with 2 posters and 2 stickers, 1 gatefold sleeve and 1 record.

The very first pressing run also had a black inner sleeve (these never turn up!).

The original UK release also very rarely turns up in good shape. It can be identified because it has the words, 'The Gramophone Co. Limited' written around the label starting at the 10 o'clock position. Most copies mention 'EMI' - These are later pressings.

OH well - not quite an initial press then Frown BUT only a fiver Smile

Mine has a black with lyrics and images inner, EMI logo with copyright message where "The gramaphone co" blurb would be, but has the blue triangles. SHVL804A/10 matrix - any ideas what it might be worth then? Sounds OK to me audio-wise so that's all I really care about Smile
