 Image 3205873, the front-page ad from Billboard dated February 24th 1973, actually says "Album available March 1", which was a Thursday; both March 3 and March 10 were Saturdays, and nothing was ever released on that day of the week. Billboard's cover date was always a Saturday, and Billboard's date doesn't correlate to a release date.

 Brings back memories of seeing Pink Floyd in September 1972 playing Dark Side long before the album was released. Awesome show and one of my top three.

 I have what's called a double label where on of the side's label is put on both side.

In this case, side 1 label is put on both sides.

I added the image.

 With respect to Vinyl Fan, Whassup & misa443, I have added better quality scans, including scan of shrink wrap sticker and first rim print labels previously mentioned by the W.B.

 Would anyone (besides myself) have the first two years' of pressings where in the rim print was mentioned, "U.S. Pat. No. 2,631,859"?
