Ok HaveACigar -
Sorry Botley, it is real alright, but I had to search all over for it. I couldn't find any information on any of the collector sites I normally hang out on. This indicates that either no one has it, or no one is really interested in having it for some reason, or no one else has heard of it either. That would be none of the collectors I know anyway.
Here is what you may have. See if the catalog numbers match up and if it is on Harvest Records, not Columbia or EMI or Billy-Bobs
Harvest Records
Dark Side of the Moon
Catalog number 5C - 062- 05249 (1C 062- 05249)
Issued on white vinyl. Cover printed in Germany. Label made in Holland
What is it worth? Whatever anyone is willing to pay for it of course. It is rare. I am unable to find an estimate on the number of pressings. Colored vinyl is not as durable as black vinyl and is sometimes more brittle so colored records were made for fun more than for function. (Vinyl is actually clear and additives are put in for durability or novelty). So, when all of us old-folks were buying albums because we treasured the artwork and the music and expected them to last forever, we usually bought black. We weren't so concerned with "collectability" and novelty as durability. (I have an entire set of colored Beatles Jukebox 45's that were unused because the jukebox owners knew they would wear out. When the market for vinyl got into collectible stuff and entire cache of these previously unwanted beauties was released.)
So, it is rare because it was a novelty item and probably not many were pressed. But because times have changed since the dinosaurs, novelty and collectibility are IN and someone might want it just to say they have it.
I'll start the bidding with an offer of 5 dollars
