rif. 92418Routinely acclaimed as one of the greatest rock albums ever produced Pink Floyd's "The Wall" is a brilliantly conceived musical exploration of alienation and isolation. This particular album has been beautifully and boldly signed by Roger Waters and professionally authenticated by Beckett Authentication Services; their ironclad COA accompanies your album and their licensed certification sticker appears at the lower corner of the rear face. The album is complete with both vinyls and liner notes. Condition is downright superb for a 46 year old album with mild blemishes around the exterior please examine photos. Please also note that this is one of the clearest boldest and finest Roger Waters autographs you will ever see. Simply a treasure for any rock fan. Columbia Records
