The outer sleeve I would grade as to Very Good/Excellent as it dose show light signs of ageing but is still completely intact all round, with just a small ammount of creasing to the laminated front, the original inner sleeve is almost spotless showing 32 other albums available this includes albums like Both Sides of Herman Hermits and the Beatles Revolver album.
The two sides of the vinyl still retain there beautiful sheen and show very little signs of play,
Just very very slight spindle marking and just slight marks from removal from the inner sleeve and nothing more than this.
The play grade is excellent with just slight hint of static between track this dose not in any way spoil the listening pleasure of this great album.
The jungle type beat of Pow R Torch to the comical lyrics of The Gnome and the deep psychedelic sound of Interstelellar Overdrive.
This is by far one of the all time greats albums of the sixties, by what I feel is the greatest band ever.
All record labels look fantastic and are clean, crisp and are without damage like cracking, writing, or fading.
I have no problem grading this complete, original package as very good/excellent.
I have been informed on occasions that my albums have been better than described by some buyers.
Please see my feedback.

The Piper at the Gates of Dawn is Pink Floyd's debut album and the only one made under Syd Barrett's leadership, although he made some contributions to the follow-up, A Saucerful of Secrets. It has been regarded as one of the most influential LPs ever made, being a tremendous influence on the psychedelic rock scene of the time, and much of what followed. The album has whimsical lyrics about space, scarecrows, gnomes, bicycles and fairytales, along with psychedelic instrumental passages. The album was recorded at Abbey Road Studios at the same time The Beatles were recording Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
The LP (with a monaural mix) was released on August 5, 1967, and one month later it was released in stereophonic mix. It reached #6 on the UK charts, and its US version (entitled simply Pink Floyd and featuring a re-arranged and abbreviated tracklisting) reached #131 on the US charts. "See Emily Play" substituted "Astronomy Domine", "Flaming" and "Bike" on the original US vinyl issue. The stereo mix of the album was first released on CD in 1987, and re-released as a digitally re-mastered CD in 1994 and then in June of 1995 in the US. Three years later, EMI released a re-mastered, limited-run mono mix version in a hefty digipak with 3-D box art for continental Europe and the world outside America.
The album's title comes from the title of the seventh chapter of Kenneth Grahame's The Wind in the Willows, where Water Rat and Mole, while searching for a lost animal, have a spiritual experience. "This is the place of my song-dream, the place the music played to me," whispered the Rat, as if in a trance. "Here, in this holy place, here if anywhere, surely we shall find Him!". The Piper referred to is the Greek god Pan. Vic Singh photographed and designed the album cover, unlike subsequent Pink Floyd albums.
In 2000 Q magazine placed The Piper at the Gates of Dawn at number 55 in its list of the 100 Greatest British Albums Ever.
