Description
Just recently I bought a massive collection of 60's and 70's LPs...some are in surprisingly immaculate condition, and some are not, but the original owner (a well-respected Australian vinyl hoarder) was a fastidious collector of the styles he loved - British invasion well-knowns [Beatles/Hollies/Dave Clark 5/Gerry & The Pacemakers/Zombies/Troggs/etc..], 70's West Coast sounds, pop-psych and he'd obviously forraged far and wide since there's a flurry of unique South American, New Zealand, South African, Japanese releases amongst them all
Here then, is one of the LPs from his collection:
ARTIST: PINK FLOYD -
TITLE: "A SAUCERFUL OF SECRETS" .
FORMAT: …vinyl LP…
LABEL: TOWER .
CATALOGUE #: ST-5131 .
DATE OF RELEASE: 1968 .
PRESSED IN: USA .
ORIGINAL FIRST PRESSING?: No... it's the 4th pressing...here below is the ramble from a Pink Floyd site purporting to know all pressing details of their Tower label releases...all details described below are EXACTLY correct for this LP:
Title: A Saucerful of Secrets (Tower Records - 4th issue)
Record Company: Tower Records
Catalog Number: ST 5131

Release Information: Fourth issue with new text across the bottom edge of the label. David Gilmour's name is misspelled "Gilmore" on both the cover credits and on the label.
Description:
Front Cover: Hipgnosis cover with "pink floyd" across the top. In the upper right corner is the catalog number. At the top right underneath "pink floyd" it says "Playable On STEREO & Mono Phonographs." In the bottom right corner is the Tower Records logo and above it the catalogue number.
Back Cover: Song titles on band pic. Band name as one word in lower case. Catalog number. Tower logo.
Back Cover Number: Found with none, or a 6. (This has none.)
Spine: Band name. Catalog number.
Labels: Brown Tower label with song titles in a large bold font.
To the left of the spindle hole is the Tower Records logo with the word "tower" written across the top of the T in white.
Above the spindle hole it says "A Saucerful of Secrets" and "Pink Floyd."
To the right of the spindle hole it says:
STEREO
ST-5131
The words STEREO and ST-5131 are in a large bold type size. There is a large 1, indicating the side number, to the right of the catalog and matrix numbers in a larger size than STEREO. On some issues, the words STEREO and ST-5131 are separated by a space.
On Side 1, the song title, credits, and timing for the song, Let There Be More Light, is above the spindle hole, while the rest of the song titles are grouped together under the spindle hole. On Side 2, all the song titles are underneath the spindle hole. To the right of the song title is the song timing. Underneath the song titles are the writing credit, and Essex Music, Inc. (ASCAP). Beneath the song listings it says "Produced by: Norman Smith" and "Recorded in England."
Text around the bottom edge of the label says:
Manufactured in the U.S.A. by Capitol Records, Inc.
CONDITION:
COVER: ( VG++)...has scuffing in the corners and on spine and opening edge (front)...small seam split at bottom centre...an original gluing crinkle at right centre...back cover has tape stains along the very top and small tear there too (just on the white border only)...plus some light creasing in the top right and bottom left corners...otherwise very nice indeed...see pix...
RECORD: ( EX)...the vinyl honestly looks like it has BARELY BEEN PLAYED...there is only one light spindle mark on each label and a mere four very light scuffs/marks on the vinyl (in total!)...I'm very tempted to grade it M- because it plays that way...but you will LOVE how stunning it is...shiny as can be!...
LABELS: (Side One: MINT / Side Two: MINT )...
If you have any concerns about the accuracy of my gradings, please check my feedback for the odd nice comment from some satisfied folk out there.... (and hopefully you may be able to join their ranks).Thanks for considering this item...Cheers, Jules.
