PINK FLOYD DEBUT LP: The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn- 1st U.S. Edition Tower VG+

Description

From Wikipedia,  here is some brief introductory information about Pink Floyd's Debut Album,  regarded as one of the most influential in the development of Psychedelic Rock:
 

"The Piper at the Gates of Dawn is the debut studio album by the English rock band Pink Floyd, and the only one made under founding member Syd Barrett's leadership. The album, named after the title of chapter seven of Kenneth Grahame's The Wind in the Willows and featuring a kaleidoscopic cover photo of the band taken by Vic Singh, was recorded from February to May 1967 and released on 5 August 1967. It was produced by Beatles engineer Norman Smith and released in 1967 by EMI Columbia in the United Kingdom and Tower in the United States, in August and October respectively.

The release of the album in the US was timed with the band's tour of the US. In the UK, no singles were released from the album, but in the US "Flaming" was offered as a single. The US version of the album has a rearranged track list, and contains the UK non-album single, "See Emily Play". Two of the album's songs, "Astronomy Domine" and "Interstellar Overdrive", became long-term mainstays of the band's live set list, while other songs were performed live only a handful of times.

Since its release, the album has been hailed as one of the best psychedelic rock albums. In 1973, it was packaged with the band's second album, A Saucerful of Secrets, and released as A Nice Pair to introduce new fans to the band's early work after the success of The Dark Side of the Moon. Special limited editions of The Piper at the Gates of Dawn were issued to mark its thirtieth and fortieth anniversaries in 1997 and 2007, respectively, with the latter release containing bonus tracks. In 2012, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn was voted 347th on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time"."

Pink Floyd ?– The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn

THE VINYL -  VG+ :  The LP surfaces retain much of their original gloss, with some spindlewear evident on the bright Orange and Black Tower labels (the side 2 label has a name faintly written- please see photo).  
 
The level of gloss indicates little playtime, however present on both sides are some light marks and, while shallow, a few are somewhat long. Some of those marks produce a light clicks as the needle passes over them.

There are no deep marks and no skips or sticking.

The  stereo audio quality is strong and clear.



THE COVER -   VG :  Partial ringwear to the front cover with moderate scuffing / there is a name written in ink on the front (right corner) and back (top left- please see photo) / all of the seams, including the spine, are intact with some fraying / no paper tears, paper loss, stains or other writing.


We have placed both the cover and the LP into separate, protective plastic sleeves.
