Description
HERE is a very first UK pressing of probably the most famous of all the sixties psychedelic albums - The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn by Pink Floyd. This is a lovely mono copy on the first press blue and black Columbia label complete with the elusive very first press Ernest J Day front-laminated flipback sleeve without the 'File Under Pop Groups' text to be found on most pressings. Both record labels (with KT tax code and 'Sold in UK...' text) are in great condition with no unwanted writing, no stickers and no tears. The disc is in comfortable VG condition with only a few light surface/hairline marks to be seen when examined under strong halogen lighting. The machine-stamped matrices are correct first press XAX 3419-2 and XAX 3420-1 and the early mother stampers are 1 - H /1 - L. The front-laminated flipback sleeve is in strong VG+ condition with just a little light creasing here and there This iconic piece of psychedelic history is part of a fabulous Pink Floyd collection I am offering - please check out my other items. Good luck if you are bidding. I post valuable records tracked and signed for, very carefully packaged to ensure they reach you as they leave me, with the records outside of the sleeve and in spare inners if necessary to protect any originals from knifing.
