PINK FLOYD
THE PIPER AT THE GATES OF DAWN 
MONO
Pressed on 153gms of original 1967 vinyl !!!!  
THIS IS AN ORIGINAL FULLY COMPLETE 1967 UK 1ST EDITION VINYL WITH UNBELIEVABLE NEAR MINT AUDIO !!!!
BEFORE WE GET TO THE DESCRIPTION, THERE ARE A FEW THINGS THAT ARE IMPORTANT.
THE VERY 1ST VINYLS OFF THE PRESS WERE, XAX 3419-2  G1 : XAX 3420-1  G1 . THE ONE LISTED BELOW IS, XAX 3419-2  GG 1 : XAX 3420-1  GG 1, SO IT IS THE 23RD OFF THE PRESS, SO STILL CLASSED AS A 1ST EDITION VINYL. THE EARLIEST OFF THE PRESS HAD A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT FONT TEXT ON THE LABELS, TO THE LATER 1ST EDITION PRESSES. ALSO THE VERY EARLIEST COVERS WERE DARK GREY ON THE BACK, AND HAD NO 'File under POPULAR :: Pop Groups' IN TOP RIGHT CORNER ON THE BACK . LATER FIRST EDITIONS WERE ALSO DARK GREY, AND DID HAVE 'File under POPULAR :: Pop Groups' PRINTED IN THE CORNER.
SO THIS IS STILL A 1ST EDITION AND MORE WILL BE EXPLAINED BELOW, THANK YOU.

WELL HERE IT IS, AND IT HAS TAKEN ME A LONG TIME TO DECIDE TO KEEP IT OR PUT IT UP FOR AUCTION, SO I HAVE DECIDED TO SELL, SO HERE IS A VERY RARE OPOTUNITY TO GET YOUR HANDS ON THIS ICONIC ALBUM, AND THE HIGHLY COLLECTABLE 1ST EDITION MONO PRESS FULLY COMPLETE WITH EVERYTHING ORIGINAL, SO I KNOW THAT I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO REPLACE IT, AS IN THIS CONDITION, THEY VERY RARELY TURN UP, AND IT IS IN AMAZING ALL ROUND CONDITION. THIS WILL BE A HUGE AND VERY SAD LOSS FROM MY TREASURED PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION, THANK YOU.
DISCLAIMER :: ALL MY LP'S LISTED ON THIS SITE ARE ORIGINAL AND NOT FAKE OR COUNTERFEIT, AND ARE SOLD IN GOOD FAITH. THEY WERE BOUGHT ON THE DATE OF ISSUE. THANK YOU !!

THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1967 MONO UK 1ST EDITION PRESS  ::  XAX 3419-2  GG 1  ::  XAX 3420-1  GG 1  .

YOU CAN GO ON 'PINK FLOYD UK LP DISOGRAPHY' AND SEE FOR YOURSELF !!!!

ON THE BLUE AND BLACK COLUMBIA LABEL :: SX 6157  .
'SOLD IN THE UK SUBJCT TO RESALE' TEXT .
'THE GRAMOPHONE CO LTD' RIM TEXT'
BASICALLY THE SAME AS THE VERY EARLIEST 1ST EDITIONS, BUT WITH A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT FONT TEXT ON THE LABELS !!!!
COVER ::  ORIGINAL MONO FRONT LAMINATED FLIPBACK, '6709 TPS  Printed and made by Ernest J. Day & Co. Ltd,. London  SX 6157 / SCX 6157, PRINTED IN BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER, WITH JUST, 'THE PINK FLOYD' PRINTED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SPINE. THIS IS ONE OF THE EARLIEST, WITH THE DARK GREY BACK, BUT UNLIKE THE VERY RARE EARLIEST 1ST EDITION COVERS, THIS DOES HAVE, 'File under POPULAR :: Pop Groups', PRINTED IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER. THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST COVERS I HAVE SEEN, AND JUST A FEW SMALL LAMINATE CREASE LINES AROUND THE EDGES, AND A LONGER ONE IN THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER. SUPERB LAMINATE, WITH NO RUB OR WEAR TO THE SPINE OR EDGES, AND THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP. THERE IS NOTHING ELSE, AND I WOULD GRADE A VERY NICE CLEAN SOLID ORIGINAL MONO  :: EX .  
VINYL ::  PLAYS REALLY UNBELIEVABLE, AND I KNOW I WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO REPLACE IT, UNLESSS I FOUND A MINT ONE, WHICH IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN !!!! IT PLAYS CRYSTAL CLEAR, AND AS IT IS A 1ST EDITION, THE SOUND IS SUPERB. LITERALLY JUST TWO FAINT TICKS IN THE RUN OFFS ON SIDE 1, AND NOTHING ELSE. REALLY UNLESS YOU HAVE A MINT ORIGINAL, YOU WILL NOT FIND BETTER AUDIO FOR THIS ALBUM !!!! VISUALLY AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS FINE WITH STILL A LOVELY SHINE. WHEN HELD UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT THERE ARE A FEW COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, AND A SMALL COSMETIC SCUFF LINE IN THE RUN OFFS ON SIDE 1. ON SIDE 2 THERE IS A LONG COSMETIC HAIRLINE, TWO SMALL COSMETIC THIN SCUFF LINES ON THE LAST TRACK AND INTO THE RUN OFFS, AND A COSMETIC THIN GHOST SCUFF LINE ACROSS SIDE 2. I CAN ASSURE YOU THEY ARE TOTALY COSMETIC AND DISAPPEAR WHEN ANGLED AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT, SO JUST HAVE A VISUAL AFFECT UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT AND NO WAY AN AUDIO AFFECT, SO WITH NO CLICKS, TICKS, POPS, STATIC OR CRACKLE ON THE AUDIO I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO   :: EX+/NEAR MINT .   BUT AS THOSE TWO FAINT TICKS ARE IN THE RUN OFFS AND NOT ON THE ACTUAL AUDIO, THE AUDIO HAS TO BE SO MUCH NEARER TO NEAR MINT, AND AS YOU WILL FIND OUT, NO WAY OVER GRADED !!!!

LABELS :: IN LOVELY CLEAN CONDITION, WITH 'KT' STAMP ON LABEL 1, LITERALLY JUST A COUPLE OF TINY SPINDLE LINES SEEN ONLY WHEN ANGLED UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT :: EX/EX+ .
ORIGINAL INNER :: WITH SPLAYED CORNERS, AND DIE CUT OPENING EDGE, AND FLIPBACKS, WITH, 'PATENTS APPLIED FOR', AND 'E.M.I RECORDS (The Gramophone Company Ltd) PRINTED ALONG THE BOTTOM. NO WRITING, OR SEAM SPLITS :: EX/EX- .
AS I AM LIMITED TO ONLY 10 PHOTOS, IF YOU NEED ANY MORE, PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU WANT AND I WILL HAPPILY SEND YOU SOME OF THE ONES YOU WANT, THANK YOU !!!!

I MUST ADMIT TO FIND A MUCH LATER PRESSING WITH NICE AUDIO IS REALLY DIFFIULT, AS THERE ARE SO MANY QUIET PARTS, BUT TO FIND AN ORIGINAL UK 1ST EDITION WITH BRILLIANT CLEAR AUDIO, NEAR IMPOSSIBLE, SO THIS IS ONE THAT HAS SURVIVED AND THAT IS WAY IT PLAYS OUTSTANDING WITH CRYSTAL CLEAR CLARITY, AND UNLESS YOU HAVE A MINT ONE, THEN IT WILL BE NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO BETTER !!!! IT COMES FULLY COMPLETE WITH THE CORRECT COVER AND INNER. I DOUBT IF ANOTHER ONE IN THIS CONDITION WILL EVER TURN UP AGAIN. THE ONLY THING OF NOTE IS THE COSMETICS ON THE VINYL, BUT THEY ARE TOTALLY HARMLESS AND HAVE NO AFFECT ON THE NEAR MINT AUDIO, SO ONE ICONIC ALBUM NOT TO MISS !!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME !!!!  ROSE. IF SLEEVE REMOVAL AND HAIRLINES ARE MENTIONED, THEN THEY ARE TOTALLY COSMETIC AND HARMLESS, AND THESE ARE NOT SCRATCHES, AS YOU WILL KNOW SCRATCHES ARE FEELABLE AND CAUSE AUDIO PROBLEMS, SO IF THERE WERE ANY SCRATCHES, I WOULD MENTION THEM, THANK YOU !
