 THE PIPER AT THE GATES OF DAWN
STEREO
ORIGINAL 1969 EARLY 3rd ISSUE WITH SUPERB AUDIO !!
BEFORE YOU READ ON I WOULD LIKE TO EXPLAIN, HOW THIS IS AN EARLY 3rd 1969 ISSUE !!!!
THERE WERE 6 ISSUES ON THE COLUMBIA LABEL .
THE EARLIEST 1ST ISSUE FROM 1967, IS ON THE BLACK AND BLUE COLUMBIA LABEL, AND THE ONE LISTED BELOW IS ON THE BLACK AND SILVER COLUMBIA LABEL, WITH LARGE BOXED COLUMBIA, AND SMALL BOXED EMI.
THE 2nd ISSUE WAS RELEASED IN 1969 ALSO ON THE BLACK AND SILVER COLUMBIA LABEL, WITH LARGE BOXED COLUMBIA, AND SMALL BOXED EMI, BUT HAD 'MADE IN GT BRITAIN, SOLD IN THE UK SUBJECT TO RESALE', LABEL TEXT ALONG THE BOTTOM OF THE LABELS.
THE ONE LISTED BELOW IS A 3rd ISSUE, HAS THE SAME LABEL AS THE 2nd ISSUE, ALSO RELEASED IN 1969, BUT DOES NOT HAVE 'MADE IN GT BRITAIN, SOLD IN THE UK SUBJECT TO RESALE', LABEL TEXT ALONG THE BOTTOM OF THE LABELS, BUT INSTEAD JUST, 'MADE IN GT BRITAIN'. ALSO THE EMI BOX IS THIN, AND EVENLY SPACED OUT, BETWEEN, 'THE PINK FLOYD' TEXT, AND 'MADE IN GT BRITAIN'.
THE 4th ISSUES HAS A WIDER EMI BOX, AND HAS NO SPACE BETWEEN, 'MADE IN GT BRITAIN'.
THE 5th ISSUE HAS TWO EMI BOXES.
THE 6th ISSUE HAS TANNED COLOURED LABELS. 
THIS IS A GENUINE UK 3rd ISSUE !!!!  
NO INTRODUCTIONS NEEDED, AS I THINK YOU KNOW THEIR HISTORY !!!! THIS IS A VERY DIFFICULT LP TO FIND, AS IT IS AN ORIGINAL 3rd ISSUE 1969 UK PRESS, WITH SUPERB AUDIO, BEAUTIFUL COVER, AND INNER !!!! THIS IS THEIR 1ST AND BRILLIANT DEBUT ALBUM, ORIGINALLY RELEASED IN 1967, AND COMES FROM MY TREASURED PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION !!!!
