Pink Floyd
A Saucerful of Secrets
SX 6258
1968 UK Columbia First Pressing
This is the very first variant of A Saucerful of Secrets in which very few pressings were released.
Track 1 side one is incorrectly written as “Let There Me More Light” which was quickly corrected to “Let There Be More Light.”
This record also has all of the track listings incorrectly credited to Magdalene Music. This was quickly corrected to having tracks 1 and 4 of side one and tracks 1 and 2 of side two correctly credited to Lupus Music Ltd.
And furthermore, David Gilmour is incorrectly written as "GILMORE" on both the record label and cover.
This record also has the original EMI inner sleeve and the very first matrix numbers!
The record cover is in excellent condition with just a bit of lamination creasing along the spine and upper part of the front cover.
The insert is also in excellent condition without any rips or tears. It does have two very minor seem splits: one on the lower left side and one on the bottom.
The vinyl itself is in outstanding condition. There are very few minor superficial marks that do not affect play at all. The record was play tested on a Rega Planar 6 and sounds absolutely outstanding. There are no skips, jumps, or pops and very little surface noise.
The matrix numbers are as follows:
Side 1
XAX 3633-1 G
Side 2
XAX 3634-1 G
According to The Pink Floyd archives, these are the very first stampers used in the pressing of this record.
This is definitely something I do not want to part with. It took many years to find this exact variation of A Saucerful of Secrets, however life threw a few curveballs at me and I have to part ways with some of my collection. Hopefully this record ends up with someone who will truly appreciate it.
This record will be shipped via USPS with shipping insurance. If you are an interested international buyer please contact me so we can work something out.
