Notes

A re-release of The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn and A Saucerful Of Secrets with a new cover. Piper At The Gates Of Dawn was released in 1967 and A Saucerful Of Secrets was released in 1968. 

This release has a picture of a gargling monk on the top-right of the front cover. This was used to replace the picture on the A Nice Pair original release featuring W. R. Phang's dental surgery (a genuine business), which was removed following objections from Dr. Phang due to dentists not being allowed to advertise.
