PINK FLOYD - A Nice Pair Double LP 1st UK Press 1974

Notes

Green "Harvest labels"
Matt gatefold sleeve with 2 die cut inners.

A bundling 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 version features a picture of "W. R Phang's Dental Surgery" (a genuine business) on the top right on the front cover. This version was withdrawn following objections from Dr. Phang due to dentists not being allowed to advertise. A later version came out featuring a picture of a gargling monk.

VINYLS: EX+.  I can only say this is in fantastic upgrade condition, it has probably never been played at all,  plays with no distortion, no jumps, barely played. The vinyl on all four sides looks just amazing. There is a deep glossy, just over the counter, sheen and this album has been preserved well over the decades by a dedicated metal collector inside a custom made cabinet for decades.  Please few all pictures for a true impression of this beautiful classic. I have played it on my Linn Sondek Arcam set up and it sounded gorgeous with the fullest possible audio as only a true first press ever can with barely any static at all. A true upgrade if there ever was one.


 GATEFOLD SLEEVE : VG++.  UK 1st Press matt  sleeve. Hard to find this sleeve without creases, but here it is. A fantastic sleeve with just the discoloured corner on the rear as seen in the picture.  The spine is fully legible and the opening is nice and crisp. This album also retains its original two inner sleeves which are hard to find these days. This is of course the first retracted version with the Dr. Phang picture to the front. NO seam splits, NO writing, NO tears etc.

Complete with the two printed inner sleeves.


Though there are rarely ever any problems with my items, I always try my very best to describe everything exactly!  PLEASE REMEMBER to contact me FIRST,  if you have any problems at all, before you leave feedback and star ratings, so I get a chance to turn any negative experience into a positive one!  I can always happily sort anything out for you, if you let me know you have a problem!  This way no one has to leave Negative/Neutral feedback - and we both walk away happy! Similarly with the amount of stars, anything less than a full 5 * rating is effectively detrimental to a seller's rating as lower ratings will incur higher Final Value Fees  and lower priority in the bidlists eventually making it unattractive to list items on Ebay at all. I know of at least one major previous Ebay seller who has decided not to list via Ebay again. Please do NOT bid if you cannot give me at least 1 chance to sort everything out to your FULL satisfaction in the unlikely event of a problem.  Thanks again!!

This an excellent investment opportunity!!! Any questions please ask me and I will try to answer soon.
