ORIGINAL 1968 UK 1ST PRESS, YAX 3633-1 / YAX 3634-1, AND PRESSED OFF THE FIRST MOTHER WITH VERY EARLY STAMPERS, 1 R / 1 A !!!!
THERE ARE THREE VARIATIONS ON THE 1ST PRESS, BLACK AND BLUE COLUMBIA LABELS, AND THE ONE LISTED BELOW HAS THE 2nd LABEL, AS IT HAS, 'LUPUS MUSIC Ltd' ON ONE LINE !!!!
NO INTRODUCTIONS NEEDED, AS I THINK YOU KNOW THEIR HISTORY !!!! THIS IS THEIR AMAZING 2nd ALBUM RELEASED ON 28th JUNE 1968, AND ONE OF THE BEST EVER ALBUMS EVER PRODUCED, AND IT COMES FROM MY TREASURED PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION !!!!
AN INTERESTING FACT IS THAT SYD BARRETT STARTED ON THE ALBUM, BUT NEVER  COMPLETED IT, DUE TO ILL HEALTH, SO DAVID GILMOUR WAS RECRUITED, AND THE REST IS ROCK HISTORY !!!!
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 1968 UK 1ST PRESS :: YAX 3633-1  ::  YEX 3634-1 .
PRESSED OFF THE FIRST MOTHER WITH VERY EARLY STAMPERS  ::  1  R  ::  1   A .
ON THE BLACK AND BLUE COLUMBIA LABEL :: SCX 6258 .
COVER ::  ORIGINAL UK FIRST PRESS, FRONT LAMINATED FLIPBACK, PRINTED AND MADE BY GARROD & LOFTHOUSE Ltd, PATENTS PENDING, AND 'FILE UNDER POPULAR' TOP RIGHT CORNER ON THE BACK. SOLID SPINE AND EDGES WITH THREE TINY MARKS ON THE SPINE EDGE, AND A RUB IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BOTTOM EDGE, AS SEEN IN THE PHOTOS, AND THE OPENING EDGE JUST A BIT OF VERY LIGHT FEATHERING, AND HONESTLY NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. THERE IS A ROUNDED RUB ON THE CORNERS, NO LAMINATE LIFT, WITH SOME LAMINATE CREASE LINES AROUND THE EDGES. THE BACK HAS SOME LIGHT MARKS TOP LEFT CORNER, AND A THIN SCUFF LINE, AGAIN NOTHING SERIOUS, AS SEEN IN THE PHOTOS, AND WITH NOTHING ELSE, I WOULD GRADE  :: VG/VG+ .
VINYL ::  NOW THE GREAT NEWS IS, IT PLAYS WITH NO STATIC, CRACKLE, SKIPS, STICKS, JUMPS, POPS OR CLICKS, AND JUST A COUPLE OF NON INTRUSIVE FAINT TICKS, WHICH I WILL EXPLAIN IN THE AUDIO DESCRIPTION BELOW ...... ON SIDE 1 :: BEAUTIFUL CLEAR AUDIO, JUST ONE SINGLE VERY FAINT TICK IN THE MIDDLE OF TRACK 1 . ON SIDE 2 :: BEAUTIFUL CLEAR AUDIO, AND ON TRACK 1, FOUR VERY FAINT TICKS AFTER THE START ON THE QUIET INTRO, TWO FAINT TICKS A LITTLE FURTHER ON, THREE FAINT TICKS IN THE MIDDLE, FOUR FAINT TICKS TOWARDS THE END AND TWO FAINT TICKS A LITTLE FURTHER ON, AND A FAINT TICK BETWEEN TRACK 1 AND TRACK 2. TRACK 2 PLAYS FINE, AND JUST TWO FAINT TICKS IN THE MIDDLE OF TRACK 3, AND AS MENTIONED THERE IS NOTHING INTRUSIVE, SO NOTHING TO SPOIL YOUR LISTENING ENJOYMENT. . VISUALLY, AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS VERY NICE, AND ONLY UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT ARE THERE A FEW FAINT COSMETIC SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, AND A FEW COSMETIC SMALL HAIRLINES. ON SIDE 2, THERE IS A THIN TOTALLY HARMLESS COSMETIC SCUFF LINE ON TRACK 1 AND TRACK 2, AND A COUPLE OF TINY COSMETIC MARKS AT THE END OF TRACK 1. DUE TO A BIT MORE GOING ON WITH TRACK 1 ON SIDE 2, I WILL SPLIT THE AUDIO GRADE, SO...
SIDE 1 AND TRACK 2 AND TRACK 3, ON SIDE 2, I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO  :: EX/EX+ . BUT NEARER TO EX+ !!!!
SIDE 2  TRACK 1, I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO  :: VG+/EX- . 
  
LABELS :: IN LOVELY CLEAN CONDITION, WITH SOME FAINT SPINDLE LINES AT THE CENTRE :: EX . 
EMI INNER :: WITH NO SPLITS, BUT IT DOES HAVE THE TRACK LIST AND TIMES OF, 'PIPERS AT THE GATES OF DAWN' ON ONE SIDE. SO I WOULD IMAGINE I GOT THE INNERS MUDDLED UP IN THE PAST AT SOMETIME OR OTHER. HOPEFULLY I WILL FIND THE CORRECT ONE BEFORE THE AUCTION ENDS !!!! :: VG+/EX- .
SUPERB ALBUM AND I THINK IN THEIR TOP THREE BEST ALBUMS, AND IT IS VERY HARD TO FIND THIS ALBUM WITH AUDIO LIKE THIS ONE HAS, DUE TO THE QUIET SECTIONS, SO THIS CERTAINLY WILL NOT DISAPPOINT !!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME !!!!  ROSE.
