Cover in VG- condition.
Back of cover: The top right part of the flip-back is blank. It does NOT read "File under POPULAR : Pop Groups"
Side1: EX- (Very brief and very light touch of background on first track during lull in the music.)
Side 2: VG (Some light ticks at the beginning or "The Scarecrow" and at the end of "Bike".)
The title of Pink Floyd’s debut album is taken from a chapter in Syd Barrett’s favorite children's book, The Wind in the Willows, and the lyrical imagery of the Piper at the Gates of Dawn is indeed full of colorful, childlike, distinctly British whimsy, albeit filtered through the perceptive lens of LSD. Barrett’s catchy, melodic acid pop songs are balanced with longer, more experimental pieces showcasing the group's instrumental freak-outs, often using themes of space travel as metaphors for hallucinogenic experiences. The Piper at the Gates of Dawn successfully captures both sides of psychedelic experimentation -- the pleasures of expanding one's mind and perception, and an underlying threat of mental disorder and even lunacy; this duality makes Piper all the more compelling in light of Barrett’s subsequent breakdown, and ranks it as one of the best psychedelic albums of all time.
Grading: Cover/Vinyl (double LPs cover/vinyl/vinyl etc.)
NM: Both cover and record are like new
EX: Some slight wear to cover (As described in some detail in the listing). At least a couple of visual marks on the vinyl but light in nature. Record should play well.
VG+: The cover may have minor seam splits, ring wear, cover wear, small sticker tears etc. On the vinyl there may be visual marks (e.g. light scuffs, hairline scratches). There may be some intermittent, light background noise.
VG: More wear on cover and more wear on record (multiple marks). May be some repetitive light ticks or occasional pops but record will play without skipping or sticking.
VG-: The cover will have seam splits (possibly taped repaired, but only with scotch tape. No duct tape or masking tape repairs. May have some magic-marker writing. The record may have some deeper audible scratches. There will be some clicks and pops, more consistently than that of a VG record but record will play without skipping/sticking.
G: In essence, the cover will look pretty much trashed. The record will have heavy wear, deep scratches and very apparent surface noise, clicks or pops.
Note: LPs are graded visually and conservatively under bright lights. Those with questionable marks are play graded
