Description
PINK FLOYD - PIPER AT THE GATES of DAWN - 1st PRESS UK VINYL LP - a really strong example all round!!
On mono BLUE COLUMBIA LABELS - SUPER RARE!!
-2 / -1 variant matrix
Front Cover: Laminated, flip-back sleeve design. In great condition, really solid, little creasing to laminate, nice and clean, no writing
Back Cover: The top right part of the flip-back is blank. It does NOT read "File under POPULAR : Pop Groups" ie first press. Back cover includes title, credits, and song listing. Catalogue number in upper right corner. Un-laminated rear.
Labels: Black Columbia labels with silver text, and a blue "Columbia Records Magic Notes Trademark" at the top, and a blue "Columbia" in the centre. Track 1 on Side 2, (including all writing credits), should read across one line only, as this does. (If the artist credits extend to a second line, it is the repress)
Underneath the blue "Columbia" it reads "Sold in U.K. subject to resale price conditions. See price lists."
Inner Sleeve #2: Reddish brown printing on cream coloured paper. On the front side is the EMI logo at the top centre, with "Add these outstanding LPs to your collection" at the top, 16 LP covers pictured in the middle including The Beatles-Sgt. Peppers, and "Remember-the new Emitex cleans and preserves your records," and "Patents applied for" at the bottom. On the back side is the EMI logo at the top center, with " - the greatest recording organization in the world" at the top, 16 LP covers pictured in the middle including Pink Floyd-Piper at the Gates of Dawn, and "E.M.I. Records (The Gramophone Company Ltd.) Hayes - Middlesex - England, Made and Printed in Great Britain" at the bottom.
Vinyl is lovely and shiny, just a few light marks, nothing obviously feelable.
Plays really well, occasional light crackle, no clicks, no skips
Labels are nice and clean, very little spindle wear. KT tax code stamp to side 1 label. Inner in fantastic condition.
The sleeve is solid. Spine fully readable 'The Pink Floyd'.
As always the photos give an honest representation of the whole; please use them as part of the description.
Lots of great first press including more Floyd, Led Zep, Stones, Beatles in my other items.
