Description
Superb original True 1st Stereo Press Floyd from 1968. These are getting harder and harder to come by in this condition.
Really enjoy the cover artwork from this album. This is the rare misprint with David Gilmour's name misspelled as "Gilmore" on cover and label.
A Saucerful of Secrets is the birth of the Gilmour era -- and the music reflects this artistic disparity. Several tracks (the chiming, Wright-penned "Remember the Day," the kaleidoscopic Barrett swan song "Jugband Blues") fall in line with the highly British psychedelia of Piper; meanwhile, the extended, textural epics ("Let There Be More Light," the droning "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun") point toward the more progressive style explored on Pink Floyd's classic '70s albums.
