Description

On offer here is a VERY rare LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by Pink Floyd called "A Saucerful Of Secrets" and is an ORIGINAL 1968 UK Pressing on the ORIGINAL Columbia label!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!! THIS IS ONE OF PINK FLOYD'S RAREST LPs EVER - AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE (ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONDITION!)!!!! JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE!!!! BACK IN 1968 WHEN THIS LP WAS FIRST RELEASED - IT ONLY EVER SOLD IN ABSOLUTELY TINY AMOUNTS, AND WAS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY DELETED!!!! AS A RESULT IT IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND INCREDIBLY HARD TO LOCATE TODAY!!!! BUT WHAT MAKES THIS LP EVEN RARER STILL - IS THAT IT IS ONE OF THE 'EARLIEST' 2ND PRESSINGS EVER MADE!!!! AND THIS IS SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ON THIS LP!!!! THIS ULTRA RARE 2ND PRESSING IS NOW QUITE RIGHTLY BEING CONSIDERED AS RARE AS ANY 1ST PRESSING - AND INDEED IN TERMS OF SALES, IT IS PROBABLY EVEN RARER (AS IT SOLD FAR LESS!)!!!! AND THIS ULTRA RARE 'EARLIEST' 2ND PRESSING IS MADE EVEN MORE DESIRABLE - AS IT STILL COMES WITH AN ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS 'GARROD & LOFTHOUSE' FLIPBACK LAMINATED 'PATENTS PENDING' COVER (LATER ONES DONT!) WHICH IS IN AMAZING CONDITION!!!! AND COUPLED WITH THE FACT THAT THIS INCREDIBLY EARLY 2ND PRESSING IS PRESSED ON EXTREMELY THICK 1960s QUALITY VINYL, AND HAS 1ST PRESS 1/1 STEREO MATRIXES (PLAYING THE 1ST PRESS MIX!) - IT MAKES THIS LP VERY VERY RARE INDEED!!!!

NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS LP IS MADE EVEN RARER STILL - AS IT IS AN ULTRA RARE 'FACTORY SAMPLE' 1ST PRESSING!!!! AND THIS IS SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ON THIS LP!!!! 'FACTORY SAMPLE' PRESSINGS WERE ONLY EVER PRESSED IN ABSOLUTELY TINY AMOUNTS (NO MORE THAN A HUNDRED COPIES AT THE VERY MOST!), AND WERE ONLY EVER USED FOR 'IN-HOUSE' USE BY EMI / COLUMBIA THEMSELVES (FOR PROMOTIONAL PURPOSES), OR VERY OCCASSIONALLY ONE WAS GIVEN OUT TO 'IMPORTANT VISITORS' TO THE FACTORY - SUCH AS PROSPECTIVE CLIENTS FOR EXAMPLE!!!! THEY WERE NEARLY ALWAYS THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSINGS EVER MADE - AND ARE OF THE UTMOST RARITY!!!! BARELY ANY 'FACTORY SAMPLE' PRESSINGS OF THIS LP WERE EVER MADE - MAKING THIS LP THE ULTIMATE PINK FLOYD RARITY!!!!

BUT WHAT MAKES THIS LP REALLY SPECIAL IS THAT IT IS IN ABSOLUTELY AWESOME CONDITION!!!! AND THIS IS SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ON THIS LP!!!! THIS LP COMES FROM A 1 OWNER COLLECTION OF LPs, FROM SOMEONE WHO WAS VERY HIGH UP IN THE MUSIC BUSINESS BACK IN THE LATE 1960s & EARLY 1970s!!!! ALL OF HIS RECORDS WERE RECIEVED DIRECT FROM THE FACTORY AND STORED OUT OF THE LIGHT (VERTICALLY IN CLOSED BOXES!) AND REMAINED IN PLASTIC SLEEVES SINCE NEW!!!! AS A RESULT THIS LP HAS REMAINED IN AMAZING CONDITION - AS IT HASNT SEEN THE LIGHT OF DAY SINCE THE YEAR IT WAS MADE!!!! AND IN THIS LPs CASE, THE RECORD HAS AMAZINGLY ONLY EVER BEEN PLAYED ONCE AND IS IN SUPERB CONDITION, THE INNER SLEEVE IS SIMPLY STUNNING, AND THE COVER IS ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!!! JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!! THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1969 UK 2ND PRESSING ON THE SILVER/BLACK COLUMBIA LABEL, 1ST PRESS 1/1 STEREO MATRIX ENDINGS, ORIGINAL ADVERTISING INNER SLEEVE, AND 1ST PRESS 'GARROD & LOFTHOUSE' FLIPBACK LAMINATED 'PATENTS PENDING' STEREO COVER!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!! This is the ORIGINAL Columbia UK 2nd Pressing from 1969 and is in AWESOME condition!!!! The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl. The Cat. No is SCX 6258 on the ORIGINAL Silver/Black Columbia label (see picture) and is a UK Stereo Pressing!!!!

The record labels are in AWESOME condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and AMAZINGLY there is only 1 TINY spindle trace on 1 label ONLY!!!! IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HAS ONLY EVER BEEN PLAYED ONCE!!!! The vinyl is in SUPERB condition!!!! Most of these 60s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO scratches, only 1 absolutely ULTRA light TINY hairline trace (only visible under EXTREME light!), NO scufflines, and only a VERY few of the VERY lightest paper scuffs only visible under EXTREME light!!!! ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!! THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND LOOKS SUPERB!!!! It is also great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, and barely ANY crackle AT ALL!!!! The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!! The record must grade Excellent+ if not better!!!! SUPERB RECORD!!!! Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!! The record also comes in its ORIGINAL inner sleeve which is in AWESOME condition!!!! The ORIGINAL 1st Press 'Garrod & Lofthouse' Flipback Laminated 'Patents Pending' Cover is in AWESOME condition!!!! It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, barely ANY corner wear AT ALL (NOT through the colour!), barely ANY creases AT ALL (cover is VERY flat looking indeed!), STUNNING shiny 'mirror-like' laminate, and NO writing!!!! The opening edge is beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!! Even the unlaminated back of the cover is in AWESOME condition with NO grubbyness, NO yellowing, NO ringwear, NO rubbing, only an absolutely TINY laminate lift on a TINY part of 1 flipback ONLY, and NO writing!!!! The cover must grade Excellent++++ if not MINT(Minus)!!!! AWESOME COVER!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
