On offer here is a very rare LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by Pink Floyd called 'Saucerful Of Secrets' and is a MUCH rarer MONO 1st pressing!!!! THIS IS A MASSIVELY RARE LP AND VERY VERY HARD TO FIND!!!!  IT IS ALSO THE RAREST PINK FLOYD LP TO FIND IN MONO AND VERY VERY SOUGHT AFTER!!!!  NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS COPY IS IN STUNNING CONDITION AND PLAYS SUPERBLY!!!!  IT IS ALSO THE VERY 1ST PRESSING WITH A BLUE/BLACK COLUMBIA LABEL, AN EMI ADVERTISING INNER SLEEVE, A FLIPBACK MONO COVER, A 'KT' TAX CODE ON THE LABEL, 'THE GRAMOPHONE COMPANY' EDGE TEXT, AND 'SOLD IN THE UK' TEXT!!!!  THE MOTHERS AND STAMPERS ARE 1/O & 1/H (VERY EARLY MOTHERS AND STAMPERS), AND THE MATRIX NUMBERS ARE XAX 3633-1 & XAX 3634-1.  THIS IS A VERY EARLY 1968 1ST MONO PRESSING IN STUNNING CONDITION!!!!  DONT MISS THIS SUPERB OPPORTUNITY!!!! This is the ORIGINAL MONO UK 1st pressing from 1968 and is in STUNNING condition!!!! The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl. The Cat. No is SX 6258 on the ORIGINAL Blue/Black Columbia label (see picture) and is a much MUCH rarer MONO 1st pressing!!!! It is very VERY rare to find any ORIGINAL copies of this LP - especially in this condition!!!! All the tracks are Pure quality Pink Floyd at their best!!!! Any fan of Pink Floyd, or 60s music in general, will want to have this in their collection - especially in this condition!!!!

The record labels are in STUNNING condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and only a few light spindle marks!!!! The vinyl is in stunning 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 the first thing to emphasise is that the WHOLE record shines like NEW and retains the FULL sheen of a Mint record!!!!  Apart from the VERY few small marks I will go on to mention below the record is 100% new looking and has NONE of the usual paper scuffing, and NO light scuffing - so often seen on these records.  The record also plays SUPERBLY well!!!!  I will give a detailed visual description one side at a time - and an overall visual and playing after this.  Side 1 has NO scratches, only a couple of the lightest wispy hairlines (that do not sound and can only be seen under EXTREME light), 1 tiny surface mark (again this DOES NOT sound in any respect), and only the absolute minumum of paper scuffs only visible under EXTREME light!!!!  Side 1 plays superbly!!!!  Side 2 has NO nasty deep scratches,  2 tiny hairlines on the last track (that DO NOT sound), 3 tiny marks on the first track (that only give a few pops for each mark), and again only the absolute minimum of paper scuffs only visible under EXTREME light!!!!  It is important to stress that first impressions of this record (even under light) are of a MINT record and you have to search VERY hard to find the marks mentioned above!!!! ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!! THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK!!!! In fact the record SHINES like a mirror and is as BLACK as the night!!!! It is also great to find that the playing of the record is as STUNNING as the visual!!!! It plays with NO pops (apart from the ones mentioned above), NO sticking, NO jumps, NO hiss and NO crackle!!!! This is how I FOUND the record, and I have NOT used any nasty chemicals, or buffing machines to make it look better - it GENIUNELY is this STUNNING!!!! There is NO groovewear either and NO distortion. The record must grade Very Good++++ if not better!!!! THIS IS REALLY A SUPERB GRADE FOR THIS LP!!!!  MANY COLLECTORS WILL KNOW THAT THIS LP OFTEN TURNS UP IN TERRIBLE CONDITION - AND IT REALLY IS INCREDIBLY HARD TO FIND A MONO 1ST PRESSING OF THIS LP WHICH PLAYS (AND LOOKS) AS BRILLIANT AS THIS ONE!!!! 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 still has its ORIGINAL EMI advertising inner sleeve!!!! The MONO 1st Press FLIPBACK Cover is also in STUNNING condition!!!! LOOK AT THE PICTURES - can you get much better???? It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, only slight corner wear (NOT through the colour), only a few light creases (cover is still VERY flat looking), and NO writing!!!! The opening edge is beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!! Even the unlaminated back is in STUNNING condition with NO rubbing AT ALL (VERY rare on this cover), NO ringwear, NO writing, NO wear, NO yellowing and NO grubbyness!!!! The cover must grade Excellent(Minus) with just the few creases stopping a higher grading!!!! IT IS VERY RARE TO FIND THIS LP IN THIS CONDITION!!!!  DONT MISS OUT!!!!

HAVE A LOOK AT MY PICTURES - I DO MY BEST TO SHOW THE RECORD FROM ALL ANGLES AND MAKE THE PICTURES AS CLEAR AS POSSIBLE - THERE IS NOTHING TO HIDE!!!! It really is a GREAT looking LP and it is truly rare to find any copies of this MEGA RARE LP in this sort of condition!!!!
