PINK FLOYD
THE PIPER AT THE GATES OF DAWN
MONO
MEGA RARE 1967 UK PRESS, AND THE 1ST AND DEBUT ALBUM FROM 'THE PINK FLOYD' WHICH IS ON THE LABELS, BUT THE BAND LATER SHORTENED THEIR NAME TO JUST 'PINK FLOYD'. WITH EX+/NEAR MINT AUDIO, AND THAT IS GRADED ON THE SAFE SIDE. ORIGINAL DARK GREY BACK OF COVER AND ORIGINAL INNER, AND THEY NEVER TURN UP LIKE THIS. THIS WAS A MASSIVE DECISION TO PUT UP FOR AUCTION, AND COMES FROM THE TOP BOX IN MY PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION, AND IS IN OUTSTANDING CONDITION !!!!
NO RESERVE AND SILLY £2.99 START PRICE !!!!                  

DISCLAIMER :: ALL MY LP'S LISTED ON THIS SITE ARE ORIGINAL AND NOT FAKE OR COUNTERFEIT, AND ARE SOLD IN GOOD FAITH. THEY WERE BOUGHT ON THE DATE OF ISSUE. THANK YOU !!

THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1967 UK  PRESS  ::  XAX 3419-2   ::  XAX 3420-1 .
AMAZING EARLY MOTHERS AND STAMPERS   ::   1 H   ::  1 L .
WHICH MEANS PRESSED ON '1' THE FIRST MOTHER, AND  'H' AND 'L' THE 7TH AND 8TH STAMPER !!!! 

ON THE BLACK AND BLUE COLUMBIA LABEL ::  SX 6157 .
WITH, 'THE GRAMOPHONE CO LTD' RIM TEXT !!!!
'SOLD IN THE UK SUBJECT RESALE' ON LABELS !!!!
'THE PINK FLOYD' AND 'MADE IN Gt BRITAIN' AT THE BOTTOM OF THE LABELS !!!!

COVER ::  SUPERB FRONT LAMINATED FLIPBACK WITH 'SX 6157', 'FILE UNDER POPULAR : POP GROUPS' ON THE BACK TOP RIGHT CORNER. IN AMAZING CONDITION, WITH BEAUTIFUL SPINE AND EDGES, WITH NO RUB OR WEAR, JUST THE VERY TINIEST OF RUB ON THE CORNERS, AND IT IS TINY. LOVELY LAMINATE WITH NO LAMINATE LIFT, AND ONLY A COUPLE OF TINY LAMINATE CREASE LINES AROUND THE EDGES, AND NOT MANY AT ALL !!!! THERE IS A LONGER FAINT LAMINATE CREASE LINE, ONE IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER AND THE OTHER BOTTOM LEFT, AND THESE ARE ONLY SEEN WHEN THE COVER IS ANGLED A CERTAIN WAY. THE BACK IS GREY, AND NOT THE LATER WHITE WHICH WAS ON LATER COVERS. SUPERB FLIPBACKS WITH NO ISSUES WITH '6709 TPS PRINTED AND MADE BY ERNEST J. DAY & Co, Ltd,. LONDON SX 6157 / SCX 6157'. JUST A BIT OF FAINT RING CREASING ALONG THE OPENING SIDE EDGE, AND NOT RING WEAR !!!! THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP AND THERE IS ALSO A SMALL SURFACE CREASE LINE IN TOP LEFT CORNER, AND BOTTOM LEFT CORNER, AND WITH NOTHING ELSE I WOULD GRADE A VERY NICE SOLID  :: EX . 

VINYL :: THIS REALLY WAS A VERY HARD DECISION TO MAKE, BUT TIME FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO ENJOY, AND ENJOY YOU WILL AS THE AUDIO IS REALLY OUTSTANDING, WITH NO CLICKS, POPS, STATIC, SKIPS, JUMPS OR STICKS, AND ALL I HEARD WAS JUST SEVEN OF THE VERY FAINEST TICKS AT THE VERY START OF TRACK 1 ON SIDE 1, ON THE EXTREMELY QUIET INTRO, AND NOTHING ELSE AT ALL, JUST CLEAR PURE MONO AUDIO !!!! AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYL STILL HAS A BEAUTIFUL SHINE, AND ONLY WHEN HELD UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT ARE THERE SOME COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, SOME FAINT FINE COSMETIC HAIRLINES, A VERY TINY NON FEELABLE SLIGHTLY MORE NOTICEABLE HAIRLINE AT THE START OF TRACK 1 ON SIDE 1 WHERE THOSE VERY FAINT TICKS CAN JUST BE HEARD. AS MENTIONED THIS IS NOT FEELABLE, BUT AS THE INTRO IS VERY QUIET IT DOES MAKE THOSE VERY FAINT TICKS. SO ONTO THE AUDIO GRADE AND I WOULD HAVE GRADED IT NEAR MINT, BUT TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE, I WILL GRADE THE AUDIO A VERY IMPRESSIVE  :: EX+/NEAR MINT .

LABELS :: NICE AND CLEAN, WITH SOME SPINDLE LINES AT THE CENTRE, SEEN WHEN ANGLED AT BRIGHT LIGHT  :: EX/EX+ .

THE ORIGINAL 1967 EMI 32 LP PHOTOS INNER :: NO ISSUES, JUST SOME AGEING, AND A VERY TINY TEAR ON THE OPENING EDGE  :: VG+ .  THE VINYL WILL COME IN A NEW BLACK POLYLINES INNER ALONG WITH THE ORIGINAL !!!!

WELL THAT'S IT, AND PLAYED FOR THE LAST TIME !!!! IT REALLY IS HARD TO FIND THIS ALBUM IN ANY CONDITION, BUT WITH AMAZING AUDIO, COVER AND SOLID ORIGINAL INNER, NEAR IMPOSSIBLE !!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME !!!!  ROSE.
