Description
ARTIST: PINK FLOYD
TITLE: A SAUCERFUL OF SECRETS
LABEL: TOWER ST 5131 stereo
YEAR: 1968
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: USA
COVER CONDITION: NM SEALED minor spine damage
VINYL CONDITION: MINT SEALED UNPLAYED
DETAILS: still sealed copy of this psych classic, that appears to be original. Has all the correct markings: tower logo, “printed in usa” in lower left, capitol records printing info on the bottom, listing scranton, jacksonville, etc. - has 1/2” white border on front and back. The spine only says “pink floyd” / catalogue number with no title. Stunning bright & sharp graphics. The only indication that this may not be a 60s press is that the vinyl does not feel heavy, and is somewhat flexi. Did they press tower issues into the 70s? Or maybe those striped label 2nd issues are thinner vinyl? Whatever pressing this is, it is very rare sealed, mint, so good luck!
This is GAURENTEED to be an original seal NOT A RESEAL.
During its difficult recording sessions, Barrett became increasingly unstable and in January of 1968, David Gilmour was brought in. Barrett was finally removed from the band by early March, leaving this new incarnation of Pink Floyd to finish the album. As a result, A Saucerful of Secrets is the only non-compilation Pink Floyd album on which all five band members appear, with Gilmour appearing on four songs (Let There Be More Light, Corporal Clegg, A Saucerful of Secrets, and See-Saw) and Barrett on three (Remember a Day, Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun, and Jugband Blues). As well as "Jugband Blues", the album was to include "Vegetable Man," another Syd Barrett song. However, the band believed "Vegetable Man," with its autobiographical lyrics, was unsuitable for inclusion and so it was left off the album. The song was to appear on a single as the b-side to another unreleased track, "Scream Thy Last Scream". Two additional Syd Barrett songs, "In The Beechwoods" and "No Title" were also recorded early in the sessions for the album.
An image of the Living Tribunal from Marvel Comics can be seen in the cover's upper left corner. "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun" is the only Pink Floyd song that features all five band members. Keyboardist Rick Wright sings lead or backing vocals on four of the album's seven songs, making this the only Pink Floyd album where Wright's vocal contributions outnumber those of the rest of the band.
