Description
THIS IS A VERY EARLY 1ST MONO PRESSING OF PINK FLOYD'S PIPER AT THE GATES OF DAWN ON THE BLUE & BLACK COLUMBIA LABEL.
THE VISUAL AND PLAY GRADE OF THE LP IS VG. THE VINYL HAS A NUMBER OF LIGHT MARKS THOUGH NOTHING HEAVY AND PLAYS WELL WITH JUST OCCASIONAL LIGHT CRACKLE DURING SOME OF THE QUIETER PASSAGES AND SOME MILD DISTORTION FROM TIME TO TIME ON THE HIGHER FREQUENCIES. THERE ARE NO SKIPS OR LOUD POPS DURING PLAYBACK. I'M LISTENING AS I TYPE THIS ON MY REGA 3 DECK AND ITS A PLEASURE TO LISTEN TO, A GOOD PLAY COPY.
THE LABELS ARE IN LOVELY CONDITION WITH JUST SOME MILD SPINDLE WEAR. THE KT TAX CODE IS CLEARLY STAMPED ON SIDE TWO'S LABEL.TT
THE MATRIX OF SIDE ONE IS XAX 3419-2 & XAX 3420-1 ON THE SECOND SIDE. BOTH RUN OFF'S ADDITIONALLY ARE STAMPED 1
THE COVER IS LOVELY, ONE OF THE NICEST I'VE SEEN. IT HAS A FULL GLOSS WITH JUST SOME VERY MINOR LAMINATE CREASES, A FIRM SPINE AND FULLY INTACT FLIPBACKS ON THE REAR. GRADED AS EXCELLENT. THERE IS LIGHT AMOUNT OF STAINING TOWARDS THE OPENING ON THE BACK. THE FILE UNDER POP CREDIT IS TO THE RIGHT OF THE TOP FLIPBACK.
THIS IS AN EXCELLENT COPY OF THIS SEMINAL LP FOR SOMEBODY LOOKING FOR ONE TO PLAY REGULARLY AS I'VE DONE RATHER THAN STORE AWAY OR FOR SOMEBODY WITH AN EXCELLENT GRADE OR HIGHER VINYL LOOKING TO UPGRADE THEIR SLEEVE.
I USE STRICT RECORD COLLECTOR GRADING AND AS A COLLECTOR RATHER THAN A DEALER AM VERY FUSSY ABOUT WHAT I BUY MYSELF AND HAVE GRADED THIS AS ACCURATELY AS POSSIBLE. FULL REFUND OFFERED IF NOT SATISFIED
