Description
Pink Floyd - A Nice Pair *UK First Press* (double album) EX EX/EX with 'W.R. Phang' (dentist) Gatefold sleeve 12” Vinyl LP
Description: Here we have an absolutely stunning example of Pink Floyd's double album - 'A Nice Pair' including both of their two first albums; 'A Piper at The Gates of Dawn' and ' A Saucerful of Secrets' in Excellent condition. This is the original 1967 U.K. FIRST PRESS with the 'dentist' album cover.
First Press information The very earliest copies have a picture of a Mr. W.R. Phang's dental surgery on the cover (a genuine business), but Dr. Phang objected because dentists were not allowed to advertise, and the picture was replaced in later issues with one of a monk. The gatefold sleeve displays the suggested but previously unused album artwork.

SLEEVE: EX This 1967 gatefold sleeve is in excellent condition. It is the 'dentist' first press edition and includes ‘W.R. Phang’ top right corner. The spine, corners and edges are clean with no tears or rips and only some very light storage wear. A fantastically well looked after copy! There is a name written in biro on the left inside of the sleeve (see photos). There is also biro on the plain, cardboard insides of the outer sleeve (where the record sits) this is only visible when getting the vinyl out/ putting it away. Overall this is a very well preserved, original, first press sleeve. VINYL: EX/ EX The vinyl test plays beautifully with crystal clear audio, no jumps, no pops, no loud crackling and only very minimal background noise between the tracks. Visually there are a few very light surface scratches which do not affect the sound. This is an absolutely fantastic playing copy of this album! INNER SLEEVE: EX/ EX Original, die cut EMI photo inner sleeves, name written in biro on inside edge - visible only when getting the vinyl out/ putting it away. Otherwise both have been very well kept and are in excellent condition.
