PINK FLOYD
THE PIPER AT THE GATES OF DAWN
DESCRIPTION
From my own personal collection I am pleased to offer a superb copy of the debut psychedelic studio album by PINK FLOYD titled “THE PIPER AT THE GATES OF DAWN”, Catalogue Number SCX 6157. This is an ORIGINAL 1969 UK STEREO 2nd PRESSING on the 1 EMI BOX COLUMBIA RECORD LABEL, with a lovely front-laminated GARROD & LOFTHOUSE LTD SLEEVE. Complete with the correct burgundy and white EMI inner sleeve which advertises other EMI albums of the period. [The matrix numbers and stampers are YEX 3419-1 1 GH and YEX 3420-1 1 GO]. The 1 EMI box pressings from 1969 are very special pressings. They were pressed on high quality virgin vinyl and were cut direct from the original master tapes. They were pressed with barely any residual surface sound and in my opinion the audio is every bit as good as the black & blue Columbia 1st pressings (if not better). They are the finest pressings of the period – bar none.
The front of the sleeve is in EX condition with only very light wear and a few very light laminate creases. Rear of the Sleeve with little ring wear and general age wear ( please see pictures) . The spine is square and solid with perfect text. Overall it’s a very presentable example of this iconic sleeve.
The top quality record is in EX condition. It’s a solid 145g pressing which retains a lovely deep shine and rotates evenly on the turntable. The 1 Box EMI labels are clean with small name written to side 1. so this side of label graded as Vg+ and with only a modest number of spindle traces near the centres.
Both sides play EX throughout with barely any discernable deterioration in sound quality and virtually no unwanted noise at all. The audio quality is particularly powerful and vibrant with lots of incredible sound effects. The stereo mix is very different to the mono – but is equally compelling.
The EMI inner sleeve is unmarked with just a little age toning.
So there you have it - a lovely 2nd press copy of Pink Floyd’s iconic debut psych masterpiece.
