Description
if enthusiasm in online forums is any indication, this won’t stick around long. Fans of the Syd Barrett era debate the mono vs. stereo attributes of their 1967 debut as heatedly as Beatles buffs haggle over alternate “Sgt. Pepper” mix superiority. Most hardcore Floyd-ians come down on the side of the mono, which has less reverb, no gimmicky panning effects, and curious bits like a song-length Rick Wright organ part that just isn’t there in the stereo version. Although this mix came out on CD some years back, the 51-year-old vinyl version, in good condition, goes for upwards of £1,000 among collectors. Longtime Floyd artist Aubrey Powell has wrapped a repro of the original LP cover up in a newly designed outer sleeve that has a shiny golden silhouette of the band photo on the poster inside. Do you really want to wake up to your friends texting “Wish you were here” from the checkout line?
