Pink Floyd Ummagumma STBB-388 NM LPS gatefold cover S VG+

Pink Floyd -  A NICE PAIR (2 record set)  is a 1973 LP release on the Harvest label # SABB-11257. 
In the wake of the mega-hit status achieved earlier in 1973 by Dark Side of the Moon, executives, in tandem with their counterparts in other countries, decided to remarket the group's earlier catalog; in America, this meant reissuing their first two LPs, Piper at the Gates of Dawn(originally issued stateside as Pink Floyd, in edited form) and A Saucerful of Secrets. The result was a double LP called A Nice Pair. They had to add tracks in order to make the first platter, containing Piper at the Gates of Dawn, complete -- but instead of adding the original studio version of " Astronomy Domine," they took the very different live version from two years later off of the Ummagumma album and slapped it on, chopping off the applause at the end. A notable element of A Nice Pair was its outer jacket by Hipgnosis, which was made up of 18 different images, one of which was a substitute for a recalcitrant Floyd Patterson, who wanted 5,000 dollars for the use of an image of him tinted pink on the cover; thus, the boxer, in a manner similar to that of Leo Gorcey on the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band cover, aced himself out of a chance at footnote-level immortality in the rock music firmament. The cover was also censored in the U.S.A., a sticker covering a pair of female breasts and other, minor problems entailed with some of the images on various fronts.
