This is a really nice first UK pressing of The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn--Pink Floyd's legendary first record featuring Syd Barrett's amazing songs. This version does not have the "File Under" text on the back, ensuring that it is an early pressing. It includes the original reddish-brown inner sleeve although the vinyl will come in a more protective sleeve.
These are the matrices:
XAX 3419-2 GG 1 / XAX 3420-1 GG 1
The vinyl itself is very clean looking; It plays all the way through on both sides with some audible background noise, I would say it goes between VG and VG+. I listened with a pretty new Audio Technica AT33MONO cart and I thought it was a really fun listen.
The cover is really clean, besides some light creasing like they all seem to have, the only detriments are that the cover has a slight warp when the record is not in it (*the record is totally flat--only the cover has the little warp!*) and a nick near the spine (see closeup). The nick does not go all the way though the cover lamination.
One day auction!! Happy bidding!!
