A bundling of The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn and A Saucerful Of Secrets with a new cover. (1974) Piper At The Gates Of Dawn was released in 1967 A Saucerful Of Secrets was released in 1968.

This version features a picture of "W. R Phang's Dental Surgery" (a genuine business) on the top right on the front cover.  This version was withdrawn following objections from Dr. Phang, due to dentists not being allowed to advertise.  A later version came out shortly after, featuring a picture of a gargling monk.
The dentist is censored, but the nice pair are not. :)

Green "Harvest labels".
Matt gatefold sleeve, 2 inner sleeves with die cut corners.
