Description
WELCOME TO YET ANOTHER GEM FROM MY PRIVATE COLLECTION OF HIGHLY COLLECTABLE, RARE AND UNUSUAL ALBUMS FROM PINK FLOYD THIS IS THEIR FIRST EVER RELEASE "PIPER AT THE GATES OF DAWN". THE BEST THING WITH THIS, IS ITS QUALITY, AND THE FACT THAT WAS AMONGST THE FIRST 6000 TO COME OFF THE PRESS. IT IS THE ORIGINAL FIRST UK PRESS WITH THE BLACK AND BLUE COLUMBIA LABELS AND IS THE HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER, AND WIDELY CONSIDERED THE BEST, MONO VERSION. THIS IS AN ALL ORIGINAL COPY, AND DOES NOT HAVE THE "FILE UNDER" TEXT ON THE REAR COVER.
THE MATRIX AND MOTHER STAMPERS MAKE THIS A SPECIAL COPY. BOTH THE MOTHER STAMPERS ARE "1". THE VERY EARLIEST POSSIBLE. SIDE 1 STAMPER IS "G" AGAIN THE VERY EARLIEST POSSIBLE. THE STAMPER TO SIDE 2 IS "P" WHICH AS I SAID, PUTS THIS IN THE VERY FIRST EVER 6000.
THE COVER IS IN ABSOLUTELY AMAZING ORDER FOR ITS AGE. NOW 41 YEARS OLD, AND THE ONLY THING IT HAS IS A COUPLE OF LIGHT CREASES TO THE LAMINATE. THE FLIPBACKS ARE COMPLETE AND FULLY STUCK STILL.VER CLEAN WITH JUST LIGHT YELLOWING WITH AGE. NO WRITING, NO RIPS OR TEARS, AND NO "FILE UNDER POPULAR MUSIC" TEXT ON THE REAR. FANTASTIC. I DEFY YOU TO FIND A BETTER EXAMPLE.
THE INNER SLEEVE IS THE COMPANY ADVERT TYPE WHICH ADVERTISES (AMONGST OTHERS) BOTH SIDES OF HERMANS HERMITS. THESE ARE ALL VERIFIED SIGNS OF A GENUINE VERY EARLY FIRST PRESS. THE INNER IS STILL CRISP AND COMPLETE. SLIGHT YELLOWING, AND A SHORT SLIT TO ONE SIDE ONLY, CUT BY THE DISC ITSELF. THE VINYL IS REMOVED FROM THIS NOW, AND STORED IN AN ANTI STATIC BAG.
THE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB ORDER TOO. VERY FEW SPIDER LINES AT ALL, SHOWING THIS HAS BEEN PLAYED VERY LITTLE, AND CAREFULLY TOO. CLEAN, UNMARKED. AS GOOD AS IT GETS, AND IN THIS CONDITION, VERY VERY RARE.
THE VINYLS STILL DISPLAY A NICE DEEP BLACK SHEEN. A LITTLE MARKING HERE AND THERE AS YOU WOULD EXPECT FROM AN ALBUM OF THIS AGE, AND FROM THE ERA OF VINTAGE REPRODUCTIVE EQUIPMENT!! THE MARKS ARE NO INTRUSION INTO YOUR LISTENING PLEASURE, BUT BACKGROUND NOISE CAN BE HEARD BETWEEN SOME TRACKS, AND THE LEAD IN. YOU WILL NEVER FIND A SILENT COPY. THERE IS NO SUCH THING1 GET IT ON CD IF THAT IS YOUR THING. THIS IS A PIECE OF HISTORY, AND IN OVERALL EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE SOUND QUALITY IS FANTASTIC CONSIDERING ITS AGE, AND IS A CREDIT TO ITS PREVIOUS OWNER. THIS IS A GEM.
IF YOU REQUIRE A TRACK LISTING, OR ANY MORE PHOTOS- OR HAVE ANY QUESTIONS AT ALL, PLEASE CONTACT ME AND I WILL SEND YOU THEM WITH PLEASURE. PLEASE READ MY FEEDBACK, AND BID WITH CONFIDENCE. I PACKAGE VERY SECURELY, AND POST VERY QUICKLY. I HAVE MANY REPEAT CUSTOMERS, AND PRIDE MYSELF IN MY STANDARDS OF SERVICE.
SUPERB SOUND. SUPERBLY RARE, AND IN THE MOST REMARKABLE CONDITION. I AM MAKING THIS AVAILABLE TO WORLDWIDE EBAYERS, BUT IF IT DOES REACH OVER £200, I WILL PAY POSTAGE AND INSURANCE COSTS.IF NOT, I ONLY CHARGE AT COST PLUS A FEW PENNIES TOWARDS MY ROBUST PACKING. I DO NOT RIP OF ON POSTAGE COSTS!!
AS ALREADY STATED, I DO OF COURSE OFFER A REFUND IF THE ALBUM DOES NOT LIVE UP TO MY DESCRIPTION. I JUST ASK THAT YOU NOTIFY ME WITHIN 7 DAYS OF RECEIPT, AND RETURN IT IN THE SAME CONDITION THAT IT LEFT ME. AS MY FEEDBACK SHOWS, I HAVE MANY HAPPY BUYERS, AND SEVERAL REPEAT CUSTOMERS, SO I DO GET IT RIGHT!! THANKS.
