THIS IS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF THIS ICONIC ALBUM FROM PINK FLOYD.
THIS IS THE BANDS "A SAUCERFUL OF SECRETS", THEIR SECOND ALBUM. THE ORIGINAL UK FIRST PRESSING IN GLORIOUS MONO (THE MOST PRIZED AND SOUGHT AFTER) WITH THE BLUE AND BLACK COLUMBIA LABELS.
THE OUTSTANDING FEATURE OF THIS ALBUM IS THE FACT THAT IT HAS THE VERY FIRST MOTHERS -"1"- TO BOTH SIDES, AND THE STAMPER "R" TO SIDE 1, AND "G" TO SIDE 2. WHAT THIS IN FACT MEANS IS THAT THIS ALBUM IS BETWEEN THE 1000th AND 2000th TO COME OFF THE PRESS. ONE OF THE FIRST 2000 EVER PRESSED! THIS BENEFITS ITS SOUND QUALITY, AND OF COURSE, ITS RARITY VALUE TOO.
THIS IS A VERY NICE EXAMPLE OF THIS ALBUM, AND HAS HAD ITS VINYLS KEPT IN REMARKABLE CONDITION BEARING IN MIND THIS DATES FROM 1968.
THE COVER IS GRADED AS VERY GOOD AT LEAST. IT HAS SOME CREASING TO THE LAMINATE, A DISC IMPRESSION FORMNG, AND SOME BUMPING AND WEAR TO THE CORNERS. ALL FLIPBACKS ARE SOLID AND WHOLE.
THE INNER SLEEVE IS NON-ORIGINAL. COMES WITH VERY TIDY POLY LINED DIE-CUT INNER.
THE LABELS ARE GRADED AS VERY GOOD+. THEY DO HAVE SOME SPIDERING AT THE CENTRE. THIS HAS BEEN PLAYED, BUT CARED FOR AS WELL. THE "KT" TAX CODE STAMP IS PRESENT.
THE VINYLS ARE GRADED AS NEAR EXCELLENT. THEY STILL HAVE A GOOD DEPTH OF SHEEN WITH JUST A COUPLE OF LIGHT MARKS (ASIDE OF NORMAL PAPER ENTRY/EXIT MARKS), BUT THESE HAVE NO EFFECT ON THE AUDIO PERFORMANCE. THERE IS A LITTLE BACKGROUND TO RUN IN/OUTS AND BETWEEN TRACKS. THE LAST TRACK ON SIDE 2 HAS A LITTLE STATIC "CRACKLE" TO ITS LEAD-IN. APART FROM THESE MINOR FAULTS, THE PEFORMANCE BELIES ITS AGE.
I HAVE PLAYED THIS ON MY LINN/NAIM HIGH END SYSTEM, AND CAN CONFIRM THAT IT PLAYS EXCEPTIONALLY WELL. THE SOUND IS DYNAMIC AND ENGAGING, AND PLAYS WITHOUT ANY ANNOYING FAULTS. SITS NICE AND FLAT TO THE PLATTER. A VERY GOOD EXAMPLE.
THIS IS A GEM OF AN ALBUM. THE MATRICES AND STAMPERS:-
THE MOTHERS ARE (SIDE 1) "1" AND ON SIDE 2 "1". THE EARLIEST.
THE STAMPERS ARE (SIDE 1) "R" AND SIDE 2 "G". THESE ARE THE EARLIEST IN THE FIRST PRESS SEQUENCE. CHECK OUT OTHER COPIES, AND YOU WILL FIND MOST ARE MUCH LATER.
ANY QUESTIONS AT ALL WILL BE ANSWERED AS SOON AS I SEE THEM. IF YOU REQUIRE A TRACK LISTING, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.
PLEASE CHECK MY FEEDBACK RATINGS. I OFFER A HIGH LEVEL OF SERVICE, AND AM HONEST IN MY DEALINGS.
I AM STARTING THIS AT A VERY LOW PRICE, AND THERE IS NOT A RESERVE ON IT. THESE LPs ALWAYS SEEM TO FIND THEIR OWN MARKET PRICE WITHOUT ADDITIONAL HELP FROM THE SELLER.
I AM SELLING WORLWIDE, AND WILL POST ON THE SAME DAY THAT I RECEIVE THE MONEY. MY PACKAGING IS RECYCLED, BUT VERY VERY ROBUST. I ONLY CHARGE WHAT IT COSTS ME TO POST, I DO NOT PROFIT ON POSTAGE!! ANY ADDITIONAL INSURANCE OTIONS WILL BE OFFERED AT SALE END. THE POSTAL PRICES QUOTED FOR OVERSEAS ARE AN ESTIMATE ONLY, AND INCLUDE "SIGNED FOR" WITH FULL INSURANCE.
