Description
Here is a decent RARE Mono recording of Pink Floyd's 2nd studio album, A Saucerful of Secrets
It is a genuine original UK 1st pressing from 1968!
What makes this copy especially valuable to the collector is the mis-spelling of David Gilmour's name as Gilmore on both labels and sleeve!!
The record is 48 years old, the vinyl is VG+ : retains sheen and plays well on both sides despite paper scuffs and light scratching esp on side 1
The matrices in the run out wax are XAX3633 - 1 and XAX3634-1 - the very earliest!
The labels have some spindlewear but are still nice. They are the beautiful Columbia bright blue on black, with silver lettering
These very first labels have the text 'Sold in UK subject to resale price conditions' and 'Made in Gt Britain.'
The Garrod & Lofthouse cover is the original clarifoil laminated flip-back, the front still shiny but has some ringwear creasing and nibbled corners VG
On the top right rear is 'File under POPULAR: Pop Groups'
The sleeve design and photos are by HIPGNOSIS
The date code on the rear of the cover is 6807 TPS
Notes:
The album was recorded before and after Syd Barrett's departure from the group. Owing to Barrett's behaviour becoming increasingly unpredictable, David Gilmour was recruited in January 1968. As a result, A Saucerful of Secrets became the only non-compilation Pink Floyd album on which all five band members appeared, the first for Gilmour, with him appearing on five songs ("Let There Be More Light", "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun", "Corporal Clegg", "A Saucerful of Secrets" and "See-Saw"), and the last for Barrett, with him on three ("Remember a Day", "Jugband Blues" and "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun"). "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun" was the only song all five members appeared on together. Drummer Nick Mason declared A Saucerful of Secrets his favourite Pink Floyd album.
