Please keep in mind, we would prefer to continue to provide you the opportunity to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office. Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our well over 18,000 positive feedback. We use an ultrasonic KLAudio machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery. We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music!

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Direct from the original Columbia/Tower Records metal masters...the first two Pink Floyd albums issued in 1967 and 1968... PHENOMENAL sound ... 44 years ago issue!
RECORD ONE:
Piper At The Gates Of Dawn ...One cannot deny the wizardry of Syd Barrett on Piper...Sure the album is psycho popsike meshed with spacerock and maybe you needed to be around at the time to truly appreciate this genre of music. The progressive heads may prefer the spacier tracks like ' Astronomy Domine' and ' Interstellar Overdrive' and the direction the band took after Barrett's departure but ' See Emily Play' you just can't help loving it and admiring Barrett's eccentricities not to mention acid infused creative flashes.
- Side One:
- See Emily Play (2:53)
- Pow.R Toc.H (4:26)
- Take Up Thy Stethoscope and Walk (3:05)
- Lucifer Sam (3:07)
- Matilda Mother (3:08)
- Side Two:
- The Scarecrow (2:11)
- The Gnome (2:13)
- Chapter 24 (3:42)
- Intersteller Overdrive (9:41)
RECORD TWO:
A Saucer Full Of Secrets ...Pink Floyd's 1968 second album is basically the same line of its predecessor. Comparatively, we have psychedelic arrangements as well but a little more diluted in favour of melody. Spacey motives have been almost reduced to the creepy title track which, by the way, is the album's finest: it has 3 parts; the first starts with a ominous crescendo noise (sounding like a ship coming our way), followed by twinkling objects by wind giving a sensation of loneliness and fear, psycho strong piano, strange sounds exploring stereo. Sudden they vanished and the second part brings a crescendo drumming leading to more terrifying sounds. The ending part is quite different, with melancholic slow church organ playing followed by serene infectious chorus.
Other highlights include the tracks until the title track, the main riffs and melodies of Let There be More Light and Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun, this last with some spacey creativity as well; and the sad nostalgia of Remember a Day. These and the title track song have constituted very influential songs over the next decades. The other tracks are basically pleasant songs, which show more again (like in the debut album) strong popsike influence.
- Let There Be More Light (5:38)
- Remember A Aay (4:33)
- Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun (5:28)
- Corporal Clegg (4:12)
- A Saucerful Of Secrets (11:57)
- See-Saw (4:36)
- Jugband Blues (2:59)
CONDITION: The cover: Rated: "EX" (excellent) - GATEFOLD SLEEVE is UNCENSORED, 2 topless females remain that were later covered up by Harvest/Capitol ... no bends, no writing, no delete marks, no split seams ... NICE TOP COPY...rare Pink Floyd sticker over mid section of one of the topless females
The vinyl: Rated: beautiful TOP CLEAN M- Both records, all 4 sides playing minty-clean having been cut from the original metal masters; so the sound quality is phenomenal both HARVEST labels are clean
A cool addition to anyone's music library!
