If you are looking for a near mint (NM) original copy of this legendary LP, this is your auction. This is a RARE early pressing, it has been been rarely played, with some no marks or scuffs that are clearly visible. It play-grades NM- with only very slight surface noise at the beginning of "Careful With That Axe Eugene." Otherwise, it would be graded stone-cold near mint. It visually grades NM, again, with virtually no indications of play. The original 1971 vinyl fidelity is AMAZINGLY clear and true. None better. Cleaned on the VPI machine. Again, this is an audiophile copy The cover is VG+ as shown, with discoloration, ring wear and slight wear. No seam splits, writing or stickers.
Shipped in a sturdy, professional record mailer.
AllMusic Review by Andy Kellman [-] Since Relics is a compilation and not a regular studio album, it tends to be overlooked when thought of as one of Pink Floyd's better releases. It might not be regarded as a classic psychedelic masterpiece in the manner of The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, and it certainly won't ever achieve the multiple platinum status of Dark Side of the Moon, but it's a pretty good place to start with the band's early catalog. Originally issued in 1971, Relics culls from the band's first five singles (two A-sides and three B-sides, including the non-album pop classics "See Emily Play" and "Arnold Layne") and picks album material that capitalizes on the band's versatility while making it a thoroughly palatable listen. From Piper, you get the goofy childishness of "Bike" and the mesmerizing "Interstellar Overdrive," one of the band's trademark instrumental freak-outs; "The Nile Song," taken from the More soundtrack, is one of the heaviest songs the band recorded. A little bit of everything that made early Pink Floyd can be found here. Without a doubt, the disc is an essential part of the band's discography, not to be disregarded due to its overlap with studio album material.
