'A SAUCERFUL OF SECRETS' - PINK FLOYD - STEREO VINYL LP - COLUMBIA - SCX 6258 - 1968


Description

A stereo, vinyl, 33 1/3 rpm, LP of Pink Floyd's album, 'A Saucerful Of Secrets'

This is the 2nd studio album from the band released in June, 1968. 

Recorded at EMI Studios and De Lane Lea Studios in London between May 1967 and May 1968, around the time that Syd Barrett started to unravel. Syd left the band in January, 1968 and the album was completed with David Gilmour replacing him permanently.

This is the only album to be credited to the band as a five-piece (the four original members + Gilmour) although all five only played on 'Set The controls...'

Produced by Norman 'Hurricane' Smith

This is the original first pressing with the black label with the 'Columbia' name and trademark in blue.

Flip back sleeve designed by Hipgnosis (the first of a number by them for Floyd). It has 'File under POPULAR : Pop Groups' printed on the flipback in the top right-hand corner of the rear sleeve. Full track listing and writing credits on the rear sleeve.

Inner sleeve is a generic EMI paper sleeve illustrated with b&w covers of other releaes from the EMI catalogue (incl. 'Mrs Mills' and 'The Black and White Minstrels'!!!). The rear of the sleeve appears slightly 'skewiff' although this is more likely a manufacturing defect. 

Printed by Garrod & Lofthouse

Comes with a clear plastic, outer sleeve.

An ideal opportunity to purchase this classic vinyl LP, just ahead of the cinema screening, on March 10th., of the film of Nick Mason's 'Saucerful Of Secrets' concerts at The Roundhouse, London from May, 2019.

Condition


We don't have the facilities to play vinyl at present so grading can only be by visual inspection. On that basis I would say the vinyl is at least VG. There are several visible scratches but these appear superficial, but I can't say how these would affect playback. (I've attempted to show one of them in the photos).                                   Otherwise the vinyl appears in excellent condition and there are no signs of warping. Faint spindle marks.  Sleeve is in VG+ condition.  There is some very slight edge wear on the opening and some very faint creases. There is small, unobtrusive ball-point pen marking (initials?) on the rear sleeve (see photo).  Otherwise the sleeve is unmarked and undamaged.  As noted above the rear sleeve appears slightly skewiff  (but I've seen this with other copies of this album for sale and is more likely a manufacturing problem). The inner sleeve shows very faint creases but is otherwise unmarked and undamaged
