"A SAUCERFUL OF SECRETS"

(1968 COLUMBIA RECORDS LP – RARE UK MONO 1st PRESS!)

THIS IS A RARE UK MONO 1ST PRESSING OF THIS 1968 LP BY PINK FLOYD ON THE COLUMBIA LABEL. THIS IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND IN ANY CONDITION BUT THIS LP IS IN UNBELIEVABLE CONDITION. IT IS COMPLETE WITH LAMINATED GARROD & LOFTHOUSE LTD FLIPBACK SLEEVE. THIS LP HAS AN ALMOST NEW APPEARANCE AND I SERIOUSLY DOUBT I WILL EVER SEE A BETTER COPY OF THIS WONDERFUL RECORD.

THE CATALOGUE NUMBER IS COLUMBIA SX 6258

THE MATRIX NUMBERS ARE: XAX 3633 – 1 / XAX 3634 – 1

STAMPER CODES ARE: P1 / M1 (VERY EARLY)

THE SLEEVE

THE FRONT LAMINATED HIPGNOSIS DESIGNED SLEEVE IS IN NEAR MINT- CONDITION. IT HAS RETAINED IT’S FULL SHEEN AND GLOSS AND ALMOST LOOKS AS IF IT JUST CAME OUT OF THE SHOP 40 YEARS AGO!! THERE ARE NO TEARS AND NO SCUFFS. THERE ARE JUSTA FEW TINY WRINKLES IN THE LAMINATION. THERE ARE NO SIGNS OF ANY WEAR TO THE BACK. THERE IS A SMALL, THIN DYMO STICKER ON THE BACK, WHICH THE PREVIOUS OWNER USED TO CATALOGUE HIS COLLECTION – SEE PHOTO

THE INNER SLEEVE

THE ORIGINAL EMI ADVERTISING INNER SLEEVE HAS BLACK PRINTING ON WHITE PAPER WITH 16 LP COVERS PICTURED IN THE MIDDLE OF EACH SIDE, INCLUDING THE BEATLES’ "REVOLVER" ON ONE SIDE, HERMAN’S HERMITS’ "BOTH SIDES" ON THE OTHER " IT IS IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION.

THE VINYL

THE GLOSSY, BLACK VINYL IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. THERE ARE ONE OR TWO VERY MINOR HAIRLINE PAPER SCUFFS THAT CAN ONLY BE SEEN UNDER THE BRIGHTEST OF LIGHT. THE SOUND QUALITY IS SUPERB. THERE IS NO DISTORTION AND NO INTERFERENCE. STUNNING PINK FLOYD IN MONO AT IT’S VERY BEST.

UNDERNEATH THE BLUE "COLUMBIA" IT SAYS "SOLD IN U.K. SUBJECT TO RESALE PRICE CONDITIONS. SEE PRICE LISTS." AT THE BOTTOM OF THE LABEL, IT SAYS "MADE IN GT BRITAIN."
