       PINK FLOYD - SAUCERFUL OF SECRETS 1968

                                           USA -  TOWER ST 5131 one color label.

A Saucerful of Secrets is the second studio album by English rock group Pink Floyd. It was recorded at EMI's Abbey Road Studios on various dates from August 1967 to April 1968. It is both the last Pink Floyd album on which Syd Barrett would appear and the only studio album in which all 5 band members contributed.

During A Saucerful of Secrets's difficult recording sessions, Barrett became increasingly unstable, and in January 1968, David Gilmour was brought in. As a result, A Saucerful of Secrets became the only non-compilation Pink Floyd album on which all five band members appeared, with Gilmour 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 Barrett on three ("Remember a Day", "Jugband Blues" and "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun"). Barrett was finally ousted from the band in early March, leaving the new incarnation of Pink Floyd to finish the album. "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun" is the only song in which all five band members appeared.

As well as "Jugband Blues", the album was to include "Vegetable Man," another Syd Barrett song. The song was to appear on a single as the B-side to another unreleased track, "Scream Thy Last Scream". Two additional Syd Barrett songs, "In The Beechwoods" and "No Title" (frequently referred to on bootlegs as "Sunshine"), were also recorded early in the sessions for the album. At least one other song, "John Latham", was recorded during these sessions, and remains unreleased.

Keyboardist Richard Wright sings lead vocals on four of the album's seven songs, and backing vocals on the eleven-and-a-half-minute instrumental opus "A Saucerful of Secrets", making this the only Pink Floyd album where Wright's vocal contributions outnumber those of the rest of the band. This is also the only album to contain lead vocals by all five Pink Floyd members (Mason sings lead parts on "Corporal Clegg"), though it is not the only album where the other four have singing credits. On the album Meddle, all four remaining members contributed their voices again, with Mason delivering a single spoken line in "One of These Days".

I strictly grade my records, I examine them under a bright light so that no one will be disappointed.

Please ask all ???'s before bidding.

GRADING SCALE

Mint (M): The record , cover and all inserts are in absolutely perfect condition. If there is even one flaw, such as the cover photo being crooked, the record is M- or Near Mint at best. We do not use this grade, even for sealed/new records.

Mint - (M-): The highest grade we use, as we believe there are no such things as “Mint” records. Full vinyl gloss. Label not faded. No signs of wear on disc or cover.

Excellent ++ (EX++): Not quite M-, may have literally one or two very minor flaws; ONE light paper scuff; small writing on label and/or cover; dinged corner; etc.

Excellent + (EX+): Slightly better than EX. Has a few very minor flaws.

Excellent (EX): Better than average. Has a few minor flaws, very minor label wear. Very little or no lessening of sound quality. The cover may have slight wear or creasing.

Excellent - (EX-): A bit better than average. Light scuffing, a few very light scratches (“needle scuffs”); little deterioration in sound. The cover may have a small seam split. Ring wear and/or seam wear may be more prominent

Very Good ++ (VG++): Not quite EX-; slight scuffing and possibly some graying in the grooves. No major deterioration in sound quality.

Very Good + (VG+): Only slightly better than average condition; the record has obviously been played. Light scuffs and some light scratches (“needle scuffs”) are visible. Only slight deterioration/distortion in sound.

Very Good (VG): Average condition. Used but not abused. Scratches and hiss can be heard upon playback. Normal wear and tear on cover will be present in the way of split seams/spine or moderate to heavy ring wear. Generally worth 50% of Mint condition value.

Very Good - (VG-): Just slightly less than average, still a good record to play. Has numerous scratches and scuffs; a few “clicks” or “pops” and hiss will be heard upon playback. This is usually the lowest grade we use on eBay.

Good + (G+): Good plus is just slightly better than Good. Sound quality is noticeably deteriorated.
