Description
PINK FLOYD - The Piper at the Gates of Dawn
Original 1967 UK mono pressing in second issue 'File Under Pop' sleeve
XAX 3419-2 / XAX 3420-1 matrix
1 GG / 1GP mother/stampers
Cat# SX6157
Comes complete with its original front-laminated E.J. Day flip-back sleeve and EMI inner sleeve
The record is in overall VG/Very Good(-) condition; surface marks and scuffs, but play-graded in full and sounds great throughout with a lovely clear audio and minimal background, HOWEVER:
There is a feelable scratch across the start of 'Matilda Mother' which creates some pops and one jump
Though I cannot spot the cause there are two jumps at the start of 'Interstellar Overdrive' and also one right towards the end of the track
The sleeve is in Very Good(+) condition (see photos); minor signs of age, wear and storage to the front and back. One very small (2cm) split to the bottom edge. Some scuffing to the spine which obscures some of the 'The Pink Floyd' text. Rubbing to the corners. Overall, looks very nice.
I use the UK Record Collector grading system Mint (M) The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet. booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records marked as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint. Excellent (EX) The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing. Very Good (VG) The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects is acceptable Good (G) The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc Fair (F) The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced. Poor (P) The record will not play properly due to scratched, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing Bad (B) The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler CD?s and CASSETTES As a general rule CD?s and Cassettes either play perfectly ? in which case they are in Mint condition ? or they don?t, in which case their value is minimal. Cassette tape is liable to deteriorate with age, even if it remains unplayed, so care should be taken when buying old tapes. CD?s are difficult to grade visually; they can look perfect but actually be faulty, while in other cases they may appear damaged but still play perfectly. Cassette and CD inlays and booklets should be graded in the same way as record covers and sleeves. In general, the plastic containers for cassettes and CDs can easily be replaces if they are broken or scratched, but card covers and digipaks are subject to the same wear as record sleeves.
