Description
This is an original pressing of "A Saucerful of Secrets" by Pink Floyd. It is on the original Tower brown label, USA # ST-5131. I purchased this album used (in the 1970's) therefore it is not up to my usual par. The vinyl album has scratches and scuffs. The album cover also has significant wear (ring wear, the previous owners name G. Powers written on cover and label) (one white circular sticker "Tom"). Even though this album is certainly not in "mint" condition, it still may make an interesting addition to one's collection.
A Saucerful of Secrets is the second studio album by the English rock band Pink Floyd. It was recorded at EMI's Abbey Road Studios on various dates from August 1967 to April 1968 and was released on 29 June 1968, through EMI Columbia in the UK, while the album was released on 27 July 1968 in the US by Tower.
The album was recorded before and after Syd Barrett's departure from the group. Due to Barrett's behaviour becoming increasingly unpredictable, David Gilmour was brought in, in January 1968. As a result, A Saucerful of Secrets became the only non-compilation Pink Floyd album on which all five band members appeared, the first for Gilmour, with him 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 the last for Barrett, with him on three ("Remember a Day", "Jugband Blues" and "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun").
