Description
A vintage U.S. first pressing of Pink Floyd’s early-era compilation, pairing The Piper at the Gates of Dawn and A Saucerful of Secrets in one surreal, iconic package. This is the uncensored cover variant, featuring the original artwork panels that were later altered or removed on subsequent issues — a detail collectors actively look for. Condition • Vinyl (VG+) Light surface scratching and light play wear. No deep marks. Plays cleanly with typical minor noise for a well-kept ‘70s Capitol pressing. Both discs visually strong. • Cover (VG+) Gatefold is solid with very little edge wear, light corner bumps, and minimal ring wear. All artwork panels remain sharp, colorful, and fully intact — no censor stickers or replacements. Pressing Details • Label: Harvest / Capitol • Mastering: MASTERED BY CAPITOL all sides • Deadwax: • Side 1: SABB‑1‑11257‑G 21=2 + unidentifiable initials 0 • Side 2: SABB‑2‑11257 G‑16 =# + unidentifiable initials 0 • Side 1 Record 2: SABB‑3‑11257 G‑18 = 1 unidentifiable initials • Side 2 Record 2: SABB‑4‑11257 F 9 = 1 0
• Notes: Authentic “1973 First U.S. Pressing – All 4 Sides SABB‑11257 Matrices” • Original uncensored artwork • Clean, intact gatefold • Matching Capitol mastering lineage • Strong VG+ / VG+ condition across the board The original U.S. Capitol pressing of Pink Floyd’s A Nice Pair (SABB‑11257) came with plain white paper inner sleeves, not custom artwork or printed lyrics. That’s consistent with this copy.
