Description
piper at the gates of dawn - Rarest 1st press vinyl & NO ‘File under Good/good.
This is as rare as it gets for this lp.
I’ve graded it good for vinyl . It has lots of scratches but plays all through with no skips or jumps. In quieter parts there is crackle which is more significant in some parts than others . In spite of this overall it plays really well. The labels are in great condition.
The sleeve is good with signs of age but no seam splits or rips.
The owners name & address is written on it.
It doesn’t have the original inner sleeve.
Matrix / Runout (Runout side A, Variant 1): XAX 3419-2
Matrix / Runout (Runout side B, Variant 1): XAX 3420-1
Cover: Laminated, flip-back sleeve design.
Back Cover: The top right part of the flip-back is blank. It does NOT read "File under POPULAR : Pop Groups". A cover containing this is a repress. Back cover includes title, credits, and song listing. Catalog number in upper right corner. Un-laminated.
Labels: Black Columbia labels with silver text, and a blue "Columbia Records Magic Notes Trademark" at the top, and a blue "Columbia" in the center. A specific font is used with the first pressing. Please compare with the photos on this release to confirm the correct label. Track 1 on Side 2, (including all writing credits), should read across one line only. If the artist credits extend to a second line, it is the repress.
Underneath the blue "Columbia" it reads "Sold in U.K. subject to resale price conditions. See price lists." On most copies, the Tax Code letters "K" and "T" are stamped on the label (on either on side 1 or 2) on each side of the spindle hole.
Text around the bottom edge of the label starts at 10 o'clock and says:
Disk: plate markings are a stamped number at 9:00 and a letter at 3:00, relative to the matrix stamped at 6:00 of the dead wax.
