| Artist or Band: PINK FLOYD Album Title: The Piper at the
Gates of Dawn. Producer(s): Norman Smith. This is the 2nd pressing and the sounds embedded into these hardly used vintage grooves took
psychedelia and space-rock into a new genre of music and introduced the world
to Syd Barrett. The crazy diamond’s masterwork. All evidence suggests this record has been played quite a few times as there is a scratch on 1 side and some minor scratches on the reverse. I have not played the record so I am unable to comment upon the quality of the recording. TRACK LIST: Side 1: Astronomy Dominé;
Lucifer Sam; Matilda Mother; Flaming; Pow R. Toc H. Take Up Thy Stethoscope and
Walk. Side 2: Intersellar
Overdrive; The Gnome; Chapter 24; The Scarecrow; Bike. Label/Format: Columbia - black and silver format. Label Conditions: Good on side 1 but there has been a self adhesive label stuck on side 2 which has been mainly taken off so thst the word "Columbia can be clearly seen. Country of Manufacture: England. Cat Number: SX 6157 stereo. Mode / Speed: Mono / 33.3 rpm Rarity: Rare and one of the
most highly prized mono albums ever issued. All Floyd fans want this one. There are some creases on the cover and the eges of the record have shown through on the back cover and even partly puncured the top and bottom. Somebody has written the date 8/11/79 on the bottom left hand corner of the back cover. Original Year of Release:
1967. Musicians: As listed on the
back cover: Syd Barrett - lead guitar, vocals; Roger Waters - bass guitar,
vocals; Rick Wright - organ, piano; Nicky Mason - drums. Brief Artist & Album Info: The Piper at the Gates of Dawn was recorded during the spring of
1967, while The Beatles were at Abbey Road finishing Sgt Pepper, Pink
Floyd were upstairs recording an album that would have a similarly immeasurable
effect on the development of psychedelic rock. Its name taken from the famous
children’s books The Wind in the Willows (one of Syd Barrett’s favourite
books), this album was a child’s garden of acid, an album-length trip on the
effects of LSD on a troubled mind. One of the first ‘head’ albums, it was
rumoured that the tracks contained sounds - conversations, even - that one
could only hear while tripping. Rumours of subliminal messages hidden in the
songs. All very likely, this legendary album is as important now as it always
was. The ultimate psychedelic space-ride to the stars and beyond from the
incredible mind of a troubled man – a flawed genius that was Syd Barrett. This
man gave the early Pink Floyd that wonderful unique sound and eerie spaciness.
Let’s get this into perspective: Barrett did little else with the Floyd
album-wise, and his legendary name and fame was practically all earned from
this incredible debut album (along with a few singles). This was the era when
Richard Wright’s wonderful keyboard skills were fully utilised and blended with
Mason’s powerful percussion. The sheer chaos and drama of ‘Interstellar
Overdrive’ has to be heard on an original vinyl record to be fully appreciated
with its hidden depths and details. Each individual instrument is clearly heard
and not just a swathe of mixed sound – it’s an incredibly complex piece. Right
from the opening sounds of those mysterious voices on ‘Astronomy Domine’, the
tone is set as the ‘ship’ passes distinct planets and their moons. “Jupiter and
Saturn, Oberon Miranda and Titania, Neptune Titan, Stars can frighten…
youuuuuuuuu”. Incredible power with real depth and clout.
