A nice copy of a scarce and rather unusual Pink Floyd-related LP.

Background: Recorded in 1979 but not released until 1981, Nick Mason’s Fictitious Sports is the only solo album by Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason.

Allmusic.com gave Nick Mason’s Fictitious Sports a 3 star review:

Columbia, apparently attempting to cash in on Pink Floyd’s explosion in popularity, released this album in 1981 under Nick Mason’s name when in reality he’s simply the drummer in this incarnation of Carla Bley’s ensemble; Ms. Bley composed all the music and lyrics for this project. It’s possibly her most overtly pop-oriented album, with all eight songs featuring vocals by Soft Machine alumnus Robert Wyatt. The music, by Bley’s standards, is fairly pedestrian if occasionally catchy, though the lyrics are often wryly amusing. So we have songs about failed car motors and a skeptic’s encounter with a flying saucer, and one dedicated to unappreciative audiences titled “Boo to You Too.” …For Pink Floyd completists, this album might provide a glimpse into an alternate universe of which they were otherwise unaware, but fans of Bley’s earlier masterpieces like Escalator Over the Hill are likely to emerge somewhat disappointed.

This single features two rare Pink Floyd tracks that were recorded in 1967.

About this copy: This copy of Tonite Let’s All Make Love in London is a 1990 UK 12″ single on the See for Miles label.

The cover is M- and is still in the original shrink wrap. The disc is M- and looks unplayed. Clean disc!

A nice copy of a scarce (and very good) Pink Floyd EP; the recording of “Interstellar Overdrive” is exceptional.

Background: Tonite Let’s All Make Love in London was a film that was released in 1967, depicting the “mod” scene of the day. The soundtrack album included, among other things, two tracks by the then-unsigned Pink Floyd.

Pink Floyd (Grateful Dead) – Zabriskie Point UK soundtrack LP

Offered for sale is a UK pressing of the soundtrack to Zabriskie Point, featuring music by Pink Floyd, the Grateful Dead, the Kaleidoscope, and others.

The three Pink Floyd tracks on this LP were unavailable anywhere else until relatively recently.

About this copy: This copy of Zabriskie Point is a 1970 UK pressing on the blue and gold MGM label.

The cover is VG++ with very slight ring wear on the back. The original plastic-lined inner sleeve is included.

The disc is M- on side one and VG+ on side two, with two light marks through tracks 2 and 3. It’s a very clean disc that appears virtually unplayed aside from those two small marks.

A nice copy of a scarce soundtrack LP.

Background: Michelangelo Antonioni’s 1970 film Zabriskie Point has been long forgotten, but the soundtrack has long been collectible due to the inclusion of three rare tracks by Pink Floyd and an excerpt from “Dark Star” by the Grateful Dead.

The album also includes tracks by the Kaleidoscope, Patti Page, the Youngbloods, Jerry Garcia, Roscoe Holcomb and John Fahey.

Allmusic.com gave Zabriskie Point a 4 star review:

Zabriskie Point — just when you thought it was safe to hurtle into the entertainments of the so-called counterculture, this half-baked slice of nonsense arrived under the direction of Michelangelo Antonioni, who had previously directed Blow-Up, a great success. … As a way of accenting the counterculture he thought he was depicting, Antonioni chose to hire a selection of contemporary rock performers. The results of this effort were mixed indeed, with some performers having their music rejected outright after weeks of work, while others left the project after arguments with the ever-evasive director. …This compilation is well worth hearing for the Floyd numbers, including an altered “Careful with That Axe, Eugene” presented as “Come in Number 51, Your Time Is Up.”

Pink Floyd – The Best of the Pink Floyd 1970 Dutch LP

Offered for sale is an original Dutch pressing of The Best of the Pink Floyd by Pink Floyd.

This LP collects a number of the band’s early singles and has never been released in the U.S.

About this copy: This copy of The Best of the Pink Floyd is a 1970 Dutch pressing on the black Columbia label.

The cover is VG+ with light ring wear and a 1 1/4″ (3 cm) split at the center of the spine.

The disc is VG+, with a few scuffs from the heavy paper inner sleeve. There are only a couple of spindle marks on the labels, so the album has clearly had little play.

A nice copy of a somewhat scarce Pink Floyd LP.

Background: Released only in Europe in 1970, The Best of the Pink Floyd (later reissued as Masters of Rock) was the band’s first compilation.

The album did not chart anywhere, but compiles A and B sides from a number of hard to find singles from the Syd Barrett era of the band.

Tracks are:

Chapter 24
Mathilda Mother
Arnold Layne
Candy And A Current Bun
The Scarecrow
Apples And Oranges
It Would Be So Nice

Pink Floyd – The Dark Side of the Moon New Zealand SQ quadraphonic LP

pink floyd - dark side of the moon new zealand quad LP

Offered for sale is a New Zealand SQ quadraphonic copy of The Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd.

This LP will play on stereo equipment, but has a different mix from the stereo release. The quad mix was never released on vinyl in the U.S.

About this copy: This copy of The Dark Side of the Moon is a 1983 New Zealand pressing on the Harvest label of an album that was originally released in 1973.

The cover is VG and has moderate water damage. There is some damage on the back cover at the bottom edge, and the bottom half of the cover is “rippled.”

This LP was issued without inserts.

The disc is M- and may be unplayed. Clean disc!

A nice copy of an album that’s hard to find as a quad vinyl pressing.

Background: The Dark Side of the Moon was Pink Floyd’s eighth album and it’s the one that made them superstars. Reaching #1 in the U.S. and #2 in the UK, the album is one of the biggest selling albums in history.

While the album topped the U.S. charts for only one week, it spent 741 weeks in the U.S. top 200 – fifteen years.

The Dark Side of the Moon was one of three Pink Floyd albums to be remixed for quadraphonic in the mid-1970s, along with Wish You Were Here and Atom Heart Mother.

Allmusic.com gave The Dark Side of the Moon a rare 5 star review:

By condensing the sonic explorations of Meddle to actual songs and adding a lush, immaculate production to their trippiest instrumental sections, Pink Floyd inadvertently designed their commercial breakthrough with Dark Side of the Moon. …Pink Floyd may have better albums than Dark Side of the Moon, but no other record defines them quite as well as this one.

Pink Floyd – Atom Heart Mother UK SQ quadraphonic LP

pink floyd - atom heart mother uk quadraphonic LP

Offered for sale is a UK SQ quadraphonic pressing of Atom Heart Mother by Pink Floyd.

This LP will play on stereo equipment but has different mixes from the stereo release. The quad version of the album was only released as an 8 track tape in the U.S.

About this copy: This copy of Atom Heart Mother is a 1974 UK pressing on the Harvest label.

This is the second quadraphonic issue of the LP, without the “SQ” logo on the front cover.

The cover is VG++, with slight edge wear. The disc is M- and appears to be virtually unplayed. Side one has an “A” stamper code; side two is hard to see but it may also be “A”.

A nice copy of a scarce Pink Floyd LP. Good sound on this one, too.

Background: Released in 1970, Atom Heart Mother was the fifth album by Pink Floyd.

The album reached #1 on the UK charts, but peaked at #55 on the U.S. charts, making it what was then the band’s highest-ever charting album in the U.S.

Atom Heart Mother was one of three Pink Floyd albums to be remixed for quadraphonic in the mid-1970s, along with Wish You Were Here and The Dark Side of the Moon.

Allmusic.com gave Atom Heart Mother a 3 star review:

Appearing after the sprawling, unfocused double-album set Ummagumma, Atom Heart Mother may boast more focus, even a concept, yet that doesn’t mean it’s more accessible. If anything, this is the most impenetrable album Pink Floyd released while on Harvest, which also makes it one of the most interesting of the era. Still, it may be an acquired taste even for fans, especially since it kicks off with a side-long, 23-minute extended orchestral piece that may not seem to head anywhere, but is often intriguing, more in what it suggests than what it achieves.

Pink Floyd – The Piper at the Gates of Dawn original 1967 Canada mono LP

Pink Floyd - The Piper at the Gates of Dawn Canada mono LP

Offered for sale is an original Canadian mono pressing of The Piper at the Gates of Dawn by Pink Floyd.

Unlike the U.S. mono LP, this version contains the same 11 tracks as the UK version.

About this copy: This copy of The Piper at the Gates of Dawn is a 1967 Canadian pressing on the “rainbow” Capitol label.

The cover is VG+ with little wear, but it appears to have some fading. But we’ve never seen another copy so we can’t be sure. There are two small punch holes in the lower left hand corner.

The disc is VG+ with a couple of light scuffs on each side. It looks M- at a casual glance and has been well cared for. The spindle hole has been slightly enlarged.

A nice copy of a very rare Pink Floyd LP and the only Canadian mono copy we’ve ever seen.

Background: The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, released in 1967, was the first LP from Pink Floyd and the only album by the band to predominantly feature founding member Syd Barrett.

The album reached #6 on the UK album charts, but only reached #131 on the U.S. charts.

Allmusic.com gave The Piper at the Gates of Dawn a 5 star review:

The Piper at the Gates of Dawn successfully captures both sides of psychedelic experimentation — the pleasures of expanding one’s mind and perception, and an underlying threat of mental disorder and even lunacy; this duality makes Piper all the more compelling in light of Barrett’s subsequent breakdown, and ranks it as one of the best psychedelic albums of all time.

Pink Floyd – A Saucerful of Secrets original UK mono LP G/G stampers

Pink Floyd - A Saucerful of Secrets UK mono LP

Offered for sale is an original UK mono pressing of A Saucerful of Secrets, the second album by Pink Floyd.

The U.S. release was issued only in stereo; the mono mix is quite different.

About this copy: This copy of A Saucerful of Secrets is a 1968 UK mono pressing on the black and blue Columbia label.

The laminated flipback cover is VG++ with slight edge wear on the back.

The disc is a weak VG+ with a number of faint marks and a number of spindle marks on the labels. It looks quite clean at first glance and plays well.

Stampers are G on side one and G on side two; this copy was one of the first 300 copies pressed.

A nice copy of a very rare Pink Floyd LP.

Background: Released in 1968, A Saucerful of Secrets was the second album by Pink Floyd, the first to include guitarist/singer David Gilmour, and the last to include founder/guitarist/singer Syd Barrett.

The album reached #9 on the UK charts but only reached #158 on the U.S. charts.

Allmusic.com gave A Saucerful of Secrets a 3 1/2 star review:

A transitional album on which the band moved from Syd Barrett’s relatively concise and vivid songs to spacy, ethereal material with lengthy instrumental passages. Barrett’s influence is still felt (he actually did manage to contribute one track, the jovial “Jugband Blues”), and much of the material retains a gentle, fairy-tale ambience.

Pink Floyd – The Piper at the Gates of Dawn 1967 U.S. mono LP

Pink Floyd - The Piper at the Gates of Dawn u.s. mono LP

Offered for sale is an original U.S. mono pressing of The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, the first album by Pink Floyd.

The U.S. mono release is far harder to find and has a different track lineup than the relatively common (but still expensive) UK release. The mono version features significantly different mixes from the stereo release.

About this copy: This copy of The Piper at the Gates of Dawn is an original 1967 mono pressing on the brown Tower label.

The cover is VG+ with faint general wear. The seams are all intact. There is a small punch hole in the lower right hand corner.

The cover has a “2” in the lower right hand corner of the cover, indicating that it was printed at Capitol’s Scranton, Pennsylvania pressing plant.

The disc is VG+ with no significant marks on the vinyl, but it does have some scuffs from the original paper inner sleeve.

A nice copy of a very rare Pink Floyd LP.

Background: Released in 1967, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn was the first album by Pink Floyd, which then included Syd Barrett on guitar and vocals.

The album was released in the U.S., UK, and Canada in both stereo and mono in late 1967. While many UK buyers were still purchasing albums in mono in 1967, most U.S. buyers were choosing stereo releases at that time, and the U.S. mono album was deleted shortly after release, while the UK album stayed in print in mono for several years.

The mono version of the album features significantly different mixes from the stereo version.

While the Canadian pressing had the same track lineup as the UK issue, the U.S. pressing was quite different.

The UK album had 11 tracks, but the U.S. version deleted three of them (“Astronomy Domine,” “Flaming,” and “Bike”) and added “See Emily Play,” which had been recently issued as a single.

The Piper at the Gates of Dawn was one of the last albums issued on mono by Tower Records; the label only released four albums in mono after this one.

UK version has these eleven tracks:

Astronomy Domine
Lucifer Sam
Matilda Mother
Flaming
Pow R. Toc H.
Take Up They Stethoscope and Walk
Interstellar Overdrive
The Gnome
Chapter 24
The Scarecrow
Bike

The U.S. copy (this one) has these nine tracks:

See Emily Play
Pow R. Toc H.
Take Up They Stethoscope and Walk
Lucifer Sam
Matilda Mother
The Scarecrow
The Gnome
Chapter 24
Interstellar Overdrive
