Item Description

Hello Please note, that this auction will end on late Tuesday December 26th into early December 27th UK time.
Of course, I usually end my auctions on Sundays.
However, as this coming Sunday falls on Christmas Eve in the UK this is impossible.
I do NOT stop for the Christmas period, and will be listing some truly INCREDIBLE items In fact, most of my listings over the Christmas period have all come from one AMAZING collection, and are the BEST and RAREST items I have seen for a very VERY long time.
So don t forget to check back before Tuesday December 26th into early December 27th UK time - to see some the BEST ITEMS I have EVER listed Please read on about this AMAZING item below, and GOOD LUCK if you decide to bid:- On offer here is a VERY rare LP especially in this condition by Pink Floyd called Piper At The Gates Of Dawn and is an ORIGINAL 1969 UK MONO Pressing on the Columbia label THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE THIS WAS PINK FLOYD S FIRST RAREST LP EVER - AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE BUT WHAT MAKES THIS LP REALLY SPECIAL - IS THAT IT IS THE ALL TIME RAREST PINK FLOYD LP EVER MADE I WILL EXPLAIN:- THIS IS UNDOUBTEDLY THE ALL TIME RAREST PINK FLOYD LP EVER MADE.
A VERY STRONG STATEMENT INDEED - BUT ONE THAT IS 100 TRUE.
OF COURSE, THERE ARE DEMOs AND ACETATES WHICH ONLY HAD 2 OR 3 COPIES MADE ETC.
BUT I AM TALKING ABOUT THE RAREST PINK FLOYD LP THAT WAS EVER RELEASED - AND COULD HAVE BEEN BOUGHT IN A SHOP.
IT ONLY EVER EXISTED ON 1 SET OF MONO STAMPERS ONLY - AND ONLY A MAXIMUM OF 300 COPIES COULD HAVE BEEN MADE ON THIS STAMPER SET.
THOUGH THIS ONLY APPLIES IF THE FULL STAMPER WAS USED - AND IN THIS CASE, IT WASN T AS PART OF THIS STAMPER SET HAD ALREADY BEEN USED ON THE LAST BLUE/BLACK LABELS TO PUT THIS LP INTO PERSPECTIVE, THE MOTHER STAMPERS MOST PEOPLE TEND TO LOOK FOR IS 1G/1G OR 1G/1R.
AND YET OVER 50 COPIES WITH THESE STAMPERS HAVE TURNED UP FOR SALE IN THE LAST 10 YEARS.
AND YET ONLY 2 OR 3 COPIES OF THIS RAREST EVER MONO PRESSING HAVE TURNED UP IN THE SAME TIME PERIOD AND REMEMBER - THAT THIS LABEL IS VERY COMMON IN STEREO, BUT IS ALMOST NON-EXISTENT IN MEGA RARE MONO ONLY 100-200 COPIES WERE EVER MADE IN MONO ON THIS LABEL THE DATE:- IT IS IMPORTANT FIRSTLY TO GET THE TIME PERIOD 100 CORRECT.
SOME PEOPLE LIST THIS LP AS A 1968 PRESSING.
IT WASN T.
COLUMBIA USED THE BLUE/BLACK LABELS RIGHT UP TO THE VERY END OF 1969 - WITH THE LAST MAINSTREAM LP TO HAVE THEM BEING THE DAVE CLARK FIVE S 5X5 SX 6309 RELEASED IN DECEMBER 1968.
THERE WERE ALSO A COUPLE OF OTHER OBSCURE LPs TO ALSO HAVE THEM INTO JANUARY 1969.
SO IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS LP IS DEFINITIVELY FROM 1969 - AS NO SILVER/BLACK COLUMBIA LABELS EXISTED BEFORE JANUARY 1969.
AND OF COURSE, NO DOUBT AS A CHARTING LP - THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN LEFT OVER STOCKS TO SELL FIRST, PRIOR TO NEW COPIES BEING ORDERED.
SO IT IS ALMOST CERTAIN THAT THIS LP ACTUALLY DATES FROM MARCH/APRIL 1969.
IN FACT, IT COULD EVEN BE LATER STILL - POSSIBLY INTO THE SUMMER OF 1969.
THE REASON FOR THIS RAREST EVER LAST MONO PRESSING:- AT THIS POINT IN 1969 MONO COPIES OF THIS LP WOULD HAVE ONLY BEEN AVAILABLE BY SPECIAL ORDER ONLY.
AND THIS LP HAD LONG SINCE LEFT THE CHARTS AND WAS AVAILABLE IN STEREO.
SO DEMAND WOULD HAVE BEEN NON EXISTENT, AND THIS CLEARLY WASNT A DELIBERATE PRESSING.
SO THE ONLY REASON THAT THIS PRESSING EVEN EXISTED AT ALL - WAS FOR EMI TO USE UP THE REMAINING MONO COVERS.
CLEARLY ONLY 100-200 MONO COVERS WERE LEFT, AS THIS LP ALMOST NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE LIKE THIS AND ON THIS LABEL.
AFTER ALL THIS LP WAS READILY AVAILABLE IN STEREO SO THIS IS WHY ONLY 100-200 OF THE LAST MONOs WERE EVER MADE, BEFORE BEING DELETED FOREVER, LEAVING THIS LP THEN ONLY AVAILABLE IN STEREO ONLY THE PROOF OF ITS RARITY:- THE SHEER RARITY OF THIS LP IN UNDENIABLE.
AND THE CHANCES OF EVER FINDING ANOTHER ONE AGAIN ESPECIALLY IN THIS BRILLIANT CONDITION IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE THIS LP ONLY EXISTS ON ON 1 SET OF MONO STAMPERS 1/GG 1/GO OF WHICH ONLY PART OF THESE WERE EVER USED.
ONLY 2 OR 3 OF THESE HAVE TURNED UP IN THE LAST 10 YEARS, AS OPPOSED TO 50 1G/1G 1G/1R COPIES.
THIS WILL BE THE GAP IN MOST PEOPLE PINK FLOYD COLLECTIONS THAT REMAINED UNFILLED.
THIS LP IS UNDENIABLY AND UNDOUBTEDLY THE RAREST PINK FLOYD EVER RELEASED - AND THE CHANCES OF EVER FINDING ANOTHER ONE AGAIN IS VIRTUALLY ZERO NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS LP IS IN ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT CONDITION - AND CLEARLY HASN T BEEN PLAYED MUCH AT ALL JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1969 UK LAST EVER MONO PRESSING ON THE RAREST EVER SILVER/BLACK ONE BOX MONO COLUMBIA LABEL, 1/2 MONO MATRIXES, LAST EVER 1GG/1GO MONO MOTHER STAMPER CODINGS, SOLD IN THE UK LABEL TEXT, ORIGINAL PATENTS APPLIED FOR ADVERTISING INNER SLEEVE, AND E.J.DAY FLIPBACK LAMINATED MONO COVER THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY This is the ORIGINAL Columbia UK Pressing from 1969 and is in BRILLIANT condition The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl.

PLEASE NOTE - Private feedback bidders must consult me first prior to bidding - due to previous problems regarding non-payment, and non-receipt.
MY POSTAGE UNDERCHARGE GUARANTEE TO ALL BUYERS I always undercharge on postage :- Due to UK Royal Mail s obscene price increases this year - I have had no choice but to increase postage charges a little.
Until this year - I had kept them exactly the same since I joined ebay back in 2002.
However this years price increases have been so obscene, that I have had no choice but to increase my postage charges for the first time ever.
However PLEASE NOTE - my absolute 100 guarantee to you as a buyer - is that I will ALWAYS undercharge postage on everything I send out.
Even after the increases, I am still charging you the buyer LESS than I am being charged myself.
On each package I send out - the price is clearly stated on the front of the package please check it when you recieve it .
I also do NOT charge for packaging costs - ONLY for postal costs And should you find that I have overcharged you postage in ANY way - I will refund DOUBLE the difference.
THAT IS MY 100 POSTAL GUARANTEE FOR EACH AND EVERY BUYER No buyer EVER deserves to be overcharged on postage - and on my listings, I ll make sure they are ALWAYS undercharged.
Any questions - please ask
