For many years, this double LP was one of the most popular albums in Pink Floyd s pre-Dark Side of the Moon output, containing a live disc and a studio disc all for the price of one in the LP version . The live set, recorded in Birmingham and Manchester in June 1969, is limited to four numbers, all drawn from the group s first two LPs or their then recent singles. Featuring the band s second lineup i.e., no Syd Barrett , the set shows off a very potent group, their sound held together on-stage by Nick Mason s assertive drumming and Roger Waters powerful bass work, which keep the proceedings moving no matter how spaced out the music gets they also sound like they ve got the amplifiers to make their music count, which is more than the early band had. Astronomy Domine, Careful With That Axe Eugene, Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun, and A Saucerful of Secrets are all superior here to their studio originals, done longer, louder, and harder, with a real edge to the playing. The studio disc was more experimental, each member getting a certain amount of space on the record to make his own music -- Richard Wright s Sysyphus was a pure keyboard work, featuring various synthesizers, organs, and pianos David Gilmour s The Narrow Way was a three-part instrumental for acoustic and electric guitars and electronic keyboards and Nick Mason s The Grand Vizier s Garden Party made use of a vast range of acoustic and electric percussion devices. Roger Waters Grantchester Meadows was a lyrical folk-like number unlike almost anything else the group ever did.

CONDITION:
THE RECORDS:
IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded we grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight
a THE ALBUM IS STILL FACTORY SEALED AND IS BELIEVED TO BE PERFECTLY MINT. Please note: sealed items are assumed to be mint and are sold as-is, as we have no way of inspecting them. For our policy on still sealed records click here PLEASE READ BEFORE PLACING A BID .
b The records are apparently pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording
c Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording
THE COVER
COVER IS STRONG NEAR MINT, STILL SEALED AND COVERED IN ITS ORIGINAL SHRINK WRAP
