I grew up with this on cd in the 2000’s then an early 80s stereo pressing but this version is the most exciting one I’ve ever heard easily. It is truly dynamic and full sounding. Lots of different details to take in. I switched amps and speakers and that provided a different experience too! So very worth getting this. - Edited 14 days agoThe rumors are true - the -2 / -2 master stamper created in 1978 and used for this 5th UK pressing offers some decent dynamics and separation. My ear prefers it to the 2016 remaster for its clarity, pop and general presence, but the bottom end seems a tiny bit thin. Silky analogue pressed in the late 70s is pretty hard to beat.
- You probably won't find this topping anyone's list of best Piper pressings. Sonically, it trails the Scranton Tower version in dynamics and separation. For Floyd collectors, it's often a more difficult find, which ups the asking price - just don't expect to be wowed after the needle drops. It's something to play and put away.
- A surprisingly good pressing. Nice and quite.
Sound quality is excellent. Arguably nothing new here, yet a nice collection from the Syd era. Happy to have this in the collection.
Enjoyable listen. referencing The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn (LP, Album, Reissue, Remastered, Stereo, 180 Gram) PFRLP1
Sounds very nice, the stereo image is a little bit funky side in some songs, but tolerable. A great record all arround, experimet the Syd Barret mind and the beginning of Pink Floyd. A must.- The sound on this 2nd issue is brilliant, across the spectrum. It may not be the 1st, it is however excellent value by comparison. Outshines, the 2016 version, by a mile. Lovely press.
- A rather 'soft' remix overall. The guitar on Astronomy Domine, in particular, is noticeably (and disappointingly) muted.

There are a few old mono records in my collection that really pop with great clarity and dynamics, but this one is mushy by comparison. Apparently my setup dislikes this pressing and it makes me very curious about what an original might sound like.
