Notes
Please check carefully the existing vinyl releases before adding new releases to the database to avoid duplicates. There are many slightly different versions of this release, and especially the reissues / reprints with black Columbia labels from late 60's to early 70's are hard to tell apart. Some advice can be found in Pink Floyd Archives website, even though it is not official and can't be referred to as a source. Different coloured vinyl "Columbia" reissues with cat.# SCX 6157 are all unofficial releases.

does anyone else's come with a weird super clear poly-lined inner sleeve? Is my record safe in this sleeve? Thanks

If you think this masterpiece is anything less than 5 stars then you need to get your brain scanned!!!!!!!!

3 attempts but finally a winner.
1st... badly non filled and sounded pure nasty.
2nd... scuffed/scratched all over not as offensive as 1st but not acceptable
3rd... well done Optimal its like a pre covid cut... flat and zero defects and plays with no noise.
Mastering.... for me its vastly superior to the mono release which sounds shrill and lacking in atmosphere compared to this wonderful stereo remaster. At the end of the day this is some far out LSD trip of a record, the whimsy of it only making it madder still. To rob it of the panning and echo effects which are almost entirely lost in mono serves to rob the record of 50% of what makes it great.
In my opiodinion 🤪

Be prepared to be FLOORED by this pressing. You’d swear that incarnation of the Floyd was performing the entire album your living room as you’re listening to it.

Really nice pressing! Plays crisp and clear, zero surface noise.

Like many people have said, you pay for the condition over any other aspect of this release. The 1st mono versions absolutely trump any other stereo mixes, but requires somewhat quiet + clean audio to feel the full effect. Completely fills the room, a classic piece of musical history.

This is my first time owning this album. Nice sounding lp, and very quiet press.

My copy is flat, no dust, no noise, no cracks, no pops, no static, and played directly, from sleeve to turntable (any cleaning operation)
And great mastering and sound.
And great mastering and sound.

Almost identical release to the expensive early UK pressing of the same year, including laminated flipback cover, black emi labels and great sound. A very good alternative to enjoy this essencial classic in its original way. Highly recommended.
