A Saucerful Of Secrets

Pink Floyd · 1969 · Vinyl-LP · GB · SCX 6258

This is the first version with the black and silver label. The label has the "Sold In U.K. Subject To Retail Price Conditions" text at the bottom of the label - this was removed from UK records mid 1969 so this issue cannot be later than that. The All Rights etc. text around the rim of the label begins with The Gramophone Co Ltd rather than EMI Records. It was issued in an identical sleeve to the original 1968 blue and black label issue i.e. flip-back sleeve with "File Under Popular" printed top right corner on rear of sleeve, Garrod & Lofthouse printer credit with the 6807 date code although it was obviously issued at a slightly later date. There is only one EMI box at 6 o'clock on the label, later versions had two. As originally issued it came with an EMI "Patents Applied For" paper inner advertising other EMI lps.
