I ran across this album last week in the storage "P" pile pulling the Elvis album that sold and thought to myself it was surprising that nobody had a go at my heavily discounted copy with clean vinyl but a cover ruined by a leak in the storage space ceiling that somehow made the most damage to this particular cover and not many others. I think it was toward the top of the pile when the leak happened further infuriating me since the F/G/H box had already taken a hit before I started selling the records. The P box had emerged clean but the Record Gods are fickle beasts. Some might even say Jackals of Satan!
CAPITOL-izing on the mega success of Dark Side Of The Moon, Harvest issued this repackaging of the first two Pink Floyd albums Piper At The Gates of Dawn and A Saucerful of Secrets with some crucial changes in December 1973. Just in time for Christmas.
Gone is the studio version of "Astronomy Domine" replaced by the Ummagumma version. In the original US version "Bike" and "Flaming" were left off the album. These songs are restored. However, "Flaming" first was an alternate single mix that was later restored to the original stereo on future editions. This particular release was reissued in 1975 with a sticker over offending ladyparts, hence the title. Early teenage me had a go with trying to take the back sticker off, but it was a shitshow effort to try to see those tits.
You can't really go wrong with either of these albums. They are both A+ in my book. The CD era solidified them as mass produced on their own after year of A Nice Pair being the only way you could hear this music unless you bought them on import or found the originals incased in mylar at a record convention.
Grandma is glad later editions put a sticker over the nice pair.
