ReviewsRanked #40 in Mojo's "The 50 Most Out There Albums Of All Time" - "Thirty eight years on, there's nothing like it...", "'Astronomy Domine' is an early showing of the band’s space rock tendencies. With Syd Barrett at the helm, 'Astronomy Domine' is suitably psychedelic sounding...", 5 stars out of 5 -- "These Edward Lear-ish messages from the mind of Syd Barrett served as a reminder to even The Beatles...that pop is at its best when it's headed into the unknown.", Ranked #55 in Q's "100 Greatest British Albums", 4.5 stars out of 5 - "...a masterpiece of the psychedelia genre....the golden achievement of Syd Barrett....a milestone in what soon would be called 'head music'...", Included in Q Magazine's Best Psychedelic Albums of All Time, 5 Stars - Indispensable - "...PIPER AT THE GATES OF DAWN is, even counting SGT. PEPPER, possibly the defining moment of English psychedelia and Syd Barrett's magnum opus; strange, sad, and a record that all should own..."
Item arrived early and was just as described - mint condition and still i its original wrapping. Absolutely delighted with this and would recommend this seller. Have yet to listen to all of the tracks, but know a lot of them from elsewhere - and from visiting the Pink Floyd exhibition at the V&A - a most amazing visual and auditory experience. Cannot recommend highly enough.
