Pink Floyd — Ummagumma

1969 UK First Press · Harvest SHDW 1/2 · Stereo Double LP

Put on the live LP and you get the long, spacious performances that made early Pink Floyd such a distinctive live band. Flip to the studio LP and each member takes the music in a different direction, from the quiet of “Grantchester Meadows” to the shifting moods of “The Narrow Way”. It is an album that rewards listening a side at a time.

For collectors, this copy has the early Harvest labels, the Hipgnosis gatefold with the Gigi artwork visible on the front, and two of the little printing quirks that make the first UK issue so recognisable.
