On most copies, the Tax Code letters K and T are stamped on the label (on either on side 1 or 2) on each side of the spindle hole. Underneath the blue Columbia it reads Sold in U.K. If the artist credits extend to a second line, it is the repress. Track 1 on Side 2, (including all writing credits), should read across one line only. Please compare with the photos on this release to confirm the correct label. The Piper at the Gates of Dawn successfully captures both sides of psychedelic experimentation - the pleasures of expanding ones mind and perception, and an underlying threat of mental disorder and even lunacy this duality makes Piper all the more compelling in light of Barrett s subsequent breakdown, and ranks it as one of the best psychedelic albums of all time.īut Waters never had Barratts gift for putting words into simple binary juxtapositions - Moonshine Washing line. But even though Barrett s lyrics and melodies are mostly playful and humorous, the bands music doesnt always bear out those sentiments - in addition to Rick Wright s eerie organ work, dissonance, chromaticism, weird noises, and vocal sound effects are all employed at various instances, giving the impression of chaos and confusion lurking beneath the bright surface.
