Pink Floyd: The piper at the gates of dawn 2007



40th Anniversary Edition

It's hard to believe that Pink Floyd's debut album came out 40 years ago. But it's true. While Floyd has undergone many changes in that timeframe--most notably the breakdown of Syd Barrett, the bitter fallout between Roger Waters and David Gilmour, and plenty of other drama and mysticism to insure the band's place in the pantheon of rock 'n roll history—the album still sounds fresh and vibrant, at least in terms of capturing the sound and style of 1967 era London. If you've never listened to The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn, then you're definitely in for a treat. For the 3-disc set (which is really the way to go if you're going to splurge on the 40th Anniversary edition or if you've never owned the album prior) Disc's 1 and 2 present the album in its original mono, as well as a stereo version, respectively. Disc 3, meanwhile, serves up the group's earlier singles and some out/alternate takes of a few songs.
