Pink Floyd
Piper at the Gates of Dawn

Pink Floyds debut album, Piper at the Gates of Dawn, released in August 1967 and is the only Pink Floyd album under Syd Barretts leadership.

The genre of music would be today described as Psychedelic rock and space rock.

The title Piper at the Gates of Dawn comes from a book by Kenneth Graham called Wind in the Willows.

EMI released the album in mono as well as stereo. If you have a very good condition of Piper at the Gates of Dawn in Mono then its worth decent money.

Piper at the Gates of Dawn has eleven tracks but strangly enough does not contain the two hit singles, Arnold Lane and See Emily play. For these two tracks see Relics.

Piper at the Gates of Dawn was being recorded at the same time in Abbey Road studios as the Beatles Sgt Pepper album. It was produced by Abbey Roads engineer Norman Smith who, as you can imagine hadn't a clue what Pink Floyd was all about haveing been used to producing middle of the road acts like Matt Monroe Peter Sellers etc. Neveless he did a great job considering.

Piper at the Gates of Dawn received good reviews when it was released and has since been considered one of the most influential albums of all time by many of the top music magazines including Q and Rolling Stone.

Pink Floyd Quotes

“When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown,
The dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb.”

“Hey you, out there in the cold
Getting lonely, getting old
Can you feel me?
Hey you, standing in the aisles
With itchy feet and fading smiles
Can you feel me?
Hey you, dont help them to bury the light
Don't give in without a fight.”

“Strangers passing in the street
By chance two separate glances meet
And I am you and what I see is me.
And do I take you by the hand
And lead you through the land
And help me understand
The best I can”

"And then one day you find
Ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run
You missed the starting gun"

"Long you live and high you fly
Smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
All you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be.
