Pink Floyd - The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn (1967 Japan White Label Test Press) | Full Vinyl Rip

Here’s my 1967 Japanese white label test pressing of Pink Floyd - The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn, released on Odeon Records (OP-8229). This rare early copy was pressed before the December 5, 1967 retail release to evaluate cutting quality and sequencing. It features the minimal purple Odeon label with stamped catalog number - often mistaken for a promo, but this one was never distributed publicly. Many collectors confuse these with Japanese promos (which used the standard blue Odeon labels with red “見本盤” text). This version predates those and represents the earliest known production stage of the album in Japan. Pink Floyd’s debut album stands as one of the defining statements of 1960s British psychedelic rock. Syd Barrett’s songwriting mixes whimsical pop and surreal experimentation, capturing the sound of London’s underground era. Recorded at Abbey Road Studios, it remains a cornerstone of the genre. Ripped from my stereo test pressing. The tracklist on this Japanese test pressing differs from both the UK and US first pressings. It follows the complete 11-track UK lineup but adds “See Emily Play” as a bonus track at the end. The UK version never included the single, and the US release replaced and rearranged several songs, opening with “See Emily Play” while omitting “Astronomy Domine,” “Flaming,” and “Bike.” This Japanese test pressing is the only version from 1967 to feature all twelve songs together. 📷 More vinyl on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vinyl_piper/ 🎧 Full Vinyl Rips playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj0yF7-9YQ9pEOi1yCUyAZikNmWVdz8Hn Timestamps 00:00 Astronomy Domine 04:01 Lucifer Sam 07:01 Matilda Mother 10:03 Flaming 12:42 Pow R.
