Tracklisting & More Information

Background & Condition :-

The album was released on August 5, 1967 in mono and one month later it was released in stereo. The album's name comes from the title of the seventh chapter of Kenneth Grahame's 'The Wind in the Willows'!

There are significant differences between the stereo & mono mixes.

Subtle changes in effects abound, moment to moment gradations that can alter the flow of an entire track. For example, Syd Barrett’s whoops and shouts on 'Take Up Thy Stethoscope And Walk'. The coda of 'Flaming' is longer than on the mono version, as is 'The Gnome'. 'Interstellar Overdrive' is without the bongo fadeout of the mono mix and there are seriously different parts
in 'Pow R Toch H'.

The Sleeve :-

The Ernest J. Day & Co. sleeve is dated 6709, indicating the first release of the stereo version, complete with advert inner.
The sleeve is fantastic looking, with bright clear laminate, secure flipbacks, incredible off white back panel & a glorious looking spine. There is no print along the top flipback.
We would grade the cover Excellent. It's the best looking example we've seen in ages.

The Label :-

The labels are the desirable blue & black variety, with 'Sold In UK' & 'Gramophone Co' label text, & the KT tax code on side 1. There are some light spindle marks by the centre hole to show some play in the past. The matrix numbers read :

YAX 3419-1 On Side One
YAX 3420-1 On Side Two

The Disc :-

The vinyl has been professionally cleaned & grades EX/EX- with some paper hairlines & very faint axial marks which are cosmetic only in nature, although the odd spot of surface will be audible during the very quiet sections during play. This is a superb copy of a very desirable first press with a beautiful looking sleeve, highly recommended!
