Pink Floyd – Ummagumma (1969 2xLP Canadian Harvest Gatefold Pressing) - EX/NM Vintage Vinyl (STBB-388)

Catalog a monumental 1969 psychedelic/progressive double album for your archival inventory: Ummagumma by Pink Floyd. Manufactured and distributed in Canada by Capitol Records (Canada) Ltd. on classic yellow-and-green Harvest stereo labels (STBB-388), this 2-LP 12-inch stereo set pairs a live concert album—recorded at Mothers in Birmingham and Manchester College of Commerce in June 1969, produced by Pink Floyd, and engineered by Brian Humphries—with an experimental solo-showcase studio album produced by Norman Smith and engineered by Peter Mew. The tracklist spans Record 1 Live Album Side 1 ("Astronomy Domine", "Careful with That Axe, Eugene") and Side 2 ("Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun", "A Saucerful of Secrets"), alongside Record 2 Studio Album Side 3 ("Sysyphus" Parts I–IV by Richard Wright, "Grantchester Meadows" and "Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict" by Roger Waters) and Side 4 ("The Narrow Way" Parts 1, 2 & 3 by David Gilmour, "The Grand Vizier's Garden Party" Parts I–III by Nick Mason). Housed in its original gatefold sleeve featuring iconic sleeve design and photography by Hipgnosis, the front cover showcases the Droste-effect recursive band portrait, the back cover displays roadies Alan Styles and Peter Watts surrounded by the band's touring gear on a runway, and the interior gatefold opens to black-and-white portraits of Gilmour, Waters, Wright, and a multi-frame grid of Mason. Both discs are preserved in archival Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab (MoFi) Original Master anti-static inner sleeves.

Structural & Visual Inspection

• Vinyl Surfaces & Labels Condition - EXCELLENT / NEAR MINT (EX / NM): Both glossy black LPs retain deep groove luster with crisp micro-groove definition, showing only faint, non-feelable hairline sleeve marks and minor surface dust flecks under angled macro inspection. All four yellow-and-green Harvest labels—Record 1 Side 1 (STBB1-388), Record 1 Side 2 (STBB2-388), Record 2 Side 3 (STBB3-388), and Record 2 Side 4 (STBB4-388)—remain bright, clean, and legible with sharp black and green typography, minimal spindle marks, and clean center holes. Deadwax runouts clearly display stamped/etched matrix markings including STBB and 388.

• Gatefold Jacket & Inner Sleeves Integrity - VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+): Original Hipgnosis gatefold sleeve exhibits rich front cover recursive photography, crisp back cover equipment imagery and white credits, and vivid monochrome interior portraits, showing light edge rubbing along top and bottom seams, subtle ring impression, and minor corner wear with intact spine structure and no seam splits. Includes two clean Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab (MoFi) Original Master anti-static archival inner sleeves.
