All serious, hardcore Floyd collectors - and there are one or two - either already have this in their collections or certainly have alway PLAN to add it. Here is an extremely rare chance to do just that in an open auction. One day these things really will dry up altogether.
The vinyl is in excellent condition, the labels bright, smart clear green and white with only a tiny spidery "Diane" written, upside down, just above the word "Oranges" - thanks Di! However this looks removable to me with a simple modern eraser. Otherwise this is pretty much how it sneaked out to the industry over FORTY YEARS ago. This has the original company bag with it.
This is a total rarity, genuine rock history, and naturally very much sought after by the wide, wide world of Floyd fans.
The bands "lost" third record, as a demo, the way the band would have owned it and passed around to friends all those years ago. And, in case we overlook, such "details" it is a WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL record.

Good luck freaky Floyd friends - this is a great record and one of Syd's last wonderful parting shots to the world of pop...over to you Syd:
"It's a happy song, and it's got a touch of Christmas. It's about a girl who I saw just walking round town, in Richmond." – Syd Barrett
The starting price is low and there is no reserve.
