The original mono mix of Pink Floyd’s second studio album, 1968’s A Saucerful of Secrets, will be reissued on vinyl next month.
It features classics like ‘Set the Controls For The Heart Of The Sun’, ‘Remember a Day’ and ‘Jugband Blues’, and is of course the only album to feature all five members: Roger Waters, Richard Wright, Nick Mason, Syd Barrett and David Gilmour.
The mono mix was remastered in 2019, by James Guthrie, Joel Plante, and Bernie Grundman using the 1968 analog tapes. At that time the mono vinyl reissue was a limited edition for Record Store Day 2019 (limited to 6500 copies).
