"The Piper at the Gates of Dawn" is the debut album by the English rock band Pink Floyd, and the only one made under founding member Syd Barrett's leadership. The album contains whimsical lyrics about space, scarecrows, gnomes, bicycles and fairy tales, along with psychedelic instrumental songs.
The album was initially released in 1967 by Columbia/EMI in the United Kingdom and Tower/Capitol in the United States.
The original UK LP (with a monaural mix) was released on 5 August 1967, and one month later it was released in stereophonic mix. It reached #6 on the UK charts.
The original US album appeared on the Tower Records division of Capitol Records in October 1967. This version (ST-5093, stereo; T-5093, mono) was officially titled simply Pink Floyd though the original album title did appear on the back cover as on the UK issue. The US album featured an abbreviated track listing and reached #131 on the Billboard charts. A UK single, " See Emily Play ", was substituted for "Astronomy Dominé", "Flaming", and "Bike." The Tower Records vinyl issue also faded out "Interstellar Overdrive", and broke up the segue into "The Gnome", because the songs were re-sequenced.
