Pink Floyd: A Nice Pair (1973)

A Nice Pair is a compilation album that collects Pink Floyd's first two records, those being The Piper at the Gates of Dawn and A Saucerful of Secrets. About the scandalous cover art:

The cover is by Hipgnosis, who designed many other Pink Floyd covers, and consists of four grids of nine small images including some proposed but previously unused album cover designs. Several images depict a well-known phrase or saying in the form of a visual pun; for instance, the centre right-hand panel on the front depicts "a fork in the road", while the bottom right represents "a fine kettle of fish". Another picture presents two puns on the album title: a nice pear, and an image of a woman's pair of breasts; the latter is censored with a black bar on some copies, while other US copies opted to cover it with a purple and white sticker over the shrink wrap. Initial copies had a picture of a Mr. W.R. Phang's dental surgery on the cover (a genuine business photographed in Hammersmith, west London), but Dr. Phang objected because NHS dentists were not permitted to advertise, and the picture was replaced with one of a gargling monk. US editions from the 1980s restored both the nudity and the W.R. Phang photo. The selection of band photos on the inside cover also varies, with some copies including a photo of a shirtless, disturbed-looking Syd Barrett from The Madcap Laughs cover photo session, while others replace it with a photo of a smiling Barrett sitting by a car.

My copy is a Canadian pressing, and I would guess it's from the 1980s (but it might be an earlier copy), though Discogs does not have a date for mine. It has the restored images that had been censored by pecksniffs in the past. 

This is really a good collection to have because early copies of the first two Floyd records -- even from the 1980s -- are a challenge to find for a good price and in reasonable condition. Of course, Dark Side of the Moon was released earlier in 1973, and it represented a radical departure in sound, moving away from psychedelia to a prog rock sound. So, this was kind of a call back to earlier days. I have to assume that the record label decided to cash in on the success of Dark Side of the Moon by releasing this compilation.
