★★★ Pink Floyd – The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn

- is the debut studio album by English rock band Pink Floyd, released on August 4, 1967, by EMI Columbia.
It is the only Pink Floyd album to be directed by founding member Syd Barrett (lead vocals, guitar).
He wrote all but three tracks, with additional compositions by members Roger Waters (bass, vocals), Nick Mason (drums), and Richard Wright (keyboards, vocals).
The album followed the band's influential performances at London's UFO Club and their early chart success with 1967's non-album singles 'Arnold Layne' and 'See Emily Play'.

The album was recorded at EMI Studios in Abbey Road, London, from February to May 1967, and produced by Norman Smith. It combined Pink Floyd's reputation for lengthy improvisational pieces with Barrett's short pop songs and his whimsical take on psychedelic.
The album made outstanding use of recording effects such as reverb and echo, and employed tools such as EMT plate reverb, automatic double tracking (ADT), and Abbey Road's echo chamber.
During the recording sessions, Barrett's mental state progressively deteriorated due to his increasing use of the psychedelic drug LSD, eventually leading to his departure from the group the following year.
The album title was derived from chapter seven of Kenneth Grahame's 1908 children's novel The Wind in the Willows, a favorite of Barrett's.

The album was hailed as a key recording of psychedelic music.
In 2012, 'The Piper at the Gates of Dawn' ranked at number 347 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the '500 Greatest Albums of All Time' and at number 253 in 2020.
