Design work is a little more complicated and depends entirely on the contract drawn up at the time of the creation of the art. In most cases, if an album cover is a photograph then the photographer will own the copyright. By convention, the artist is not supposed to sell these at once.

There can also be printer's proofs which are taken for the printer to see how the image is printing, or are final impressions the printer is allowed to keep but normally the term "artist's proof" would cover both cases.Īrtist's proofs are not included in the count of a limited edition, and they belong to the artist. This is OK, as long as the sizes are distinctly different and they should be published at the same time.Īn artist's proof in modern practice is usually used to describe an impression of the finished work that is identical to the numbered copies. Sometimes limited editions are published at different sizes. There will also be Artists Proofs (APs) numbering up to a maximum of 10% of the edition, and sometimes Printer’s Proofs (PPs) which are usually kept by the printer, or Hors Commerce prints (HCs) which are used by the publisher for promotional purposes. If your print is number 70 of 295 then it really is just that: the 70th numbered print in a total edition of 295. The very nature of a limited edition print is that it is limited, forever, to the total number detailed in the original edition. If you require a precise measurement please get in touch. Listed sizes are for approximate guidance only.

Roger Waters' "Grantchester Meadows" was a lyrical folk-like number unlike almost anything else the group ever did.We know how hard it is to buy a piece of art without actually seeing it in the flesh. The studio LP was more experimental, each member getting a certain amount of space on the record to make his own music - Richard Wright's "Sysyphus" was a pure keyboard work, featuring various synthesizers, organs, and pianos David Gilmour's "The Narrow Way" was a three-part instrumental for acoustic and electric guitars and electronic keyboards, and Nick Mason's "The Grand Vizier's Garden Party" made use of a vast range of acoustic and electric percussion devices. "Astronomy Domine," "Careful with That Axe Eugene," "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun," and "A Saucerful of Secrets" are all superior here to their studio originals, done longer, louder, and harder, with a real edge to the playing. They also sound like they've got the amplifiers to make their music count, which is more than the early band had. Featuring the band's second lineup (i.e., no Syd Barrett), the set shows off a very potent group, their sound held together on-stage by Nick Mason's assertive drumming and Roger Waters' powerful bass work, which keep the proceedings moving no matter how spaced out the music gets.

The live set, recorded in Birmingham and Manchester in June 1969, is limited to four numbers, all drawn from the group's first two LPs or their then-recent singles. For many years, this double-LP was one of the most popular albums in Pink Floyd's pre-Dark Side of the Moon output, containing a live LP and a studio LP for the price of one.
