The Piper at the Gates of Dawn

The Piper at the Gates of Dawn is the debut studio album by the English rock band Pink Floyd, released on 4 August 1967 by EMI Columbia. It is the only Pink Floyd album recorded under the leadership of founder member Syd Barrett (lead vocals, guitar); he was the sole writer of all but three tracks, with additional writing by members Roger Waters (bass, vocals), Nick Mason (drums), and Richard Wright (keyboards, vocals). The album followed the band's influential 1966-67 performances at London's UFO Club and their early chart success with the 1967 non-album singles "Arnold Layne" and "See Emily Play".
