Pink Floyd and a dentist called ‘Mr W R Phang*’! ...(*yes, a real dentist)

Looking at what makes records collectible, we saw previously how the Rolling Stones got into trouble with Lucille Ball simply by not asking if an image could be used.  A similar thing happened to Pink Floyd; this time they didn’t even upset anyone famous yet the impact to the vinyl production/distribution was massive.  Do you have copies of these albums? ...

Back in 1973 Floyd decided to reissue their first two albums - ‘Piper at the Gates of Dawn’ and ‘Saucerful of Secrets’ - on a double set titled ‘A Nice Pair’. David Gilmour has said it was done to ensure that lost leader Syd Barrett, received some royalties for his pioneering work on ‘Piper’; this was a nice gesture from his ex-bandmates who possibly felt a little guilty for dropping him and moving on to global stardom.

As usual for Floyd, the cover was designed by Hipgnosis and featured a series of pictures some of which were puns - ‘a nice pair/pear’ on the top row (*later censored with black bars/stickers), ‘a fork in the road’, ‘a fine kettle of fish’.  But the issue came with the photo, top right, of the dental surgeon’s window - W R Phang.  This is also another typical British pun in the vein of ‘Mr Bun the Baker’, ‘Mr Salmon the Fishmonger’ - ‘Mr Phang the Dentist’.  But Floyd hadn’t banked on Mr Phang sinking his teeth into them ...

Sadly, Mr Phang took exception - it’s not clear why - and the cover was withdrawn.  Mr Phang’s picture was replaced with what looks like some type of monk (possibly scanning the skies for a Saucerful of Secrets?).  One possible reason for the objection was thought to be that dentists were not supposed to advertise, but this would be doubtful as Mr Phang hadn’t approached Floyd and would surely be considered a ‘victim’ if any dental wrong-doing was insinuated.  Whatever the reason, Mr Phang certainly missed a trick: if he had gone along with the pun, he could no doubt have opened a chain of Phang dentists, making a fortune treating Floyd fans desperate to have their teeth fixed by a Floyd-approved dentist!

Three versions of this album exist, however:  the first (the original) with the Phang photograph, the third with the photograph of the monk, and a second, intermediary version where a sticker was placed over the Phang photo to avoid having to trash lots of album covers.

In your collections, an EX/EX of the original Phang cover retails for around £50; the second version with the sticker in EX/EX retails for about the same price, and the third version with the monk-photo in EX/EX retails for £25.
