 For the benefit of those of you who aren't Discogs members, and therefore can't see the submission history, I'll paste below the submitter's notes that have since been removed from the front page of the entry:

"Notes.
This is a very special version of The Piper at The Gates of Dawn from the early 1970s, which had a very rare and strange black label from Parlophone. Like the other EMI labels, in 1964 the famous phrase "Sold in the UK subject to retail price conditions. See price lists", mainly to show that this was an original pressing, then removed after 1969, when the label changed to the classic black with silver lettering. Unfortunately, during this period Parlophone lost some of its most important contracts to the newcomer Harvest Records and migrated under the name of "The Grammophone Company Ltd" to Columbia Records. This piece, from in-depth research, is a so-called "mixed record": the cover was printed in England, in the Columbia plants, and in fact it does not differ at all from the first English editions, probably in 1971: the label motif is in fact in line with both the English covers of that time, and with the Parlophone label motif (the motif is the so-called "PCS-Series 2", i.e. dating back to the period 1968/1975). Instead, the Parlophone label was printed in Kenya, in a factory near Nairobi, specifically for the local market and for export to Africa and Europe. The proof is that my copy has a red sticker on the back, with the words "Assanand & Sons The Music Shop Nairobi", which was the distributor of the records in Kenya; moreover, two copies out of three in existence were purchased in Nairobi. This is a very rare record, perhaps one of the rarest in Floyd history, though little known even to collectors themselves, only two copies are known to be in circulation. The pressing of this copy took place in Kenya, in the early 1970s, most likely either by EA Records, Associated Sound, or Sapra: EMI had no pressing facilities in Kenya at that time and relied alternately on these three companies. The characteristics of the ring-groove would point unequivocally towards EA Records. EMI UK opened an office in Nairobi in 1966, but it was a coordinating office for the distribution of records in East Africa. As far as the label on the vinyl is concerned, it is very likely that "basic labels" were sent from the UK with only the "Parlophone" brand and the rim-text: all the rest of the text was added during pressing in Kenya. It may also have happened that labels that were already completely filled in were sent from the UK to Kenya. Both procedures were often adopted at that time, in order to allow the printing of editions from various foreign countries. However, the type of typeface used would clearly suggest the former. As for the cover, it was printed in the United Kingdom and then sent to Kenya. "Assanand & Sons" is the name of the distribution company in Kenya. Otherwise, everyone agrees that this is an extremely rare and previously undocumented print, and the fact that it still has the original distributor's name sticker adds to its collector's value. Associated Sound was owned by Gallo Records and had the capacity to press a total of about 10,000 vinyls per year, and until 1970 it appears to have been EMI's most popular plant for pressing vinyl for the East African market. From 1970 onwards, coinciding with the change of name from "EMI ltd." to "EMI Nairobi ltd", EMI's most used plant became EA Records which was a subsidiary of Phonogram. In September 1973, EMI outsourced the pressing to Sapra for about three years. In 1977, pressing was again in the hands of EA Records."

 Labels seem to be the same as the Kenya issue in Discogs, apparently pressed in Kenya by EA Records, which was a Phonogram subsidiary.

 Label-style with the boxed EMI-logo. I think that pressing is not from 1967.
