DISC THIS ALBUM WAS PART OF MY EARLY COLLECTION & BEING RARELY PLAYED IS STILL IN NEAR MINT CONDITION WITH ONLY VERY MINIMAL BACKGROUND SURFACE NOISE & NO JUMPS OR BLIPS WHEN PLAYED. THE SOUND QUALITY IS VERY CRISP & CLEAR & THE DRIPPING TAP SECTION UNBLEMISHED.
COVERS THE OUTER COVER IS IN VERY GOOD CLEAN CONDITION WITH NO TEARS & ONLY VERY MINOR SCUFFING TO CORNERS. THE SPINE IS STIFF & UNBENT, BUT THE WRITNG ON IT DIFFICULT TO READ. THE INNER PROTECTIVE LINER IS CLEAN & UNTORN WITH THE POLYTHENE INSERT STILL INTACT.
THIS IS AN EXTREMELY GOOD SPECIMEN & WILL ENHANCE ANY PINK FLOYD COLLECTION. THANK YOU FOR LOOKING !
Atom Heart Mother is the fifth studio album by the English progressive rock band Pink Floyd. It was released by Harvest on 2 October 1970 in the UK, and by Capitol on 10 October 1970 in the US.[2] It was recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London, England, and was the band's first album to reach number 1 in the UK, while it reached number 55 in the US, eventually going gold there.[3] A remastered CD was released in 1994 in the UK and the United States, and again in 2011. Ron Geesin, who had already influenced and collaborated with Roger Waters, contributed to the title track and received a then-rare outside songwriting credit.
The cover was designed by Hipgnosis, and was the first one to not feature the band's name on the cover, or contain any photographs of the band anywhere. This was a trend that would continue on subsequent covers throughout the 1970s and beyond.
