Description
A POSSIBLY UNIQUE AND MOST STUNNING ALBUM FROM PINK FLOYD. THIS IS THEIR 1977 RELEASE
"ANIMALS". THIS IS THE VERY FIRST UK PRESS, WITH THE A2 AND B2 MATRICES. THIS ALBUM IS
TOTALLY MINT AND UNPLAYED!! THE DISC HAS BEEN NOWHERE NEAR A TURNTABLE IN ITS NEAR 39 YEAR LIFE. NEEDLESS TO SAY THE CONDITION OF THE PLAYING SURFACES ARE AS GOOD AS THE
FIRST DAY THEY LEFT THE RECORD SHOP.
THIS HAS ONLY BEEN REMOVED FROM ITS INNER TWICE. FIRST TIME TO PUT THE VINYL INTO A NON-STATIC SLEEVE, AND FINALLY TO TAKE THESE PHOTOGRAPHS.
I HAVE TRIED TO TAKE SEVERAL PICTURES FROM DIFFERENT ANGLES TO BETTER SHOW WHAT IS UP FOR
SALE. IF YOU REQUIRE ANY FURTHER PHOTOS, I WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO EMAIL YOU
WHATEVER YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE.
THIS IS THE GENUINE UK FIRST PRESS, WIDE SPINE LOUD-CUT COPY. IT HAS ALL THE CORRECT
CREDENTIALS FOR THIS, AND IS 100% MINT AND UNPLAYED.
THIS IS A BREAKDOWN OF WHAT IS ON SALE:-
THE COVER: IN EXCELLENT TO EXCELLENT PLUS CONDITION. IN IT'S EARLY LIFE, IT SAT IN A BOX
AND PICKED UP SOME MINOR STORAGE WEAR. MINUSCULE RUB TO FRONT AND EVEN LESS TO REAR.
INNER GATE-FOLD IS MINT. THE GATE-FOLD IS EVEN VERY STIFF TO OPEN, AND ONLY WANTS TO
OPEN ABOUT HALFWAY WITHOUT RESISTANCE. SOME WEAR TO BOTTOM EDGE. VERY MINOR WEAR TO
TOP EDGES. CORNERS ARE SHARP. THE TOP COUPLE OF INCHES OF THE SPINE HAVE BEEN SLIGHTLY
CRUSHED, WHICH HAS BRUISED THE OUTER PAPER. THESE ARE ALL QUITE TRIVIAL, BUT THIS IS AN
HONEST DETAILED ANALYSIS. GORGEOUS VIVID COLORS. HARD TO FIND BETTER THAN THIS.
THE INNER SLEEVE: IN EXCELLENT PLUS CONDITION. NOT A CREASE TO BE FOUND. JET BLACK WITH
ROUNDED CORNERS. THE ONLY MINUS POINT IS A ONE INCH RUB TO ONE EDGE, BUT IT HAS NOT
GONE THROUGH, IT HAS JUST BRUISED THE PAPER.
LABELS AND VINYLS: SUFFICE TO SAY THAT BOTH ARE MINT. NO MARKS, SPINDLE TRACES ETC ETC.
AS BEFITS AN ALBUM THAT IS UNPLAYED, ALL ASPECTS OF LABELS AND VINYLS ARE IN ARCHIVE
CONDITION. 39 YEARS ON THIS IS QUITE ASTOUNDING. SIMPLY PUT, YOU WILL NEVER COME
ACROSS A VINYL OF THIS AGE IN THIS CONDITION.
HOW DOES IT SOUND?: YOU TELL ME!! THAT IS IF YOU EVER DECIDE TO PLAY IT.
THAT'S ABOUT IT REALLY. THE MOST STUNNING CONDITION ALL AROUND. THIS WOULD NOT JUST
GRACE MOST COLLECTIONS; THIS WOULD GRACE ANY COLLECTION. A VERY RARE FIND AND ONE FOR
THE MOST DISCERNING COLLECTOR. PROBABLY AS RARE AS YOU COULD FIND FOR THIS CLASSIC
FLOYD ALBUM.
