PINK FLOYD - ATOM HEART MOTHER - ORIGINAL FIRST PRESSING1970 VINYL IN EXCELLENT CONDITION
HARVEST RECORDS, CAT NO: SHVL 781 - MATRIX NUMBERS A-2G GD/B-3 GR (NO EMI LOGO)
THIS IS A FIRST PRESSING COPY OF THE PINK FLOYD CLASSIC 1970 ALBUM ATOM HEART MOTHER. IT IS PRESSED ON HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL BY HARVEST RECORDS, HAS LOW MATRIX NUMBERS AND CLEAN LABELS WITHOUT THE “EMI” LOGO WHICH WAS ON LATER COPIES.
(ALTHOUGH THE MATRIX NUMBERS A-2 AND B-3 APPEAR ON THE VINYL DEADWAX, THIS IS A GENUINE FIRST PRESSING AND ONE OF THE FINAL RUN OF FIRST PRESSINGS BEFORE THE LATER MATRIX AND STAMPER NUMBERS A-2 GO1/B-3 T1 WERE USED TO DENOTE A SECOND PRESSING.)
SOUNDS COMPLICATED?: PLEASE GO TO THIS WEBSITE FOR AN EXPLANATION AND SEE ENTRY 43 UNDER DISCOGRAPHIES "FIRST PRESSINGS".

VINYL: BOTH SIDES ARE BRIGHT AND CLEAN WITH A DEEP LUSTRE TO THE VINYL, WHICH HAS OBVIOUSLY BEEN WELL CARED FOR DOWN THE YEARS.
SIDE ONE PLAYS WITHOUT ANY AUDIO FAULTS AT ALL. THERE ARE NO MARKS OR SCUFFS, NO BACKGROUND NOISE, DISTORTION OR INTERFERENCE OF ANY KIND AND RATES AS EX.
SIDE TWO IS ALSO EXCELLENT, AND PLAYS WITHOUT ANY SERIOUS ISSUES.THERE IS ONE LIGHT CLICK FOR A FEW REVOLUTIONS IN ONE OF THE QUIET PASSAGES OF “ALAN’S PSYCHEDELIC BREAKFAST”, WHICH HAS LONG QUIET SECTIONS. BUT THERE ARE NO SKIPS, STICKS OR LOUD POPS AND OVERALL SIDE TWO RATES A STRONG EX-.
SIDE TWO ENDS WITH THE "DRIPPING TAP" RUN-OUT GROOVE, ANOTHER INDICATOR OF A GENUINE EARLY PRESSING.
LABELS: EXCELLENT. NO WRITING OR MARKS, NO EMI LOGO, ALL TEXT CORRECT AND CONSISTENT WITH A 1970 FIRST PRESSING RELEASE, NICE BRIGHT COLOURS AND ONLY LIGHT SPINDLE TRACES.
OUTER SLEEVE: VERY GOOD+. GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE GATEFOLD SLEEVE, EARLIEST VERSION WITH PATENT NUMBER PRINTED ON THE LOWER LEFT INNER GATEFOLD - LATER ISSUES DO NOT HAVE THIS.
GENERALLY BOTH OUTSIDE SURFACES ARE IN GOOD SHAPE WITH NO MAJOR CREASING, WRITING OR MARKS.
THE SPINE IS INTACT AND READABLE, ALTHOUGH THERE IS SOME SCUFFING FROM STORAGE. THE INNER GATEFOLD IS VERY CLEAN WITH NO WRITING, CREASING, OR
MARKS.
INNER SLEEVE: ORIGINAL POLY-LINED ANTI STATIC WHITE PAPER WITH RECORD CARE ADVICE PRINTED ON ONE SIDE, NO SEAM SPLITS, SERIOUS CREASING OR WRITING.
OVERALL - EXCELLENT VINYL, ONE OF THE BEST I HAVE SEEN IN RECENT YEARS, AND IT PLAYS BEAUTIFULLY!
THE COVER IS VG+ AND NOT PERFECT, BUT VERY FEW ORIGINAL 1970 COVERS HAVE SURVIVED WITHOUT SOME STORAGE WEAR.
