Description

PINK FLOYD Atom Heart Mother (Harvest SHVL 781) RARE UK 1st Press No EMI MINT-
RARE first UK pressing of Pink Floyd`s "Atom Heart Mother", released on Harvest Records (October 1970). 
"I was listening through earphones, and so three-dimensional and realistic were the sounds that I took off the phones to see who was breaking in. I couldn't believe it to be part of the record. Once I got over that, though, it was the same insubstantial melange as the rest of the record. If Pink Floyd is looking for some new dimensions, they haven't found them here."  - Alec Dubro, Rolling Stone - December 10, 1970.
GRADING:
EX+ COVER. Unlaminated first UK pressing gatefold sleeve with light wear. Please see photos for details.
- Light record imprint on rear sleeve (at top).
- Some creasing along the spine, front and back.
- Minimal wear (scuffing) to bottom edge.

EX++ RECORD, carefully played a few times. Near-perfect audio reproduction throughout. 
- Two or three superficial hairlines from sleeve removal only.
- A bit of sporadic background crackle in the run-in and between tracks.
- Original UK first-pressing Harvest Records labels, pre-EMI box, with "The Gramophone Co. Ltd." and "Made in Gt. Britain" lettering.
- The matrix stamps in the run-off grooves read "SHVL 781 A-1 G" and "SHVL 781 B-1 G", indicating a very first UK pressing.
- Mothers/Stampers: "1 / G T" on Side One and "2 / G L" on Side Two.
- This record is fully certified to be an original UK first pressing of "Atom Heart Mother", released in October 1970.

PLEASE NOTE: Not to be compared with the more-often-than-not substandard vinyl on offer on eBay UK, this item is in honestly-graded EX+ to MINT- condition. You will NOT find another original first pressing of "Atom Heart Mother" as nice as this one - especially at this bargain price: "True value for money" is the motto!
