Description

Please read the description below for vinyl condition (as per the Record Collector Grading System), but for most of my records the vinyl can be considered as in near mint or excellent condition, shiny and with no significant marks – basically almost as good as when it came out of the original shop. The covers vary in condition but most are excellent just showing the usual signs of storage.

The Vinyl is near mint with only a few very light hair lines that do not affect the sound. The labels are very clean with no spindle marks.

A word about hairline marks. It is almost impossible to find any non-sealed record without any hairline marks - many had them from new, particularly if sold with cardboard inner sleeves. They are a result of storage and use and have little impact on sound quality. Likewise, very few original vinyl records lie totally flat. As for background noise, all records will have some background noise which varies wildly and often reflects the very variable pressing quality. I have bought new heavy pressing LP's in recent years and many of the original records I am selling not only look better but they sound better! I only draw attention to marks, warping or background noise in my listings if I consider them significant.

This album is Pink Floyd's classic "Animals" LP on the EMI Harvest label SHVL 815. This is many a hard core Pink Floyd fan's favourite Floyd album and it is not hard to see why.

Matrix marks A-2U/B-2U which marks this out as a VERY FIRST Great Britain original pressing. Picture labels, non-barcode gatefold sleeve printed by "Garrod & Lofthouse", card inner with rounded edges, large thumb notch at top and catalogue number on bottom right of inner.

Vinyl grading is Excellent/Near Mint according to the Record Collector Grading System - it appears to have received moderate careful play. It has the odd hairline but overall the vinyl looks glossy and there is nothing that affects play in any significant way.

Test played superbly on my Linn turntable with dynamic sound. Low level background noise was only apparent behind the quieter sections of the music and did not detract from my enjoyment - there were no audible major clicks or pops.

The original Garrod & Lofthouse sleeve and inner are in excellent condition. thick card, wide spine with just minor wear - one of the best I have seen.

Overall, a very nice FIRST PRESSING of this classic Pink Floyd album.

I dispatch worldwide in reinforced heavy duty LP mailers with cardboard reinforcements either side.
