PINK FLOYD, ANIMALS, 1977 UK HARVEST *1st PRESS* 2U/2U

 

Here for auction is an exceptional example of the iconic album by PINK FLOYD titled “ANIMALS”, Catalogue Number SHVL 815. This is an ORIGINAL 1977 * UK FIRST PRESSING* on the HARVEST RECORD LABEL with THE EARLIEST A-2U and B-2U Matrix Numbers. Complete with genuine 1st issue “WIDE-SPINE” GATEFOLD SLEEVE and 1st issue lyric inner sleeve with rounded corners.

 

The *1st issue* gatefold sleeve, printed and made in England by Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd., is in Near Mint condition (strictly graded). Apart from the lightest traces of storage wear, it’s pretty much as it left the printers. You can see from the photos that this one is an absolute stunner and will never need to be upgraded!

 

The beautiful Harvest record retains a deep, mirror-like shine and sits flat and true on the turntable. It is visually in EX condition, and has only been played a few times on top quality equipment.

 

PLAYGRADE ASSESSMENT:

This is a particularly loud-cut and vibrant Harvest 1st pressing which sounds sensational played at loud volume. Both sides play to a very high standard. All frequencies are crystal clear and there is no discernable deterioration in sound quality. Several of the tracks have quiet introductions and passages which are easily ruined by excessive surface sound. Not on this copy – all play beautifully with barely any unwanted noise at all. A significantly better playing 1st press copy may be very difficult to find!!

 

Complete with the correct 1st issue thick card lyric inner sleeve which is also in EX+ condition.
