A-2U / B-2U

I am offering up for auction my UK, 1ST pressing of Pink Floyd's EPIC Animals LP, SHVL-815, on the EMI / HARVEST label. This is also the WIDE SPINE version of the outer sleeve.  It is complete with the original 9" cut-out Inner sleeve and it was my keeper copy until I recorded it to R-2-R.  The vinyl is practically in "AS NEW" condition.  It literally looks unplayed!  The audio is just fantastic!  It had to be as this is my absolute favorite Floyd LP.  The sound is clean, dynamic, quiet and tonally perfect IMHO!  Take a look at the macro shots of the labels. NO SPINDLE MARKS whatsoever.  An absolute stunning 1ST pressing copy w/the VERY 1ST MATRIX NUMBERS! (see details below).  You will not be disappointed and if you are you can return it for a full refund + shipping!  Best of Luck!
