SUPER Nice, VERY RARELY played (See Details Below), Original 1977 Issue >> This was one of THE most difficult LPs to find 'sealed' during my prolonged search. I never found an original U.S. 'sealed' copy but I did eventually find this beauty... and it's one of the very rare previously-opened LPs that I admitted to my collection.
Check out all Seven photos to see this issue of PINK FLOYD 'Animals' LP (Columbia Records #JC 34474 with stamps in the deadwax/runout zones: "AL 34474-2B" / "BL 34474-2B") featuring "Pigs On The Wing (Part One)", "Dogs", "Pigs (Three Different Ones)", "Sheep", and "Pigs On The Wing (Part Two)". I bought it last year because of it's amazingly pristine condition >> it was still in it's original shrinkwrap but it had been opened by the seller, who was the original owner. I initially had plans to keep it as part of my listening library but I haven't owned a turntable in a few years & it will probably be a while before I buy a new one. I've been surfing eBay for two years and have built up a collection of over 400 cherry-picked vintage LPs (99.9% factory sealed and just a VERY few pristine, previously-played gems) and I've decided to sell them (I have about 80 left).
>> VINYL CONDITION:
Shimmering lighter-weight vinyl is in as near to factory-fresh condition as can be. Only a VERY few, miniscule, light whisper marks on the label near the center hole (& I worked at trying to find any at all). The vinyl has a few little zones of light ghost-anomalies (as superficial as it gets) that will probably disappear with the lightest of cleanings. I don't see any scratches nor anything that will affect the audio.
>> COVER CONDITION:
Beautiful, Medium-Gloss Gatefold Cover looks perfect except for one small corner-bump at the lower right and the smallest reportable wear to the very corner tips; NO hairline crease-wrinkles (rare for older gatefolds); NO discoloration, NO water damage, NO cutouts, punch holes, nor writing; NO promo stamps; NO seam splits; spine print is slightly off-centered; NO Record Club; NO Barcode.
>> Paperboard inner sleeve has seam split on one edge and the beginnings of it on another edge.
>> Original shrinkwrap sticker will be tucked away inside the cover.
IMPORTANT: Buyer pays for shipping >> Media Mail is $4.00. Save $$$ on multiple item shipping: I use two types of good boxes: 13 x 13 x 1 1/2" (holds 4-5 single LPs and it's $4 Media Mail for the first LP & 50 cents for each additional LP up to the box capacity) and 13 x 13 x 3" (holds about 7-9 single LPs and it's $6.00 Media Mail for the first LP & 50 cents for each additional LP up to the box capacity). I can also ship outside the continental U.S. but that usually gets a little expensive so please keep that in mind.
