Up for auction we have a copy of Animals by Pink Floyd.

Animals is the tenth studio album by English progressive rock group Pink Floyd, released in January 1977. A concept album, it provides a scathing critique of the social-political conditions of 1970s Britain, and presents a marked change in musical style from their earlier work. Animals was recorded at the band's studio, Britannia Row, in London, but its production was punctuated by the early signs of discord that several years later would culminate in keyboardist Richard Wright leaving the band. The album's cover image, a pig floating between two chimneys on Battersea Power Station, was conceived by bassist and writer Roger Waters, and photographed by long-time collaborators Hipgnosis.

The album was released to generally positive reviews in the United Kingdom (UK), where it reached #2. It was also a success in the United States (US), reaching #3 on the Billboard 200, and although it scored on the American charts for only six months, steady sales have resulted in its certification by the RIAA at four times platinum. The size of the venues on the band's In the Flesh tour, and an incident in which Waters spat at a fan, prompted him to conceive the band's subsequent album, The Wall.

Notes On Condition- I am not a record dealer and have no experience grading records, so I am doing the best I can to honestly and accurately describe the condition of the item to you.I will NOT attempt to play the records, and I will NOT attempt to 'grade' the records according to any standard. I leave all grading to YOU, the experts. Rather I will describe what visual clues I see, example would be "some scratches and scuffing" etc. Reading what more established record dealers state in their descriptions I will adapt into my disclaimer as follows: Most vintage records that have been played will have some crackles you hear during playing or possibly some surface wear.  Therefore consider the item “AS IS” a final sale item but understand the item will in fact be honestly described to the best of  my ability and hopefully will be what you expected.

Condition:  Sleeve has a lot of shelf wear. Record itself has minor general surface wear which may or may not make noise.
