Pink Floyd ?– Animals
First U.K. Pressing Harvest ?– SHVL 815
Matrix Side one: A3U Side two: B2U
Originally released Jan 1977
Overall condition is EXCELLENT
Sleeve EXCELLENT
The unlaminated,heavy card, gatefold sleeve has some very light wear to some corners and edges but otherwise is in very good condition with the colours still very bright there isn’t any writing, taping or stickers.
Spine EXCELLENT there’s only minimal edgewear and the spine is firm and totally legible but has some slight creasing.
Inner Sleeve EXCELLENT the original inner sleeve is also made from heavy card and is still clean and unmarked with the lyrics clearly readable, there is some very slight ringwear at the top on one side and a very small rub to the bottom edge.
I will also include the original plastic outer that I bought with it,although it is starting to split slightly at the top, it still fits tightly and has successfully kept the dust off for all these years
Record EXCELLENT It’s pressed on heavyweight vinyl. The record itself is clean and glossy and the disc retains its deep, black vinyl sheen.
Labels EXCELLENT The labels show minimal signs of use, have no writing and are clean with no visible spindle marking.
Audio Quality EXCELLENT The record plays really well apart from some of the usual vinyl hiss and crackle between tracks that unfortunately are just noticeable in some of the quietest passages but vanish after a few seconds and don’t detract from the overall sound, which is still amazing. although deep cleaning would probably remove them.
It lays flat on the turntable and plays well without the needle sticking or jumping.
Please remember even new, factory fresh vinyl is likely to have some clicks and pops, but the richness of sound will always be better than digital. OK eventually the robots and aliens will make digital sound as good, but until then, it’s a compromise, you have to choose;deep rich tones and a beautiful sleeve (often with lyrics or other notes) or clinical sterility with nothing to see and a narrow frequency range.
Since 1970 all my records have been played on a Pioneer PL12D with a Shure N75 ED-T2cartridge and stylus, tracking at 1.5 grams which I continue to use today – although the stylus has been replaced regularly

Summary:this ICONIC,rock masterwork album is a lovely piece of genuine memorabilia from a bygone time that changed the world,as well as the way that music is made,and would grace any collection. If you haven’t heard it on vinyl this could be for you. It certainly doesn’t sound 41yearsold. It is also the only album ever to cause an aviation emergency! (if you don’t know why, just Google it!)
I’m not a dealer of any sort, but am just downsizing and having to clear things out and trying to survive on a poxy pension. Good luck with your bidding and feel free to ask any question.
A Word About Payment and Postage
Sorry but I accept Paypal only and it will be posted as soon as payment has cleared, which must be within 24hours of the end of the auction. This may seem harsh but I’m fed up with time wasters!
I use 12" Vinyl LP Record Cruciform postal mailers and protect them with an additional layer of bubblewrap. In the UK I use RoyalMail Signed For. If you require some other form of postage/delivery,I’m more than happy providing you meet the extra costs. If you are outside the UK, I will use Ebay’s own service.
RecordCollector grading system used
MINT:The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
EXCELLENT:The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
