Hello, my name is Brian and I have been a vinyl fan for many years now and have always bought and sold items to feed my vinyl hunger...I have never been a dealer and this is not a business. I will always describe my items for sale as honestly and accurately as possible with plenty of clear and detailed pictures.

If you read my ebay feed back as a seller you will see that people are happy with what they receive from my auctions. I try not to waffle on about how rare an album is using silly expressions such as "AWESOME" or "IMPOSSIBLE LIKE THIS" etc etc (yawn yawn)!

I am very particular about packaging the vinyl. I use the latest design strong card mailers. The vinyl is always packaged outside of the sleeve to prevent seem splits. I am happy to post any where in the world but it must be fully insured.

The cost of postage will depend on the final selling value and the destination, so I can't advise the cost until the auction has ended.

PLEASE WAIT TO BE INVOICED

Please bid with confidence, and if for some reason you are not happy with your purchase I am happy to give a FULL refund on receiving the item back in the condition I posted it out in.

I recommend extra insurance for the more valuable items (over £40), it only costs a few pounds and is well worth it in my opinion. I will NOT post items over seas without full insurance.

I use the 'RECORD COLLECTOR' grading system with a + or - where appropriate.

so here we go.........

ARTIST.............PINK FLOYD

TITLE................ANIMALS

LABEL..............HARVEST

YEAR................1977

FORMAT..........12" VINYL LP

COUNTRY........ENGLAND

DEAD WAX INFO.

SLEEVE...........UNLAMINATED, GATEFOLD. original first printing by Garrard & Lofthouse Ltd on very heavy quality card. The back panel does NOT have the bar-code that appears on the later printing. It has the very wide spin expected on the first printing. The front panel has no stickers, no tears, no sticker residue, no repairs, no unwanted writing, There is a little gentle surface rub and some very minor edge wear. The rear panel is in the same super condition, with evidence of being 'touched-in' on the corner (see close-up picture). The top and bottom edges are in top condition, no obvious wear, no splits or tears. The opening edges have just a tiny bit of feathering at the top.The spine is very strong and square and all of the information is bright and clear. There is minor corner tip wear. The inner gatefold is in really nice condition with a small amount of surface rub. An easy EX+

INNER SLEEVE. Original printed heavy card with full size thumb slot at the top and the catalogue number in the bottom right corner. In EX+ condition.

LABELS............. Un-damaged apart from some very light spindle marks. N/MINT

VINYL................Played very few times and obviously with the greatest of care. Light hair lines , no obvious scuffs. In bright daylight it looks 'as new'. The playback is brilliant (as all Floyd recordings tend to be) super stereo separation and huge 3D sound stage, deep bass, life like vocals and crystal clear percussion. A real pleasure to sit and listen to. On side 2 there is a small and slightly more obvious mark (track 3)which does click for a few rotations but does not stick or jump. There are some very light dust crackles in the quietest parts (as with ALL vinyl). A professional clean could remove most of that. EX, EX-.

COMMENTS......Quite rare now without the bar coded sleeve, brilliant album.

Good luck bidding, Brian.
