Pink Floyd  "Meddle"  Harvest SHVL 795  UK 2nd press Vinyl, LP, housed in a gate-fold sleeve and reissued in 1974.
The vinyl has a few surface scuffs, but played through on my elderly stereo with only an occasional crackle between tracks, and no persistent click, stick or jump. It is housed in a textured, gate-fold sleeve, which has some faint ring-wear, but is otherwise in good shape - no rips or writing. The spine is intact and legible.

"Meddle" is Pink Floyd's sixth studio album, originally released by Harvest Records in 1971. The album was produced between the band's touring commitments, from January to August 1971 at a series of locations around London, including Abbey Road Studios and Morgan Studios.
With no material to work with and no clear idea of the album's direction, the band devised a series of novel experiments which eventually inspired the album's signature track "Echoes". Although the band's later albums would be unified by a central theme with lyrics written entirely by Roger Waters, "Meddle" was a group effort with lyrical contributions from each member, and is considered a transitional album between the Syd Barrett-influenced group of the late 1960s and the emerging Pink Floyd. The cover has been explained by its creator Storm Thorgerson to be an ear underwater; as with several previous albums designed by Hipgnosis, though, Thorgerson was unhappy with the final result.
The album was well received by critics upon its release, and was commercially successful in the United Kingdom, but lacklustre publicity on the part of the band's American label Capitol Records led to poor sales there upon initial release.
