PINK FLOYD

Title : Atom Heart Mother      Label : Harvest      Cat No : SHVL 781     

Matrix : A- 1G / B-1G      Issue : UK Complete 1st Press No EMI

This is the UK 1st press of 'Atom Heart Mother' by Pink Floyd. This is a genuine 1st press with no EMI logo and 'The Gramophone Co Ltd'  and 'Made In Gt Britain' rim text. It has the very earliest matrix 1G/1G endings. It is complete with the original earliest 1st press Garrod & Lofthouse sleeve. Printed on the inside of the sleeve is the Patent number text and ‘ 7010.' This 1st press sleeve is also on a slightly different grade of card and has a different look and feel to later presses.

The record is in Very Good+ condition. The vinyl is jet black with a sensational gloss, there are just a couple of very light marks and a few wispy hairlines on both sides. There are no heavy marks and certainly none that will significantly affect the sound quality.

The label is Excellent. The green is exceptionally bright and clean and the text is sharp. There is the slightest spindle wear. The label clearly displays 'The Gramophone Co Ltd' and 'Made In Gt Britain' rim text and there is No EMI logo. 

On playing the sound is Excellent. The sound is bold, vibrant and extremely sharp. There are moments of slight background hiss, but the vinyl still has exceptional audio separation and the original rich, clear sound. 

The Garrod & Lofthouse gatefold cover is in Very Good+ condition. The colours are superb and the image is sharp. The inside is the same as the day it was pressed, perfect. There is a little corner and very light edge wear. The whole sleeve is solid and the spine is firm.
