PINK FLOYD Animals (1977 first Italian issue 5-track LP, the band's tenth studio album based on the conditions of British society in the seventies & loosely influenced by George Orwell's Animal Farm. The matrices read '98434-A-7-1-77' / '98434-B-30-12-76' indicating a first issue (later pressings had '78' or '81' stampers, referring to the year), housed in a gatefold sleeve with 'Made In Italy by EMI Italiana S.P.A.' print on the back & lyric card inner. The sleeve does display some general storage wear, mostly around the edges, with some paper loss to the bottom of the spine & a little area within the gatefold & although the vinyl reveals light foxing on the labels & a few light blemishes, these are largely cosmetic. A difficult pressing to find!)
