Description
This sale is for the (Harvest Records 1st issue) Pink Floyd album, Animals, complete with printed inner sleeve, (see photo). The album formed part of my collection in the 1970s, was bought by me, and has only been owned by me. It has never been on loan to anyone else as I did not really trust others to look after my albums as I did, therefore it is in really good condition considering it's age.
VINYL There are a minimal amount of extremely slight spindle marks on the labels when viewed against the light, however the vinyl itself is in excellent condition with very few slight hairline surface marks barely noticeable to my eye, most likely caused by the card inner sleeve. I have played both sides of the album through high quality headphones, and I did not detect any loud clicks or jumps except for one audible non repeating click near to the beginning of side two.
SLEEVES The outer sleeve is in good condition, however showing some storage wear to the edges and also one edge of the front cover has come apart due to the glue drying out (see photo), the inner sleeve is of the cardboard type and as such shows the impression of where the LP has been sitting, also with normal wear to the edges, otherwise it too is in good condition.
SHIPPING I will ship this album, together with the original outer and inner sleeve in a 12" cardboard LP mailer. To further protect the album it will also be inside a new anti static inner sleeve (see footnotes), bubble wrapped and two cardboard stiffeners applied.
Please note, postage cost is based on the actual Royal Mail charge plus £1.50 packaging costs.
PAYMENT I only accept PayPal.
I don't like to describe my vinyl albums by use of grading systems or by visual inspection only as I think these methods can sometimes be too varied or convoluted, open to interpretation, and consequently may lead to confusion over the true condition of the album, therefore I prefer to just give my honest opinion of what I have for sale. Close up images of the album and sleeves have been provided to compliment my description while also bringing attention to any worn areas of the sleeves etc. I am not an expert on matrix numbers, and any information I give relating to them with regard to first pressings or first issue etc. is gained entirely from the internet, so please decide for yourself. I always try to give all legible matrix numbers and etchings where possible.
FIRST ISSUE INFORMATION FROM - pinkfloydarchives.com
MATRIX NUMBERS PRINTED ON THE DEAD ZONE OF THIS ALBUM ARE AS FOLLOWS:
Side 1 SHVL 815 A 2U 2 Side 2 SHVL 815 B 3U 2
FOOTNOTES HDPE POLYETHYLENE (POLY-LINED ) sleeves have major advantages over paper inner ones as paper can mark the vinyl, also open center holes allow dust to enter. As for the poly inner itself you need to ensure that its not PVC which is produced with artificial softeners that can leach onto the vinyl. HDPE poly-lined sleeves have no softeners at all and have a melting point of 130c, copes well with high humidity and is stable in most heating conditions.
Thanks for looking.
