Pink Floyd – Animals – Progressive Rock Vinyl LP – Carrollton Pressing

$

36

This was one of Pink Floyd’s most socio-politically scathing musical statements.  It is said to have been at least loosely based on George Orwell’s “Animal Farm”.  The album was commercially and critically acclaimed and has remained one of the group’s most popular and sought after albums ever.  The album was released on Columbia, number JC 34474.  This is a repress of the album originally released in 1977.  I believe this is the very desirable Carrollton pressing.  The matrix runout numbers are (HXPY) P AL-34474 -G2F 15 on side one and LB-AP7 BL 34474 G2D on side two.  I don’t know the year it was released.  The vinyl is in absolutely beautiful condition with its bright original luster and just a couple of very light surface scratches that do not impact play.  It plays with almost no background noise.  The vinyl grades a strong VG+.  The gatefold album cover features incredible artwork and photographs, including the iconic flying pig on the front of the cover.  It shows very light ring wear and light corner and edge wear including some scraping, or possibly light water damage just around the bottom right corner.  All seams are sharp, tight, and intact.   The original inner sleeve with lyrics is included.  The cover grades VG+.

Grading Information

I only use four grades in my grading:  NM, VG+, VG, and G.  The only exception is a sealed album which is presumed to have vinyl in mint condition.  My NM grading means that the vinyl looks and plays as though it is the first time out of the sleeve.  The VG+ rating is used on any album that plays great but has one or two small defects.  It may have a pop here and there or some occasional background static.  On a VG album you can expect that, typically, this album will play great, but you’ll see more defects on this than your VG+ rated album.   Most often the VG rated album may even play well enough to be graded VG+, but the color or blemishes drop the grading.  Likewise, you may occasionally find an album that looks almost NM but the sound quality just isn’t there.  That’s why I play every album first, because this does happen.  In this case the vinyl will be graded VG.  Very occasionally I will list an album with a grade of G.  This is one where I consider the collectible value of the album to be great enough that the copy being presented is worth having as a filler copy. 

Shipping Information – Combined Shipping

Canada shipping is calculated based on weight using US Postal Service rates.  Combined shipping is also welcomed here and does result in significant per-album cost savings. Canada shipping rates have gone up dramatically. The first album will be shipped for $16.  Additional albums will be shipped for $4 per album, with up to five albums able to be shipped before we need to use International Priority shipping.  At that point we will work together on final determination of shipping cost. 

The Canada cost determination also applies for all other International shipping, except that the first album is shipped for $21 and each subsequent is just an additional $5.00. 

All albums will be shipped in specially designed album hard cardboard mailers with a cardboard insert to prevent damage upon opening.  The vinyl is removed from the cover and presented in a new poly sleeve.  I am committed to one day turnaround on shipments.  If I receive payment before 7:00 AM Central Time I will package and ship that same day.  Payment by PayPal is preferred.
