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 has some notableedgewear and general storage wear; the vinyl has a few light surface scuffs and hairlines. A respectable copy of this difficult to find pressing)
