Featuring the striking cover image of a pig floating above London's Battersea power station, Animals from 1977 provides an analysis of the social-political society of 1970's Britain, and was also created as a response to the punk rock movement of the time. This subreddit is private as part of a joint protest to Reddit's recent API changes, which breaks third-party apps and moderation tools, effectively forcing users to use the official Reddit app. Animals is a concept album, focusing on the social-political conditions of mid-1970s Britain, and was a change from the style of the band’s earlier work.

The disc itself feels solid, not like the wibbly-wobbly thin things of the (oil crisis) 1970s/1980s, and as it's a relatively short album the grooves have room to breathe, resulting in proper bass - plus plenty of room to lower your stylus at the start of a side; ideal for those of us who have a bit of the shakes when hand cueing. For items that are dispatched using our standard service, we ask that you wait 14 days from the date of dispatch before reporting any items as undelivered.

The successful album peaked at number 2 in the UK and number 3 in the US, and is considered as one of the band's best works. It was recorded at the band's Britannia Row Studios in London throughout 1976 and early 1977, and was produced by the band themselves. CD - Original studio album, digitally remastered by James Guthrie and reissued with newly designed Digipak and a new 12 page booklet designed by Storm Thorgerson. If finding a first pressing for your collection of this fantastic album is difficult for you or you want a remastered version to just listen to, then this reissue is a phenomenal treat.

In hindsight this is probably as good a punk record as any produced by the rebellious, anti-establishment crowd who had laid siege to the music scene, hoping to bring about the demise of bands such as Floyd. The Animals produced some great album tracks, such as "I'm Mad Again" (originally by John Lee Hooker), "Worried Life Blues", and "Bury My Body".Animals 2018 Remix - The iconic 1977 Pink Floyd album has been remixed for the first time by James Guthrie. The sound quality of this vinyl left my jaw scraping against the floor and was a sonic treat that I still can't quite believe. The heavy gauge gatefold cover, and extensive book containing rare photograph's and factoids as well as lyrics and oddities, is a real treat taking the listening experience to a higher level.
