Various Artists - The Many Faces Of Pink Floyd / Various - Solid White Vinyl - VINYL LP

Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing in gatefold jacket. Includes 28-booklet. The iconic 1977 Pink Floyd album has been remixed for the first time by James Guthrie. 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 album was developed from a collection of unrelated songs into a concept which describes the apparent social and moral decay of society, likening the human condition to that of animals. Taking inspiration from George Orwell's Animal Farm, the album depicts the different classes of people as animals with pigs being at the top of the social chain, dropping down to the sheep as the mindless herd following what they are told, with dogs as the business bosses getting fat on the money and power they hold over the other. Although it's been a long time since 1977, the narrative of the album still resonates today as our social and economic situation mirrors that of the time. Album Tracks 1. Pigs on the Wing (Part One) 2. Dogs 1. Pigs (Three Different Ones) 2. Sheep 3. Pigs on the Wing (Part Two)

Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing in embossed gatefold jacket. Half-Speed Master. A Night at the Opera is the fourth studio album by Queen, originally released in 1975. Produced by Roy Thomas Baker and Queen, it was reportedly the most expensive album ever recorded at the time of it's . Queen was straining at the boundaries of hard rock and heavy metal on Sheer Heart Attack, but they broke down all the barricades on A Night at the Opera, a self-consciously ridiculous and overblown hard rock masterpiece. Using the multi-layered guitars of it's predecessor as a foundation, A Night at the Opera encompasses hard rock (InchDeath on Two Legs,Inch InchSweet LadyInch), pop (the lovely, shimmering InchYou're My Best FriendInch), campy British music hall (InchLazing on a Sunday Afternoon,Inch InchSeaside RendezvousInch), and mystical prog rock (Inch'39,Inch InchThe Prophet's SongInch), eventually bringing it all together on the pseudo-operatic InchBohemian Rhapsody.Inch In short, it's a lot like Queen's own version of Led Zeppelin IV, but where Zep find dark menace in bombast, Queen celebrate their own pomposity. No one in the band takes anything too seriously, otherwise the arrangements wouldn't be as ludicrously exaggerated as they are. But the appeal - and the influence - of A Night at the Opera is in it's detailed, meticulous productions. It's prog rock with a sense of humor as well as dynamics, and Queen never bettered their approach anywhere else. Album Tracks 1. Death on Two Legs (Dedicated to...) 2. Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon 3.

Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing. Animals is the tenth studio album by Pink Floyd, originally released in January 1977. It is a concept album that provides a scathing critique of the social-political conditions of late-70s Britain, and presents a marked change in musical style from their earlier work. Animals was recorded at the band's studio, Britannia Row, in London, but it's production was punctuated by the early signs of discord that three years later would culminate in keyboardist Richard Wright leaving the band. The album's cover image, a pig floating between two chimneys of the Battersea Power Station, was conceived by the band's bassist and lead songwriter Roger Waters, and was designed by long-time collaborator Storm Thorgerson of Hipgnosis. The album reached #2 on the UK Albums Chart. It was also a success in the United States, reaching #3 on the US Billboard 200. Album Tracks 1. Pigs on the Wing 1 Pink Floyd 1 24 2.
