Pink Floyd’s Animals for Chamber Orchestra (12-Inch Vinyl Test Pressing)

'Test pressings', often known as white label pressings, are copies produced from the masters by the pressing plants in tiny quantities of between ten and thirty copies. These test discs are then sent to the artists and record companies for approval before the main manufacturing is commenced.

These discs are very rare and much sought after by collectors as these are the working copies intended for the artists and label executives to check that the vinyl mastering process is true to the master tapes. The discs were not created for retail sale as part of a manufacturing run – they are genuine test pressings used at work in the industry.

 Pink Floyd’s Animals for Chamber Orchestra (12-Inch Vinyl Test Pressing)

Featuring the London Symphonia, this is a wonderful opportunity to revisit Pink Floyd’s Animals from an intriguing new perspective.

This is an unmissable release for all fans of Pink Floyd, as this powerful recording brings out the depth of these wonderful compositions by combining the unexpected textures and colours of a chamber orchestra with the power of a full rock group.

Animals is Pink Floyd’s all too often overlooked masterpiece. This was the last Floyd album to be written, composed and performed by the classic line-up of Waters, Gilmour, Wright and Mason.
