Pink Floyd Animals CD

BUY CD NOW FROM AMAZON.COM

Pink Floyd, Animals [2018 Remix] (Pink Floyd Records/Sony)

1CD: Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada
1LP: Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada
Blu-ray: Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. Link TBD / Amazon Canada
SACD: Acoustic Sounds
CD/LP/BD/DVD Gatefold Deluxe Edition: Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada

Pink Floyd's tenth album Animals arrived in January 1977, after 1975's Wish You Were Here and before 1979's The Wall.  Coming between those two epochal works, Animals was initially dismissed by some critics.  Consisting of just five tracks (two short bookends and three lengthy compositions), no singles were released and Animals became somewhat of a hidden gem - despite having peaked at No. 2 in the United Kingdom and No. 3 in the United States.  Now, fans will have a chance to rediscover Animals as its long-awaited 5.1 surround sound mix is released as part of a campaign revisiting the album on CD, LP, Blu-ray Audio, and SACD.  The Deluxe Gatefold format - due on October 7 - includes the LP, CD, Blu-ray, an audio DVD, and a 32-page book containing photos and memorabilia.  The Blu-ray and DVD include the 2018 stereo and surround mixes in high resolution as well as the 1977 original stereo mix in its 2011 remaster.
