Pink Floyd – Animals: 2018 Remix: Deluxe Edn (180g Vinyl LP + Blu-ray + DVD + CD Box Set)

2018 Remix Available as a Deluxe Edition 4-Disc Package with 32-Page Book; Blu-ray and DVD also feature New High Resolution Stereo and 5.1 Mixes Plus 1977 Original Stereo Mix

Pink Floyd’s iconic 1977 album 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.

This Deluxe Edition four-disc package contains longtime Pink Floyd producer/engineer James Guthrie’s 2018 remix on 180g vinyl LP, CD, Blu-ray and DVD. The Blu-ray and DVD also contain new high resolution stereo and 5.1 mixes plus the 1977 original stereo mix. A 32-page book completes the package which comes housed in a hardcover book style cover.
