Pink Floyd - Atom Heart Mother (180g Vinyl LP)

Atom Heart Mother is the fifth studio album from Pink Floyd, originally released in 1970. A pivotal record in the band's evolution, the album bridges their psychedelic beginnings with the ambitious progressive rock sound they would explore throughout the 1970s, combining extended compositions, orchestral arrangements, experimental studio techniques and atmospheric songwriting.

Side One is devoted entirely to the epic Atom Heart Mother suite, a six-part composition featuring orchestra and choir alongside Pink Floyd's distinctive guitars, keyboards and rhythm section. Side Two includes Roger Waters' reflective If, Richard Wright's Summer '68, David Gilmour's Fat Old Sun and the experimental three-part finale Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast.

Recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London, Atom Heart Mother was Pink Floyd's first album to reach number one in the UK. The ambitious title suite also marked the band's first extensive use of orchestra and choir, making the album an important step towards the expansive compositions and studio experimentation that would define their classic 1970s work.

This remastered vinyl edition was mastered from the original analogue master tapes by James Guthrie, Joel Plante and Bernie Grundman. It is pressed on 180g heavyweight black vinyl and presented in a gatefold sleeve reproducing the distinctive original album artwork.

Supplied brand new and sealed.
