Rls Notes
Animals is the tenth studio album by Pink Floyd, originally released
in January 1977. It was recorded at the band's Britannia Row Studios
in London throughout 1976 and early 1977, and was produced by the band
themselves. The successful album peaked at number 2 in the UK and
number 3 in the US, and is considered as one of the band's best works.
The album was recorded by band members David Gilmour, Nick Mason,
Roger Waters and Richard Wright.
Animals 2018 Remix will be released on CD, LP (with gatefold artwork),
Blu-ray, SACD and Deluxe Gatefold formats. The Deluxe Gatefold version
includes LP, CD, audio Blu-ray, audio DVD and a 32-page book. The Blu-
ray and DVD audio include the 2018 remix in Stereo, 5.1 Surround (both
by James Guthrie) and the original 1977 Stereo mix. The 32-page
booklet features rarely seen behind the scenes photographs of the
album sleeve shoot along with live images and memorabilia. The album
artwork has been reimagined for this release.
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 economical situation
mirrors that of the time.
The album's iconic cover shows an inflatable pig (now known as Algie)
floating between two chimneys of the Battersea Power Station,
conceived by Roger Waters, and designed by long-time collaborator
Storm Thorgerson of Hipgnosis Studios. For this new release, the
artwork has been re-designed for the modern era by Storm's Hipgnosis
partner Aubrey 'Po' Powell. Taking new shots of the building as it
appeared during the recent conversion work, Po experimented with new
angles and produce some striking new takes on the classic original. Po
elaborates: "With the original 1977 album cover being such an iconic
piece of stand-alone art, I had the chance to update it, which was a
rather daunting task, but Hipgnosis took the opportunity to re-
photograph the image to reflect a changing world, and by using modern
digital colouring techniques I kept Pink Floyd's rather bleak message
of moral decay using the Orwellian themes of animals, the pig 'Algie',
faithful to the message of the album".
