Pink Floyd - Atom Heart Mother (Vinyl LP | DE Original | 1970)

Pink Floyd – Atom Heart Mother was released in 1970 and was a bold step for the band: the title suite fills the entire first side and blends rock with orchestra, the John Alldis Choir and avant-garde elements, co-written by Ron Geesin. Side B brings If, Summer '68 and Fat Old Sun and Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast. The famous cow cover was created by Hipgnosis.

On offer is the original 1970 German pressing on Hör Zu (SHZE 297) in a gatefold sleeve.
