Description Here I have a Very Rare Japanese Issue of The Pink Floyd Vinyl Album 'Atom Heart Mother' on the Odeon record Label Number OP-80102 This album was produced on Red Everclear Vinyl for the Japanese market. Red Everclear Vinyl is considered to be far better quality than conventional Black Vinyl According to the information I have added below. A Very Limited Run of between 500 and 600 copies of this album were produced in this red colour, so a very limited indeed and a rare album to find in this Mint Unplayed Condition. As Mentioned the Vinyl Album itself is in mint condition. In fact I think it has only been played once and that is by me on a Linn Turntable to make sure there were no playing problems... By the way, the album plays without any problem whatsoever! The Gatefold Sleeve I would consider to be very good with a bit of chaffing around the edges with a small crease on one corner and a small amount of wear on another, the spline is very readable, I think pretty good for a 1970's album. Probably should have been kept in a plastic sleeve though! The record has a 3 page booklet written in both English and Japanese which is in good condition. I think this would be an excellent addition to any serious Pink Floyd Record Collector. It was purchased by myself some years ago from a Pink Floyd record Collector who had some very interesting Memorabilia, but sadly for me, it's time to let this Album Go! Once again a Very Collectable and Rare Album and a must buy for any serious Pink Floyd Record Collector. Any Questions please ask. The album will be packaged very well to reach the buyer in good order.... For Information only please read on.... Red Everclean vinyl: Nearly all original album releases on Odeon Records, from The Piper at the Gates of Dawn through Meddle, were released in very limited editions on red Everclean vinyl (it is generally accepted that only 500-600 copies of each of these albums were pressed on red Everclean vinyl). These dark red Everclean vinyl releases were pressings on Everclean vinyl, a higher quality of vinyl that was developed and patented by Toshiba Musical Industries in 1957. Everclean vinyl is much more static resistant and dust resistant than regular black vinyl. However, Everclean pressings wear out much faster than black vinyl pressings since the vinyl is softer, so record groove sound quality may be degraded on used copies even though a record still looks mint.At the time they were made, red Everclean vinyl pressings were not intended as collector items, and both red Everclean vinyl and black vinyl pressings were priced the same. The final Japanese red Everclean vinyl pressings were made in April 1974. Each entry in the discography for Odeon releases indicate whether a particular album pressing was released on red Everclean vinyl.
