Pink Floyd – Atom Heart Mother LP Online now

ATOM HEART MOTHER 2016 version. VINYL LP – Atom Heart Mother is the fifth studio album by English progressive rock band Pink Floyd. It was released by Harvest and EMI Records 2 October 1970 in the UK, and by Harvest and Capitol on 10 October 1970 in the US.[1] It was recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London, England, and was the band s first album to reach number 1 in the UK,[2] while it reached number 55 in the US chart,[3] eventually going gold there.[4] A remastered CD was released in 1994 in the UK and the United States, and again in 2011. Ron Geesin, who had already influenced and collaborated with Roger Waters, made a notable contribution to the album and received a then-rare outside songwriting credit. – This was the first Pink Floyd album to be specially mixed for four-channel quadraphonic sound as well as conventional two-channel stereo. The SQ quadraphonic mix was released on LP in a matrix format compatible with standard stereo record players. There was also a release of the quadraphonic version in the UK in fully discrete four-channel form on the Quad-8 format, a four-channel variant of the stereo 8-track tape cartridge. – The cover was designed by Hipgnosis, and was significant in that it was the first one to not feature the band s name on the cover, or contain any photographs of the band anywhere. This was a trend that would continue on subsequent covers throughout the 1970s and beyond.
