Even the inner sleeve has the 1970 record shop's very neatly handwritten 'SHVL 781' catalogue number, LP title and artist on the front, top right corner, always a great sign of professional careful storage, with the cover and inner sleeve and record separated until purchased.
This is the very first UK pressing of "Atom Heart Mother" and every possible exclusive feature is here, the labels, the record's heavyweight vinyl, the very first maitrix, the stamping codes, the gatefold cover and the Harvest catalogue promo inner sleeve.

THE VERY FIRST UK PRESSING, 10th OCTOBER, 1970. Sing to me, Sing to me, When that fat old sun in the sky is….
When that fat old sun in the sky is falling, Summer evening birds are calling, Children's laughter in my ears, The last sunlight disappears, And if you see, Don’t make a sound, Pick your feet up off the ground, And if you hear as the warm night falls, The silver sound from a time so strange. And if you see, Don’t make a sound, Pick your feet up off the ground, And if you hear as the warm night falls, The silver sound from a time so strange, Sing to me, Sing to me. "FAT OLD SUN" (Dave Gilmour, 1970) When that fat old sun in the sky is falling, Summer evening birds are calling, Summer's thunder time of year, The sound of music in my ears, Distant bells, New mown grass smells so sweet, By the river holding hands, Roll me up and lay me down.
