Pink Floyd were an English rock band from London. Founded in 1965, the group achieved worldwide acclaim with their innovative psychedelic music and later became known for their progressive rock sound.With philosophical lyrics, musical experimentation, and elaborate live shows, Pink Floyd remains one of the most commercially successful and influential groups in popular music history.The band consisted of David Gilmour on guitar and vocals, Richard Wright on keyboards and vocals, Nick Mason on drums and percussion, Roger Waters on bass guitar and vocals, and Syd Barrett on guitar and vocals during their early years. They were also joined by other talented musicians throughout their career.

Rhino Records, also known as Rhino, is a renowned music label that was established in 1973 by Richard Foos. Starting as a record store in Westwood California, Rhino quickly gained recognition with its first successful release "Go To Rhino Records" by Wild Man Fischer in 1975. The label's early logo featured "Rocky the Rhino" and focused on novelty, surf, local new wave bands, and reissues of out-of-print records from other labels.

Under the guidance of Bill Inglot for production, Ken Perry for mastering, and A&R team Gary Stewart and James Austin, Rhino expanded its catalog to include a wide range of reissues by the mid-1980s. The label underwent a logo redesign during this time period to simply "Rhino". In 1984, Rhino released its first CD and became known for manufacturing high-quality CDs made by Sanyo (1984-85) and various manufacturers from Japan or Switzerland thereafter.

In 1985, Rhino entered into a distribution deal with Capitol Records which lasted until 1992. This partnership allowed access to Capitol's back catalog and led to the release of reissues of old Capitol albums. Additionally, EMI and Rhino acquired the Roulette family of labels in 1989. As their deal with Capitol came to an end in 1992, Time-Warner offered an opportunity for growth. Half of the label was sold to Time-Warner

Animals is Pink Floyd's tenth studio album, originally released in January 1977. It was recorded at the band's Britannia Row Studios in London in 1976 and early 1977 and was produced by the band themselves. The successful album reached number 2 in the UK and number 3 in the US and was recorded by band members David Gilmour, Nick Mason, Roger Waters and Richard Wright. The Dolby Atmos mix goes beyond ordinary listening by immersing the listener in the music, revealing details with unparalleled clarity and depth. The listener feels like they are in the middle of the song as the music moves around and across them.

The album's artwork was redesigned specifically for this release and presented in a digipak with a 16-page booklet, sticker and postcard. The cover image still shows the iconic pig floating between two chimneys at Battersea Power Station, designed by Roger Waters. However, for this new release, the artwork has been redesigned for today by Storm Thorgerson's Hipgnosis partner Aubrey 'Po' Powell and StormStudios' Peter Curzon, depicting the historic building as it appears today, complete with light projections, which vary in the accompanying booklet become. The projections and graphics were designed by Peter Curzon for the 2018 remix launch and the photography was by Rupert Truman and Benny Trickett in collaboration with Aubrey Powell.

Animals is a concept album focusing on the socio-political conditions of mid-1970s Britain and represents a departure from the style of the band's previous work. The album was developed from a collection of disjointed songs into a concept that describes the apparent social and moral decay of society, comparing the condition of humans to that of animals. Taking a cue from George Orwell's Animal Farm, the album depicts the different classes of people as animals, with the pigs at the top of the social chain, descending to the sheep, who do as they are told as a mindless herd, while the Dogs are business bosses who enrich themselves with the money and power they have over others. Although a lot of time has passed since 1977, the album's narrative still holds true today, as our social and economic situation reflects what it was then.
