No doubt Hypgnosis' cow un-tagged pastoral artwork helped out (it was a fad that Crimson and Zep tried before they did), but that doesn't explain much, especially with the sore studio experience of Ummagumma. Despite the album's flaws and it not always ageing well, I rank in the last category of fans, even if I wonder sometimes how this album became so successful.

"A really awful and embarrassing record," said Waters.A remastered CD was released in 1994 in the UK and the US, and again in 2011. This was a trend that would continue on subsequent covers throughout the 1970s and beyond.Īlthough it was commercially successful on release, the band – particularly Roger Waters and David Gilmour – have expressed negative opinions of the album. It was recorded at EMI Studios (now Abbey Road Studios) in London, and was the band's first album to reach number 1 in the UK, while it reached number 55 in the US, eventually going gold there.The cover was designed by Hipgnosis, and was the first one not to feature the band's name on the cover, or contain any photographs of the band anywhere. It was released by Harvest on 2 October 1970 in the UK, and by Capitol on 10 October 1970 in the US. Atom Heart Mother is the fifth studio album by the English band Pink Floyd.
