Brief Statistics.

(1) Un aneddoto legato ai vinili. Nei testi di Animals sulla copertina interna nera risulta esserci una stranezza in quase tutte le edizioni. Il fatto curioso è che su quasi tutti i dischi in vinile, nell'inner, troviamo la frase nel brano "Dogs": "...Who was given a seat in the stand...". Invece, in alcuni libri ed anche in alcuni siti, si riporta la frase: "...Who was given a pat on the back...". Certo è che non si spiega il motivo di tale stranezza, visto che nel disco viene cantata la seconda frase. Ma la prima frase era cantata anche nel tour del 1975 (in "You gotta be crazy") e viene anche riportata sul libretto interno dei CD originali; ed anche nello spartito originale di Animals, il testo sotto le note viene riportato esatto, "...Who was giv-en a pat on the back, ...". In sintesi, quasi tutte le versioni dei testi nell'inner dei vinili riportano la frase sbagliata, ma non se ne conosce il motivo; gli unici due inner con il testo corretto sono quelli dell'edizione inglese del 1997 e nelle edizioni della Yugoslavia, oltre che nell’inserto dell’edizione del 2022 della Pink Floyd Records (remix del 2018).
