You are listening to the genuine Hi-Fi stereo sound transferred from the actual vinyl record in the best possible quality.

Meddle is the 6th studio album by the English rock band Pink Floyd, released by Capitol on 30 October 1971 in the US and by Harvest Records on 5 November in the UK. The album was produced between the band's touring commitments, from January to August 1971 at a series of locations around London, including EMI Studios (now Abbey Road Studios) and Morgan Studios.
With no material to work with and no clear idea of the album's direction, the band devised a series of novel experiments which eventually inspired the album's signature track "Echoes". Meddle is considered a transitional album between the Syd Barrett-influenced group of the late 1960s and the Waters-led era. One single, "One of These Days" with "Fearless" on its B-Side, was released from the album.
The cover image represents an ear, underwater, collecting waves of sound (represented by ripples in the water). The gatefold contains a group photograph of the band, which would be their last until 1987's A Momentary Lapse of Reason.
The album was well received by critics upon its release, and was commercially successful in the UK, but lacklustre publicity on the part of the band's American label Capitol Records led to poor sales there upon initial release.
