The Dark Side Of The Moon

Product Information

Finally, the pressing at 130 grams has good mastering with clear sound and deep bass. In my case, the second LP came out completely warped, which entails a quality control problem increasingly common these days. In 1993, Gilmour attributed the album's success to the combination of music, lyrics and cover art: "All the music before had not had any great lyrical point to it. And this one was clear and concise." [118] Mason said that, when they finished the album, Pink Floyd felt confident it was their best work to date, but were surprised by its commercial success. He said it was "not only about being a good album but also about being in the right place at the right time".

A quadraphonic mix, [nb 10] created by Alan Parsons, [123] was commissioned by EMI but never endorsed by Pink Floyd, as Parsons was disappointed with his mix. [33] [123] For the album's 30th anniversary, an updated surround version was released in 2003. The band elected not to use Parsons' quadraphonic mix, and instead had the engineer James Guthrie create a new 5.1channel surround sound mix on the SACD format. [33] [124] Guthrie had worked with Pink Floyd since their eleventh album, The Wall, and had previously worked on surround versions of The Wall for DVD-Video and Waters' In the Flesh for SACD. In 2003, Parsons expressed disappointment with Guthrie's SACD mix, suggesting he was "possibly a little too true to the original mix", but was generally complimentary. [33] The 30th-anniversary edition won four Surround Music Awards in 2003, [125] and sold more than 800,000copies. [126] The Dark Side Of The Moon (Booklet). Pink Floyd.

Despite the few shortcomings it probably has the best sounding version of Money that genuinely made me go "Holy shit..." and its the one I say is the essential AAA version for every Pink Floyd fan to own.The Dark Side of the Moon became one of the best-selling albums of all time [103] and is in the top25 of a list of best-selling albums in the United States. [56] [104] Although it held the number one spot in the US for only a week, it remained in the Billboard 200 albums chart for 736nonconsecutive weeks (from 17 March 1973 to 16 July 1988). [105] [106] Of those first 736 charted weeks, the album had two notable consecutive runs in the Billboard 200 chart: 84 weeks (from 17 March 1973 to 19 October 1974) and 593 weeks (from 18 December 1976 to 23 April 1988). [107]. It made its final appearance in the Billboard 200 albums chart during its initial run on the week ending 8 October 1988, in its 741st charted week. [108] It re-appeared on the Billboard charts with the introduction of the Top Pop Catalog Albums chart in the issue dated 25 May 1991, and was still a perennial feature ten years later. [109] It reached number one on the Pop Catalog chart when the 2003 hybrid CD/ SACD edition was released and sold 800,000copies in the US. [56] On the week of 5 May 2006 The Dark Side of the Moon achieved a combined total of 1,716weeks on the Billboard200 and Pop Catalog charts. [72]
