One of the most iconic and influential albums ever, Pink Floyd’s "The Dark Side Of The Moon", celebrates its 50th anniversary.
The album was partly developed during live performances, and the band premiered an early version of the suite at London’s Rainbow Theatre several months before recording began. "The Dark Side Of The Moon" is the 8th studio album by Pink Floyd, originally released in March 1973. The new material was recorded in 1972 and 1973 at EMI Studios, now Abbey Road Studios, in London. The iconic sleeve, which depicts a prism spectrum, was designed by Storm Thorgerson of Hipgnosis and drawn by George Hardie. "The Dark Side Of The Moon" has sold over 50 million copies worldwide.
This new deluxe box set includes CD and gatefold vinyl of the newly remastered studio album, plus BluRay and DVD audio, featuring the original 5.1 mix and remastered stereo versions. The set also includes additional new BluRay disc of Atmos mix plus CD and LP of "The Dark Side Of The Moon Live At Wembley Empire Pool, London, 1974". Which also will be released separately on CD and LP.
