The Dark Side Of The Moon

Product Information

Gute Soundqualität ( habe jedoch keinen Vergleich, zu älteren Pressungen ), wenig bis keine Nebengeräusche. Found a fairly clean copy of this (A3/B3) in a record store and just couldn't bring myself to not take it home with me. Even though I already owned the 2016 reissue and 2nd Japanese pressing, I wanted to see what all the hype was about regarding the early UK pressings. The 2016 reissue sounds terrific and the vinyl is very quiet, and the early Japanese pressing being fully analog definitely brings out more of the mid range, warmth, and dynamics that the recording has to offer. It may not be the true Alan Parsons discrete mix of the album, but I honestly prefer how this one sounds over the original stereo mix, even on a two channel setup. It’s not because of the additional instrument overdubs, but rather how OPEN the soundstage is on this pressing. Matrix / Runout (Runout Side A, variant 1 (stamped, exc. SHVLA 804-A- etched )): QHVL 804 A-3 SHVLA 804 -A-

The Dark Side Of The Moon" is the eighth studio LP to be released by Pink Floyd. It was recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London, England and released in 1973. It stands as one of the most successful commercial recordings of all time, and has been released in many countries. In the U.S., the album has spent more time on the Billboard 200 album chart than any other release in modern history.Group Poster: A six-pane group shot poster in landscape style with "SHVL 804" in the bottom right corner. Matte or glossy. Note: The 4th pressing should have any variations of A-5/B-5 A-4/B-3 or A-6/B-3 stampers in the run-out and "EMI Records Ltd" in the rim text. Variations with stamper numbers higher than 6 in the stampers indicate a 5th pressing or later. In the end the UK original takes the spot over the 2016 reissue for now. Ill try to give the other releases a head to head again sometime but right now I dont want to spoil the album too much. In March, Pink Floyd will release a new deluxe box set to celebrate the 50th anniversary of their classic 1973 album The Dark Side of the Moon. International E.M.I. catalog number 1E 064 o 05249 appears in small font and parentheses on the cover rear.

Matrix / Runout (Runout Side A , variant 2 (stamped, exc. SHVLA 804-A- 8B2 , etched)): QHVL 804 A-3 SHVLA 804 -A- 8B2 It exists a similar release The Dark Side Of The Moon, with slightly different inside gatefold colours: on bottom left corner, EMI Harvest logos and all the text info around them are blue instead of white. New box set triples the price of the Immersion edition •Includes Dolby Atmos Mix •Live at Wembley 1974 on vinyl for the first timeI think my MOFI pressing is much better but this is pretty good and clean, it just feels a little cold Release Information: Original stereo issue with a very dark blue cover, and a solid light blue triangle (prism) on the label with "The Gramophone Co., Ltd." text on the edge of the label. I grew up listening to this on CD in the mid-to-late 90s and, while I haven’t heard any OG pressing of this, this 2016 BG cut is close to flawless and sounds absolutely wonderful. DSD pressed well is the future of reissues anyway, once all the tapes are dead, so we’ll probably shelve our analogue stridency. Rear top right corner has the text (IE 064 o 05249) between SHVL 804 and "stereo" centered (later copies have it left aligned).

This is the special edition with A B on matrix (without stampers, mothers' letters, and without lacquer signs! Matrix / Runout (Runout Side B, variant 1 (stamped, exc. SHVLA 804-B- 6B etched)): QHVL 804 B-3 SHVLA 804 -B- 6B

Studio album recorded at Abbey Road Studios, London, between May 1972 and January 1973. Produced by Pink Floyd. Engineer Alan Parsons. Assistant Peter James. Mixing supervised by Chris Thomas.

This first edition was initially pressed by The Gramophone Co. Ltd., from July 1st, 1973 by its legal successor, EMI Records at the same plant.

Reverb too seems just as good if not better here on the A3/B3 giving subtitles in echoes more effect.
