Product Description

Super Rare & Collectable Actual 1973 Japanese First Pressing! Vinyl Still In Top Condition! Gatefold Cover Includes 32-Page Booklet. Solid Blue Prism On Centre Labels / No Barcode / ¥2,000 On Inner Gatefold Identifies As First Press (Later Releases Are ¥2,200). Cover & Labels Are Clean. 

Matrix / Runout: SHVL – 804 – A 1S 3EW / SHVL – 804 – B 1S 2

Condition – Vinyl: EXCELLENT! Just a little bit of surface noise audible at start of Side 1, otherwise NEAR MINT! The cut is extremely dynamic, clear and impressive ~ even better than the MFSL pressing!

Condition – Cover: VERY GOOD PLUS! Shelf wear, medium ring wear. Pretty amazing for 48 years old!

Pink Floyd Masterpiece! Widely acknowledged as one of the greatest British rock albums of all time, ‘The Dark Side Of The Moon’ remains a truly extraordinary recording, notching up sales in excess of a staggering 50 million worldwide!

Japanese vinyl pressings are highly sought after by audiophiles and collectors, due to their premium sound quality and beautifully presented packaging. The sonic quality of Japanese records is regarded as the best in the world. No wonder all the original Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab records were pressed in Japan! The covers are printed on better quality heavy stock paper too. Top condition original Japanese pressings are becoming scarcer ~ and therefore more collectable and valuable every year.

Side 1:
Speak To Me
Breathe
On The Run
Time
Breathe (Reprise)
The Great Gig In The Sky

Side 2:
Money
Us And Them
Any Colour You Like

    AMG – June 24, 2015

    Adding a lush, immaculate production to their trippiest instrumental sections, Pink Floyd inadvertently designed their commercial breakthrough with Dark Side of the Moon. By condensing the sonic explorations of Meddle to actual songs and adding a lush, immaculate production to their trippiest instrumental sections, Pink Floyd inadvertently designed their commercial breakthrough with Dark Side of the Moon. The primary revelation of Dark Side of the Moon is what a little focus does for the band. Roger Waters wrote a series of songs about mundane, everyday details, but when given the sonic backdrop of Floyd's slow, atmospheric soundscapes and carefully placed sound effects, they achieve an emotional resonance. But what gives the album true power is the subtly textured music, which evolves from ponderous, neo-psychedelic art rock to jazz fusion and blues-rock before turning back to psychedelia. It's dense with detail, but leisurely paced, creating its own dark, haunting world. Pink Floyd may have better albums than Dark Side of the Moon, but no other record defines them quite as well as this one.
