Matrices – Engraved On Run Out: SHVL 804 A SQ QUAD May ’81 / SHVL 804 B SQ QUAD May ’81
It sounds like the Quad mix, so most likely what happened is EMI NZ accidentally used the Quad plates initially in 1981, when intending to issue the standard version. Doesn’t appear that many got pressed, as I have only found one other like this in my many years of record collecting.
Condition – Vinyl: EXCELLENT! Looks to have had very little play in 41 years! Very light surface marks do not affect play.
Condition – Cover: EXCELLENT! Minor wear, a few creases (mainly on spine). Cover and labels are very clean.
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!

AMG –
Subtly textured music… dense with detail, but leisurely paced, creating its own dark, haunting world. 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.
