The sleeve shows no storage wear album is flawless, Rare Condition - essential! SMAS- 11163 ).

This album is from my personal collection I purchased this album March 4, 1973 in, Ville Platte, Louisiana at, Floyds Record Shop. The album has all labels/stickers still attached to the shrink wrap which is still sealed. All corners are sharp with no bends, bumps or no record ring wear on cover.

The Dark Side of the Moon was released first in the US on 1 March 1973, and then in the UK on 24 March. It became an instant chart success in Britain and throughout Western Europe; by the following month, it had gained a gold certification in the UK and US. Throughout March 1973 the band played the album as part of their US tour, including a midnight performance at Radio City Music Hall in New York on 17 March, watched by an audience of 6,000. Highlights included an aircraft launched from the back of the hall at the end of "On the Run", which 'crashed' into the stage in a cloud of orange smoke. The album reached the Billboard Top LPs & Tapes chart's number one spot on 28 April 1973, and was so successful that the band returned two months later for another tour.

Release Date: March 1, 1973
