PINK FLOYD - THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON (EMI/HARVEST SHVL 804) Original 1973 vinyl issue Gatefold sleeve with large fold-out poster & stickers. This is not a repro. or re-issue.
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 which aren't that impressive by themselves, 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. ALL MUSIC
A superb album in SUPERB condition. Easily the best copy of an original used Floyd album that I've handled.
Condition: The VINYL LP is in excellent condition (EX) no noticeable marks or signs of wear. It looks great and the sound is excellent throughout.                    Both labels are in excellent condition (just a few signs of light spindle-wear but no other marks)                    The  cover is in EX condition - it really is in top-notch condition.                    The album comes with one large fold-out poster (see pics). The album's two stickers have been stuck to the the inner sleeve (not a black inner)
In the 'dead' run out on the vinyl: SHVL 804 A-5/B-5                                      Record Gradings: I use the standard Record Collector gradings for vinyl records M (Mint): Brand new condition - no marks - cover and inserts in perfect condition EX (Excellent): Shows some signs of the record having been played but very little lessening in sound quality                          The cover might have slight wear and/or slight creasing VG (Very Good): The record has obviously been played many times. There will be some noticeable surface marks and occasional light scratches.                              The sound quality may have deteriorated but the general sound is still acceptable.                              Normal wear and tear on the cover but without major defects. G (Good): The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated - perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches.                   The cover may suffer folding, creases, spine splits, discolouration etc. F (Fair), P (Poor), B (Bad): I do not normally put records in these grades on eBay except where the record is rare and still collectable whatever the condition.
