PINK FLOYD Dark Side of the Moon 1973 Harvest 1st Press WLY F3/F4 SMAS11163 EX
The Dark Side of the Moon is Pink Floyd's eighth studio album, built around themes of conflict, greed, time, and mental illness.
Tracks include "Money," "Time," "Us and Them," and "Breathe." Recorded at Abbey Road across 1972 and 1973, it became one of the best-selling albums ever and a defining record of progressive rock.
This is an original US first pressing on Harvest Records, SMAS-11163.
Mastered by Wally Traugott at Capitol Mastering — his "Wly" scribe appears in the deadwax on both sides.
Early F3/F4 Lacquer Cuts.
Pressed at Capitol Winchester.
Produced by Pink Floyd.
First State Gatefold Cover with the classic Hipgnosis prism-and-rainbow design, front and back. This copy carries the first-state gatefold text — "INTERPAK™ Pats. Pending" printed in the bottom right corner inside — correct for the earliest 1973 production run.
Harvest labels, solid triangle prism design with side-by-side track and credit listings, correct for the First US Pressing Run.
Original plain white inner sleeve.
