Description
"The Dark Side of the Moon" is the eighth album by English rock band Pink Floyd, released on 1 March 1973 by Harvest Records. The album built on ideas explored in earlier recordings and live shows, but lacks the extended instrumental excursions following the departure of founding member and principal contributor, Syd Barrett, in 1968, that distinguished their early work. It thematically explores conflict, greed, the passage of time, and mental illness, the latter partly inspired by Barrett's deteriorating mental state. The album was an immediate and commercial success; it topped the Billboard Top LP's & Tapes chart for a week and remained in the chart for 741 weeks from 1973 to 1988. With an estimated 45 million copies sold, it is Pink Floyd's most commercially successful album and one of the best-selling worldwide. It is always ranked as one of the best albums of all time. This is the 1980/1981 US Re-issue Gatefold Vinyl Pressing on the Capitol / EMI Records label. Has ORIGINAL HYPE STICKER on the front cover. It is SEALED and in MINT CONDITION.
