"...for transparency, texture, harmonic complexity, and the display of subtle dynamic gradations, the new LP can't be beat. I compared it to a later UK Harvest pressing and to a Japanese Toshiba/EMI 'Pro Use'-series LP, and while the UK Harvest was somewhat richer in the mids and not quite as 'hot' on top, this deluxe, well-packaged reissue is worth having even if you have a clean original." - Michael Fremer, MusicAngle.com, June 2003
By all industry standards, The Dark Side Of The Moon is a phenomenon. Known for its complex instrumental textures, the album firmly established Pink Floyd as one of the most innovative bands in rock history. Since its release in 1973, The Dark Side Of The Moon has sold over 30 million copies and spent an incredible 741 weeks on Billboard's Album Chart. Vinyl (in its original packaging) will include an extra 30th anniversary poster by Storm Thorgerson.
... Based upon what I am hearing (this is the third time I've played it) it's definitely now my preferred pressing....and there is no doubt anyone who likes this classic album will want a copy. (Richard Foster)
... Doug's personal tube playback machine was brought in for the cutting, and the original Dolby A master mixes were used, as talked about on other Dark Side threads on our Forum. No high-frequency limiting was added to the mastering probably for the first time in the history of the album, so watch out ribbon tweeter lovers, those bells & whistles really ring out!
It sounds great, just like the master tape, with a minimum of EQ tweaking or other "futzing" that we all dislike here. One can clearly hear the different tonalities of the various instruments, pre-mixes, voices, effects, etc., quite clearly, as it should be. (Steve Hoffman)
AllMusic Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
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.
