Few records loom as large as The Dark Side of the Moon — one of the most iconic, influential, and enduring albums in the history of popular music. Originally released in March 1973, Pink Floyd’s eighth studio album fused progressive rock, psychedelia, and studio wizardry into a seamless suite that reshaped what an album could be.
Developed partly on the road, Floyd premiered an early version of the work at London’s Rainbow Theatre months before stepping into EMI Studios (now Abbey Road). The sessions of 1972–73 yielded not only timeless music but also one of rock’s most recognisable images: Storm Thorgerson and Hipgnosis’ prism spectrum sleeve, drawn by George Hardie.
With over 50 million copies sold worldwide, The Dark Side of the Moon remains a cultural landmark — a heady, immersive listen that still feels visionary five decades on. Originally included in the lavish 50th Anniversary box set, this standalone release marks the first time the new remaster is available on its own.
