About

- A TAV Essential Listening Album -

Over half a century after its release, The Dark Side of the Moon still endures as one of the greatest records ever made. Fashioned as a concept album centering around mental illness (reflective of former bandmate Syd Barrett’s breakdown), greed, mortality and conflict - this LP was as ambitious thematically as was is musically.

Sonically, The Dark Side of the Moon was undoubtedly Pink Floyd at their artistic peak, building upon years of experimentation (with analogue synths, tape loops and multitrack recording) to create a psychedelic and progressive rock masterpiece that sounds as inventive today as it did in 1973. Brimming with breathtaking melodicism, cinematic swells of emotion, humanist songwriting, unique sound montages, and an impending sense of doom - this album makes psychic and existential fears sound absolutely wondrous. — The Analog Vault

The package comes with commemorative postcards, stickers and a 24-page booklet. Originally released in 1973 and becoming one of the most iconic and influential albums ever, Pink Floyd’s "The Dark Side Of The Moon" continues to find new audiences globally.
