Description
Offered for sale is a limited edition white vinyl pressing of The Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd, issued in the Netherlands in 1978.
This album almost always has cover issues, but this copy is still in the original shrink wrap.
About this copy: This copy of The Dark Side of the Moon is a 1978 Dutch pressing on the Harvest label.
The cover is M- with a very tiny bit of wear on the lower right hand corner. The shrink wrap is largely intact with a small break on the back. There is a large hype sticker on the wrap that says “COLOURED VINYL.”
This version of the LP was issued without inserts.
The white vinyl disc is M- and may be unplayed.
A gorgeous copy of a scarce Pink Floyd LP. This has the nicest cover of any copy we’ve ever seen.
Background: The Dark Side of the Moon was Pink Floyd’s eighth album and it’s the one that made them superstars. Reaching #1 in the U.S. and #2 in the UK, the album is one of the biggest selling albums in history.
While the album topped the U.S. charts for only one week, it spent 741 weeks in the U.S. top 200 – fifteen years.
Due to popularity with buyers, the album has been released in multiple limited editions around the world over the years, including several different colored vinyl pressings and as a picture disc.
The 1978 edition on white vinyl was issued in both the Netherlands and Germany, but not in the U.S., where it was released only as a picture disc.
Allmusic.com gave The Dark Side of the Moon a rare 5 star review:
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. …Pink Floyd may have better albums than Dark Side of the Moon, but no other record defines them quite as well as this one.
