I, for one, am looking forward to the 50th Anniversary D.S.O.T.M. A Concept album. A Masterpiece. Ready this newest edition.
Happy Listening!
New Pink Floyd release
Pink Floyd is commemorating the 50th anniversary of the release of Dark Side of the Moon.
The forthcoming The Dark Side Of The Moon box set will be available through Warners on March 24. It includes a CD and gatefold vinyl of the newly remastered studio album and Blu-Ray and DVD audio featuring the original 5.1 mix and remastered stereo versions. The set also includes an additional new Blu-ray disc of a Dolby Atmos mix plus CD and LP of The Dark Side Of The Moon - Live At Wembley Empire Pool, London, 1974.
I hope the "remastered" versions are worthy improvements, but that isn't always the case these days.
The artwork is creating a stir among a small segment of "fans" who don't know what prisms and rainbows are... attacking or dis-owning the band for their "wokism". Can't make this stuff up, sadly.

I purchased the 20th anniversary digital remastered CD version and found it wasn't really any better than my old vinyl version. Then I purchased the remasterd 180 gram audiophile vinyl version. I find it to be somewhat dull in the overall sound. Why would anyone believe the 50th anniversary edition is going to be any better than all the other versions already out there? Still using the same original master? I just don't see the need for yet another reissue of this record. |
@stylemanLike many I am totally sick of the wank morons. The Floyd were using the rainbow long before the LGBTQESKHTYWRTKLTHWHTKTH (how many types are there?) group got going last week. Others had identified the colours of the rainbow in classical times. The rainbow has possibly existed 12 billion years. Go away all of you and play with your chalkboards. Try to relate to normal well-adjusted people and be less self-centred.

Money grab?? Really? They are professional musicians who make a living selling their music. They've evidently identified demand for a 50th anniversary collection and are investing in satisfying that demand. More power to them! Most of us work or worked for a living. Guess we're all guilty of this "money grab" some of you whine about. As a person who spends a lot of time listening to music, I'm wondering if it will be something for me, or not... very simple. I have no use for a $200 + collection of LPs and CDs, but.. if they somehow come up with a single, remastered LP or CD that sounds better than my original releases and my 2 mofi LPs and mofi CDs....count me in. If not, I hope they sell a lot of sets to collectors who will appreciate the sets and PF can recoup their investment and make a profit too.
