The Dark Side Of The Moon

Product Information

Remastered by James Guthrie and Joel Plante at das boot recording. 5.1 and Atmos mixes by James Guthrie. This pressing similar to The Dark Side Of The Moon and The Dark Side Of The Moon, however there are significant unique attributes, primarily: The right front opening of the gate-fold cover is sealed with a fold over flap that is glued inside the opening. There does not appear to be any standalone reissues of the 2023 remaster of The Dark Side of the Moon, so the three physical formats for this 50th anniversary campaign are: deluxe box set, vinyl LP of Live at Wembley 1974 and CD of Live at Wembley 1974. Unlike with Animals, they are not making the spatial audio available separately, so buying the box set is the only way to get the Atmos mix, physically.

I have asked a few business insiders here in Denmark… and none have ever heard of a Danish pressingplant doing annoriginal press of DSOTM. They have always guessed it to be more likely swedish actually (?!?!?) i dont know! New box set triples the price of the Immersion edition •Includes Dolby Atmos Mix •Live at Wembley 1974 on vinyl for the first timeTo sum up, the release seems like a solid, high-quality pressing. It has the bottoms and high frequencies. The only downside is the flatness of the sound. This first edition was initially pressed by The Gramophone Co. Ltd., from July 1st, 1973 by its legal successor, EMI Records at the same plant. Note: The 4th pressing should have any variations of A-5/B-5 A-4/B-3 or A-6/B-3 stampers in the run-out and "EMI Records Ltd" in the rim text. Variations with stamper numbers higher than 6 in the stampers indicate a 5th pressing or later.

Release Information: Original stereo issue with a very dark blue cover, and a solid light blue triangle (prism) on the label with "The Gramophone Co., Ltd." text on the edge of the label.

This is the special edition with A B on matrix (without stampers, mothers' letters, and without lacquer signs! Group Poster: A six-pane group shot poster in landscape style with "SHVL 804" in the bottom right corner. Matte or glossy. But right after we are then treated to the synth and drum intro before the vocals and the UK certainly has more bite here. That coupled with the extra bass from the low end really gives it and edge over the reissue.

Reviews

In the end the UK original takes the spot over the 2016 reissue for now. Ill try to give the other releases a head to head again sometime but right now I dont want to spoil the album too much. I described the 2016 Grundman cut as a very balanced and only slightly harsh but well sounding alternative. Which is what we come to realize again here. The UK does seem slightly less edgy in comparison and from experience with comparing other Pink Floyd originals vs reissue this is a common trend, the EQ is a smidge lower, removing some of that harshness. Cymbals and high hats sound more smooth and earthy while the reissues is more metallic for example. After enjoying this 2016 cut for several years and, in the spirit of finding the “iconic” analogue cuts, I bought NM copies of MoFi’s 1979 and Kevin Gray’s 2003 pressings. I admit I haven’t heard a UK OG pressing (I’m trying to get a German OG from Michael Ludwig), but this 2016 sounds cleaner, fatter, and clearer than both analogue cuts I own. That’s not to say it’s the best cut out there - obviously - but it is to say these 2016 remasters are phenomenal, especially if you just want great sounding pressings of these records for a great price. I also have the 2016 cuts of WYWH and had ANIMALS, before I replaced it with the “2018” remix (which is the best version of ANIMALS to my ears due to the remix). But the 2016 ANIMALS reissue did sound great for the original mix.
