Editorial Review:

Album Description:
Limited Edition Japanese pressing of this album comes housed in a miniature LP sleeve. 2008.

Amazon.com essential recording:
Dark Side of the Moon, originally released in 1973, is one of those albums that is discovered anew by each generation of rock listeners. This complex, often psychedelic music works very well because Pink Floyd doesn't rush anything; the songs are mainly slow to mid-tempo, with attention paid throughout to musical texture and mood. The sound effects on songs like 'On the Run,' 'Time' and especially 'Money' (with sampled sounds of clinking coins and cash registers turned into rhythmic accompaniment) are impressive, especially when we remember that 1973 was before the advent of digital recording techniques. This is probably Pink Floyd's best-known work, and it's an excellent place to start if you're new to the band. --Genevieve Williams

Rating: - * Brain Damage ... Anyone who gives this cd anything less than 5 stars is an idiot and your village does'nt want you back. This music collection is so unique that it has held it's popularity from generation to generation. (The only true test of greatness). This particular example of creative prog rock puts Pink Floyd up there in rarified air with all the heavyweights, like Mozart,Beethoven,and Tchaikovsky. Great music is intellectual , and that is why some people don't get it. The majority of people are looking for a cd chocked full of little 4 minute ditties because they have the attention span of a knat. Dark Side Of The Moon is meant to be enjoyed over an expanded period of time. You put DSOTM on and you light some incense, dim the lights, and then you do something that really takes dicipline, YOU LISTEN! Even after reading this some people won't get it, because they are afraid to leave the shallow end of the pool. So go ahead and continue to drink budweiser, watch t.v., listen to country music, and vote republican. Those of us with a brain will continue to enjoy Pink Floyd's best work- Dark Side Of The Moon!!!! Rating: - * Mostly favorites ... Dark Side of the Moon has just about all "favorites" on it. You will not tire of listening to classic Pink Floyd. The insert along is worth the money with all the lyrics, pictures of Floyd back when, and who sings on each song and of course all the lyrics were written by Roger Waters. Great CD. Rating: - * The best of the best ... My favorite album ever. The only album I know of that I wouldn't change a single thing. Perfect in every way. Rating: - * how utterly dreadful!! ... For an album to be so meagre in depth there are many words to spend. To begin with, to claim this piece of crap is a 'messed-up-piece' only shows a severe lack of knowledge and wisdom, to take that Benny my man! Secondly for a CD so painfully preposterous there is no validation and right to exist under the sun moon and stars. How utterly dreadful that (again!!) the dumb masses be enchanted by this unwiped *** of an album. It is cruelly misappropriate to barf any cliched compliments over this swine of swines. I wish I could destroy this CD on the first day of its smelly 'breathe'. 0 stars now and always. Andrew Stanford II 10 Rating: - * how utterly dreadful!! ...
