PINK FLOYD - The Dark Side Of The Moon [Experience Version] 2CD (2011)
*
Originally released in 1973, "The Dark Side Of The Moon" became Pink Floyd’s first # 1 album in the US, remaining on the chart for 741 weeks between 1973 and 1988.
One of the best-selling and most critically acclaimed albums of all time, "The Dark Side Of The Moon" also introduced the iconic album cover artwork by Hipgnosis featuring a prism representing the band’s stage lighting, the record’s lyrics, and the request for a ‘simple and bold’ design.
The new Experience Version presents the original studio album digitally remastered by James Guthrie, with bonus CD featuring a previously unreleased recording of "The Dark Side Of The Moon" entirely performed live at Wembley in 1974.
Also featuring a newly designed Digipak and a new 16 page booklet designed by Storm Thorgerson, including all lyrics.
This album is a must in anyone's record collection and the remastering of the original album on this "Experience Edition" is excellent.
Disc 2 contains a live recording of the band performing this album at Wembley, in November of 1974 which was originally recorded by the BBC.
Many of the tracks are extended on the live performance.
"On The Run" has an altered sequence compared to the album version, while "The Great Gig In The Sky" features Claudia Williams and Venetta Fields doing Clare Torry's performance as a duel.
"Money" is also pretty extended, and "Any Colour You Like" has five minutes longer than the album version (compare this to 'Pulse' and it has just a four man Floyd playing with a fire and passion).
The booklet and the sound on both CD's is excellent.
BUY IT !

There is no reason to own this album, it is probably the most overrated album in history.
Bullshit, this is a masterpiece.
