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.

It makes me wonder what my 4 sealed, and 1NM play copy of the 30th Anniversary are worth now, considering back then I  paid $6.99 each from a record store that went out of business then. 

@tim_p New ones are listed as" buy it now" for $350-$400 on eBay.

Auctions for new and used copies starting in the $250-$300 range.

Sheeesh.  I still have a sealed copy from 1973.  Wonder what that's worth now.

I just looked, I have 5 different versions of DSOTM! How many times do they think we’ll buy another remaster, remake, re-edited, remixed, 50 year old album? I will say the 5.1 version is really cool!

And yes I bought all the new Giles Martin re re re makes of the Beatles albums!
