Pink Floyd
Dark Side of The Moon
(Collectors Edition) 1973

Disc One Notes:
First disc consists of the commercially available DSOTM Quad mix, from very clean vinyl. Only the earliest moments of "Money" (starting vinyl side 2) really give the source away. Sounds 10x better than my own very clean import DSOTM Quad LP. Worth the price right here. Rest of disc one is audio from the making of DSOTM section of the "Pompeii" film. Essentially worthless unless you've never seen/heard this before.

Disc: 1
1. Dark Side LP (complete) Quad mix
2. On the Run
3. Us & Them (Part I)
4. Eclipse
5. Us & Them (Part II)
6. Brain Damage

Disc Two Notes:
Second disc consists of an "alternate mix" of DSOTM from a dubious and indistinct source. Sounds alot like the regular Quad mix (wholly distinct from the common stereo), but harsher, lots of raw top end and a few nasty tape hits. More vinyl noise than on the first disc. Could be from an acetate????? Same can be said for the "rough mixes" here. Money demo is lovely and clean - tape source - but only 1:44. "Time" rough mix - minus some key overdubs - is great, as are all the rest of these last tracks, esp. great doodling guitar overdub (never used) on top of "Brain Damage". Cover art comes from out of print 20th anniversary DSOTM box. Superb on balance, save for rip-off "Pompeii" material. Wets the appetite for a proper DSOTM retrospective box from the band, themselves. Official CD versions of the records are well overdue.

Disc: 2
1. Dark Side LP (complete) Alternate Mix
2. Money (acoustic demo)
3. Time (rough mix)
4. Brain Damage (rough mix)
5. Eclipse (rough mix)
6. Us & Them (rough mix)
