RARE audiophile first pressing of Pink Floyd`s magnum opus "The Dark Side Of The Moon" on Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab (March 1973). Originally released on Harvest Records in 1973, the first audiophile US pressing on MFSL Records came out in June 1979. This is such an original first issue.
"With its technological mastery and its conventional wisdom once-removed, this is a kitsch masterpiece--taken too seriously by definition, but not without charm. It may sell on sheer aural sensationalism, but the studio effects do transmute David Gilmour's guitar solos into something more than they were when he played them. Its taped speech fragments may be old hat, but for once they cohere musically. And if its pessimism is received, that doesn't make the ideas untrue--there are even times (...) when this record brings its clichés to life, which is what pop is supposed to do, even the kind with delusions of grandeur. Grading: B" - Robert Christgau, 1981.
