The OFFICIAL "How many times have you purchased DSOTM" Thread/Poll

[riknik]

Not as many times as the Original Star Wars Trilogy. VHS, VHS remastered, DVD, remastered, special editions, Blu Ray, 4k UHD on and on.

Sorry, back to the subject.
SQ LP
Immersion Box Set
Analog Productions SACD

 

[soesbeout]

The UK EMI SQ LP.

 

[GaryG]

One of my all time favorite albums so:

US stereo LP

Harvest Japan CD black label

MFSL Ultradisc CD

20th anniversary CD box

Capitol SACD

Immersion box

Have to add the AP SACD

I’m a sucker for anything DSOTM.

 

[stevendive]

Once, the 1973 LP UK version and still have it, along with the poster that’s remained folded in the sleeve.

 

[QuadraHead]

It's not really the answer the poster of this tread is looking for but; I never owned any type of copy of The Darkside of the Moon (Still?) I must be the only one on the planet,.. I know ;-)

 

[jaybird100]

Well, let's see... The MoFi half speed mastered LP, the British SQ LP, the Japanese RM LP. the Capitol SACD, and the Immersion box set. The Japanese RM LP blows away the British SQ.

I get it, it’s an “Us and Them” kind of thing. You must live on the dark side of the moon.

The music on this album is very poignant for me ....and still is.
In 1973 after I had bought this album, a friend of mine from my school committed suicide by hanging himself
from a tree.
He had been ostracised because he was an intellectual, had a funny walk and was seen by all the kids in my private high school as an object of derision. I was his only friend there.
Each day, as we waited to go into the classes, about 150 people would laugh at him, a ritual that he had to go through every day.
I will never forget the look of shame on their faces when the headmaster announced at the school assembly that Zachary had committed suicide. The many perpetrators hung their heads in shame.
This album, especially The Great Gig in the Sky, reminds me of his senseless death....even after nearly 50 years.
The tears are now streaming down my face, I've never told anyone this story before, but I know you guys understand the power of music.

People of all ages can be unbelievably cruel.

You can redeem yourself by purchasing the 50th anniversary version next year.
Something is on the works, confirmed by Po Powell.

The 50th anniversary edition will include a spaceX ticket to the dark side of the moon.

Even if you don’t like pink floyd you’re missing out on one of the greatest mixes of all time, especially the Alan Parsons quad mix, the immersion box set is as cheap as it’s ever been if you want to take a chance on it, if you still don’t like it you will more or less get your money back by re-selling it

 

[FooBarFoo]

The 50th anniversary edition will include a spaceX ticket to the dark side of the moon.

I heard it will include a signed picture of Roger Waters "mooning" the rest of Pink Floyd...

And another pic vice versa...

And a personal note to all the fans saying that Animals in 5.1 is delayed again over pointless bickering, and an announcement that all band members have agreed that the Wall in 5.1 will ship!

...the day AFTER the last band member is deceased, to avoid further fighting.

Atmos, perhaps?

 

[chucky3042]

I have purchased around 5 times...... But my CCR Cosmo's Factory around 6

Now THAT would be great on SACD!

People can be so damn cruel. What a sad story.

 

[Sal1950]

Atmos, perhaps?

Just like Gray Poupon,
"But Of Course"
What else could it be.

 

[JeremyG]

Anyone else come across Dub Side of the Moon by the Reggae Allstars? Only stereo but it's good.

I have, and they actually put out two.

If you go back in this thread, I have a list of DSOM covers I posted April 2021. Some are amazing, others cringeworthy, but all are worth a listen.
