No barcode on sleeve. Under the SHVL 804 I have the IE 064-05249. Inside gatefold bottom left, I have the L 7303. Rear top right corner has the text (IE 064 o 05249) between SHVL 804 and "stereo" centered (later copies have it left aligned). This was NOT pressed in Denmark. No one recalls any Dark Side pressings being made and I have yet to see a danish pressing with the outer label dip meaning that those machines werent used here. It does, however, resemble many of the Sonet records from the early 70s pressed in the UK. Eg the theory that it was pressed at a non EMI plant (someone mentioned Decca) is a lot more likely.There does not appear to be any standalone reissues of the 2023 remaster of The Dark Side of the Moon, so the three physical formats for this 50th anniversary campaign are: deluxe box set, vinyl LP of Live at Wembley 1974 and CD of Live at Wembley 1974. Unlike with Animals, they are not making the spatial audio available separately, so buying the box set is the only way to get the Atmos mix, physically. Remastered by James Guthrie and Joel Plante at das boot recording. 5.1 and Atmos mixes by James Guthrie. I think my MOFI pressing is much better but this is pretty good and clean, it just feels a little cold International E.M.I. catalog number 1E 064 o 05249 appears in small font and parentheses on the cover rear.

After enjoying this 2016 cut for several years and, in the spirit of finding the “iconic” analogue cuts, I bought NM copies of MoFi’s 1979 and Kevin Gray’s 2003 pressings. I admit I haven’t heard a UK OG pressing (I’m trying to get a German OG from Michael Ludwig), but this 2016 sounds cleaner, fatter, and clearer than both analogue cuts I own. That’s not to say it’s the best cut out there - obviously - but it is to say these 2016 remasters are phenomenal, especially if you just want great sounding pressings of these records for a great price. I also have the 2016 cuts of WYWH and had ANIMALS, before I replaced it with the “2018” remix (which is the best version of ANIMALS to my ears due to the remix). But the 2016 ANIMALS reissue did sound great for the original mix. In March, Pink Floyd will release a new deluxe box set to celebrate the 50th anniversary of their classic 1973 album The Dark Side of the Moon.This first edition was initially pressed by The Gramophone Co. Ltd., from July 1st, 1973 by its legal successor, EMI Records at the same plant. REPLICA OF EMI PAMPHLET AND INVITE TO THE PREVIEW OF THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON AT THE LONDON PLANETARIUM ON 27TH FEBRUARY 1973 The last and most important thing. Sound. If you put on a record and you don't understand what's going on, where all the bass and treble have gone, where the stage and space are - you have a Danish edition. It's almost an exact copy of the British original in everything. Except sound. Maybe it's a collectible item, but not a listenable one.
