On March 24, 2023  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.

One of the most iconic and influential albums ever, Pink Floyd’s ‘The Dark Side Of The Moon’ continues to find new audiences globally.

A brand new Dolby Atmos Mix is included, along with the original 5.1 and the hi-res stereo.

The Dark Side Of The Moon album was partly developed in 1972 during live performances, and the band premiered an early version of the suite at London’s Rainbow Theatre several months before recording began.

It is the eighth studio album by Pink Floyd, originally released in the US on 1 March and then in the UK on 16th March 1973.

The new material was recorded in 1972 and 1973 at EMI Studios (now Abbey Road Studios) in London. The iconic sleeve, which depicts a prism spectrum, was designed by Storm Thorgerson of Hipgnosis and drawn by George Hardie.

‘The Dark Side Of The Moon’ has sold over 50 million copies worldwide.

To date, the album has spent 971 nonconsecutive weeks on the Billboard 200, the most of any album.
