"Kicks Ass"
"You are on crack if you dont like this"
"Best-album-ever"

Dark Side of the moon was recorded at Abbey Road (are we sencing a patern yet?? ) on the new 16-track desk recently installed, Dark side of the moon is a group os songs all recorded in perfect haromony back to back as if to protray many different moods or feelings. The album according to Roger Waters is about madness. This CD woudl later become the center of much controversey with a law suit presented to the band by Roger Waters claiming total ownership.

Its success was so great--legend has it that there was an EMI factory which did nothing but make "Dark Side of the Moon" CDs--that it enabled the album's U.S. chart run to top 730 weeks.

It is the fourth best seller rock album of all time. The others are Thriller, Saturday Night Fever (soundtrack), Rumors by fleetwood mac It stayed on Billboard's top 200 album chart until April 23, 1988, and after that they changed the format so that once an album dropped off, it could not return. It stayed there for 723 weeks, the longest of any album, ever.

Nick Mason: "Dark Side started as a sequence called Eclipse. Most of it was developed in rehearsals for live shows, and we played it live at the Rainbow in London and opened shows with it in America in 1972. The concept grew out of group discussions about the pressures of real life, like travel or money, but then Roger broadened it into a meditation on the causes of insanity. The linking of all the sounds and the voices was very well done, I think, and we introduced an early synthesizer, the VCS3, right at the end. The recording was lengthly but not fraught, not agonised over at all. We were working really well as a band, But it wasn't only the music that made it such a success. EMI/Capitol had cleaned up their act in America. They put money behind promoting us for the first time. And that changed everything."

David Gilmour: "The big difference for me with this album was the fact that we'd played it live before we recorded it. You could't do that now of course, you'd be bootlegged out of existence. But when we went into the studio we all knew the material. The playing was very good. It had a natural feel. And it was a bloody good package. The music, the concept, the cover, all came together. For me it was the first time we'd had great lyrics. The others were satisfactory, or perfunctory or just plain bad. On Dark Side, Roger decided he didn't want anyone else writing lyrics."
