The Dark Side of the Moon

<h2 id="background">Background</h2>
Following <a href="/facts/Meddle/jD3Wm33V">Meddle</a> in 1971, <a href="/facts/Pink_Floyd/a3U8PyeV">Pink Floyd</a> assembled for a tour of Britain, Japan and the United States that December. In a band meeting at the home of the drummer, <a href="/facts/Nick_Mason/4faRx3H2">Nick Mason</a>, in North London, the bassist, <a href="/facts/Roger_Waters/b1IwlSfM">Roger Waters</a>, proposed that a new album could form part of the tour. Waters conceived an album that dealt with things that "make people mad", focusing on the pressures associated with the band's arduous lifestyle, and dealing with the mental health problems suffered by the former band member <a href="/facts/Syd_Barrett/BcUPS8p8">Syd Barrett</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:3" href="#fn:3">3</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:4" href="#fn:4">4</a> The band had explored a similar idea with the 1969 concert suite <a href="/facts/The_Man_and_The_Journey/teB0DkGp">The Man and The Journey</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:5" href="#fn:5">5</a> In an interview for <a href="/facts/Rolling_Stone/HhCFoJ9F">Rolling Stone</a>, the guitarist, <a href="/facts/David_Gilmour/Vvdq7yr7">David Gilmour</a>, said: "I think we all thought – and Roger definitely thought – that a lot of the lyrics that we had been using were a little too indirect. There was definitely a feeling that the words were going to be very clear and specific."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:6" href="#fn:6">6</a>

The band approved of Waters' concept for an album unified by a single theme,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:7" href="#fn:7">7</a> and all the members participated in writing and producing material. Waters created <a href="/facts/Demo_(music)/tLBdlyPb">demo tracks</a> in a small studio in a garden shed at his home in <a href="/facts/Islington/T28A2Kn4">Islington</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:8" href="#fn:8">8</a> Parts of the album were taken from previously unused material; the opening line of "<a href="/facts/Breathe_(Pink_Floyd_song)/s4bUT6yV">Breathe</a>" came from an earlier work by Waters and <a href="/facts/Ron_Geesin/gE1NUq0D">Ron Geesin</a>, written for the soundtrack of <a href="/facts/Music_from_The_Body/UtpQQ7Ed">The Body</a>,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:9" href="#fn:9">9</a> and the basic structure of "<a href="/facts/Us_and_Them_(song)/CFUxX5mA">Us and Them</a>" was borrowed from an original composition, "The Violent Sequence", by the keyboardist, <a href="/facts/Richard_Wright_(musician)/rJvxFIA0">Richard Wright</a>, for <a href="/facts/Zabriskie_Point_(film)/zddIjj4D">Zabriskie Point</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:10" href="#fn:10">10</a> The band rehearsed at a warehouse in London owned by <a href="/facts/The_Rolling_Stones/15fCN7RF">the Rolling Stones</a> and at the <a href="/facts/Rainbow_Theatre/oxjyJEzp">Rainbow Theatre</a> in <a href="/facts/Finsbury_Park/Dpru4DYs">Finsbury Park</a>, London. They also purchased extra equipment, which included new speakers, a <a href="/facts/PA_system/LlLkJgNz">PA system</a>, a 28-track mixing desk with a four channel <a href="/facts/Quadraphonic/JdyskzCT">quadraphonic</a> output, and a custom-built lighting rig. Nine tonnes of kit was transported in three <a href="/facts/Lorries/9GMJWsQU">lorries</a>. This would be the first time the band had taken an entire album on tour.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:11" href="#fn:11">11</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:12" href="#fn:12">12</a> The album had been given the provisional title of Dark Side of the Moon (an allusion to lunacy, rather than astronomy).<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:13" href="#fn:13">13</a> After discovering that title had already been used by another band, <a href="/facts/Medicine_Head/z7Fgdokw">Medicine Head</a>, it was temporarily changed to Eclipse. The new material was premiered at <a href="/facts/Brighton_Dome/DFmCSuJR">The Dome</a> in <a href="/facts/Brighton/hp1fvPNt">Brighton</a>, on 20 January 1972,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:14" href="#fn:14">14</a> and after the commercial failure of Medicine Head's album the title was changed back to the band's original preference.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:15" href="#fn:15">15</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:16" href="#fn:16">16</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:17" href="#fn:17">17</a>

Dark Side of the Moon: A Piece for Assorted Lunatics, as it was then known,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:18" href="#fn:18">18</a> was performed for an assembled press on 17 February 1972 at the Rainbow Theatre, more than a year before its release, and was critically acclaimed.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:19" href="#fn:19">19</a> Michael Wale of <a href="/facts/The_Times/5BwkodnX">The Times</a> described the piece as "bringing tears to the eyes. It was so completely understanding and musically questioning."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:20" href="#fn:20">20</a> <a href="/facts/Derek_Jewell/Tz4dl98M">Derek Jewell</a> of <a href="/facts/The_Sunday_Times/15om0zLf">The Sunday Times</a> wrote "The ambition of the Floyd's artistic intention is now vast."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:21" href="#fn:21">21</a> <a href="/facts/Melody_Maker/dKcDEXEj">Melody Maker</a> was less enthusiastic: "Musically, there were some great ideas, but the sound effects often left me wondering if I was in a bird-cage at London Zoo."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:22" href="#fn:22">22</a> The following tour was praised by the public. The new material was performed in the same order in which it was eventually sequenced on the album. Differences included the lack of synthesisers in tracks such as "<a href="/facts/On_the_Run_(instrumental)/P3yY8nBg">On the Run</a>", and <a href="/facts/Clare_Torry/RnKnM5mY">Clare Torry</a>'s vocals on "<a href="/facts/The_Great_Gig_in_the_Sky/5DyPFMEC">The Great Gig in the Sky</a>" replaced by readings from the Bible.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:23" href="#fn:23">23</a>
Pink Floyd's <a href="/facts/Dark_Side_of_the_Moon_Tour/xCyb0Dzq">lengthy tour</a> through Europe and North America gave them the opportunity to make improvements to the scale and quality of their performances.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:24" href="#fn:24">24</a> Work on the album was interrupted in late February when the band travelled to France and recorded music for the French director <a href="/facts/Barbet_Schroeder/et8x3UXR">Barbet Schroeder</a>'s film <a href="/facts/La_Vall%25C3%25A9e_(film)/n7lTq1NP">La Vallée</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:25" href="#fn:25">25</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:26" href="#fn:26">26</a> They performed in Japan, returned to France in March to complete work on the film, played more shows in North America, then flew to London and resumed recording in May and June. After more concerts in Europe and North America, the band returned to London on 9 January 1973 to complete the album.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:27" href="#fn:27">27</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:28" href="#fn:28">28</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:29" href="#fn:29">29</a>

<h2 id="concept">Concept</h2>
The Dark Side of the Moon was built upon experiments Pink Floyd had attempted in their previous live shows and recordings, although it lacked the extended instrumental excursions which, according to the critic <a href="/facts/David_Fricke/XHv4Wh5A">David Fricke</a>, had become characteristic of the band following the departure of the founding member Syd Barrett in 1968. Gilmour, Barrett's replacement, later referred to those instrumentals as "that psychedelic noodling stuff". He and Waters cited 1971's Meddle as a turning point towards what would later be realised on the album. The Dark Side of the Moon's lyrical themes include <a href="/facts/Emotional_conflict/DFAPkKrt">conflict</a>, <a href="/facts/Greed/FyCYB3wf">greed</a>, the <a href="/facts/Time/3ShdpqLx">passage of time</a>, <a href="/facts/Death/VJmq29qm">death</a> and <a href="/facts/Insanity/nNNuS8IU">insanity</a>, the last inspired in part by Barrett's deteriorating mental state.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:30" href="#fn:30">30</a> The album contains <a href="/facts/Musique_concr%25C3%25A8te/NkJW91oM">musique concrète</a> on several tracks.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:31" href="#fn:31">31</a>
Each side of the vinyl album is a continuous piece of music. The five tracks on each side reflect various stages of human life, beginning and ending with a heartbeat, exploring the nature of the human experience and, according to Waters, "empathy".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:32" href="#fn:32">32</a> "<a href="/facts/Speak_to_Me/MRu1tA2M">Speak to Me</a>" and "Breathe" together highlight the mundane and futile elements of life that accompany the ever-present threat of madness, and the importance of living one's own life – "Don't be afraid to care".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:33" href="#fn:33">33</a> By shifting the scene to an airport, the synthesiser-driven instrumental "<a href="/facts/On_the_Run_(instrumental)/P3yY8nBg">On the Run</a>" evokes the stress and anxiety of modern travel, in particular Wright's fear of flying.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:34" href="#fn:34">34</a> "<a href="/facts/Time_(Pink_Floyd_song)/5EasqCrX">Time</a>" examines the manner in which its passage can control one's life and offers a stark warning to those who remain focused on mundane pursuits; it is concluded with a retreat into solitude and withdrawal in the reprise of "Breathe". The first side of the album ends with Wright and Clare Torry's soulful metaphor for death, "<a href="/facts/The_Great_Gig_in_the_Sky/5DyPFMEC">The Great Gig in the Sky</a>".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:35" href="#fn:35">35</a>
"<a href="/facts/Money_(Pink_Floyd_song)/UACEUrYK">Money</a>", the first track on side two, opens with the sound of <a href="/facts/Cash_register/GsBX9b8V">cash registers</a> and rhythmically jingling coins. The song mocks greed and <a href="/facts/Consumerism/H6eTfoeJ">consumerism</a> with sarcastic lyrics and cash-related <a href="/facts/Sound_effect/1M0EMu6b">sound effects</a>. "Money" became the band's most commercially successful track and was covered by other artists.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:36" href="#fn:36">36</a> "Us and Them" addresses the isolation of the depressed with the symbolism of conflict and the use of simple <a href="/facts/Dichotomies/mDufyfsP">dichotomies</a> to describe personal relationships. "<a href="/facts/Any_Colour_You_Like/Fbn3QdjE">Any Colour You Like</a>" tackles the illusion of choice one has in society. "<a href="/facts/Brain_Damage_(Pink_Floyd_song)/j8A9JBzb">Brain Damage</a>" looks at <a href="/facts/Mental_illness/EPNjFtFf">mental illness</a> resulting from the elevation of fame and success above the needs of the self; in particular, the line "and if the band you're in starts playing different tunes" reflects the mental breakdown of Syd Barrett. The album ends with "<a href="/facts/Eclipse_(Pink_Floyd_song)/8KuSquuU">Eclipse</a>", which espouses the concepts of otherness and unity while encouraging the listener to recognise the common traits shared by humanity.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:37" href="#fn:37">37</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:38" href="#fn:38">38</a>

<h2 id="recording">Recording</h2>

The Dark Side of the Moon was recorded at EMI Studios (now <a href="/facts/Abbey_Road_Studios/mVvMxcHP">Abbey Road Studios</a>) in approximately 60 days<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:39" href="#fn:39">39</a> between 31 May 1972 and 9 February 1973. Pink Floyd were assigned the staff engineer <a href="/facts/Alan_Parsons/vXjNgrA5">Alan Parsons</a>, who had worked as the assistant tape operator on their fifth album, <a href="/facts/Atom_Heart_Mother/fqMCVWrn">Atom Heart Mother</a> (1970), and had gained experience as a recording engineer on <a href="/facts/The_Beatles/2syHWLcM">the Beatles</a> albums <a href="/facts/Abbey_Road/zN9SuVLB">Abbey Road</a> and <a href="/facts/Let_It_Be_(album)/E2uGTf4k">Let It Be</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:40" href="#fn:40">40</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:41" href="#fn:41">41</a> The Dark Side of the Moon sessions made use of <a href="/facts/Recording_studio_as_an_instrument/9MlGALom">advanced studio techniques</a>, especially the <a href="/facts/Studer/KKjC73fr">Studer</a> <a href="/facts/Multitrack_recording/PPtToh16">16-track recorders</a>,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:42" href="#fn:42">42</a> an appreciable advantage over the eight- or four-track recordings they'd previously made, although the band often used so many tracks that second-generation copies were still needed to make more space available on the tape.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:43" href="#fn:43">43</a> The mix supervisor <a href="/facts/Chris_Thomas_(record_producer)/yFYc4kLv">Chris Thomas</a> recalled later, "There were only two or three tracks of drums when we came to mixing it. Depending on the song, there would be one or two tracks of guitar, and these would include the solo and the rhythm guitar parts. One track for keyboard, one track for bass, and one or two sound effects tracks. They had been very, very efficient in the way they'd worked."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:44" href="#fn:44">44</a>
The first track recorded was "Us and Them" on 31 May, followed seven days later by "Money".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:45" href="#fn:45">45</a> For "Money", Waters had created effects <a href="/facts/Tape_loop/Y2BpQl75">loops</a> in an unusual 74 time signature<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:46" href="#fn:46">46</a> from recordings of money-related objects, including coins thrown into a mixing bowl in his wife's pottery studio. These were re-recorded to take advantage of the band's decision to create a quadraphonic mix of the album, although Parsons later expressed dissatisfaction with the result of this mix, which he attributed to a lack of time and a shortage of multitrack tape recorders.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:47" href="#fn:47">47</a>
"Time" and "The Great Gig in the Sky" were recorded next, followed by a two-month break, during which the band spent time with their families and prepared for a tour of the United States.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:48" href="#fn:48">48</a> The recording sessions were frequently interrupted: Waters, a supporter of <a href="/facts/Arsenal_F.C./pubabvB0">Arsenal F.C.</a>, would break to see his team compete, and the band would occasionally stop to watch <a href="/facts/Monty_Python%2527s_Flying_Circus/9HlYg0er">Monty Python's Flying Circus</a> on television while Parsons worked on the tracks.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:49" href="#fn:49">49</a> Gilmour recalled, "...but when we were on a roll, we would get on."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:50" href="#fn:50">50</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:51" href="#fn:51">51</a>

After returning from the US in January 1973, they recorded "Brain Damage", "Eclipse", "Any Colour You Like" and "On the Run", and fine-tuned work from previous sessions. Four female vocalists were assembled to sing on "Brain Damage", "Eclipse" and "Time", and the saxophonist <a href="/facts/Dick_Parry/87JVnuzq">Dick Parry</a> was booked to play on "Us and Them" and "Money". With the director Adrian Maben, the band also filmed studio footage for <a href="/facts/Pink_Floyd%3a_Live_at_Pompeii/NDNvLvl5">Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:52" href="#fn:52">52</a> The album was completed and signed off at Abbey Road on 9 February 1973.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:53" href="#fn:53">53</a> Gilmour recalled the band listening to the finished album for the first time as "a moment of great joy and of satisfaction and the feeling of achievement that we'd really gone that extra mile".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:54" href="#fn:54">54</a>

<h3>Instrumentation</h3>
The album features metronomic sound effects during "Speak to Me" and tape loops for the opening of "Money". Mason created a rough version of "Speak to Me" at his home before completing it in the studio. The track serves as an <a href="/facts/Overture/CLu2GaBG">overture</a> and contains cross-fades of elements from other pieces on the album. A piano chord, replayed backwards, serves to augment the build-up of effects, which are immediately followed by the opening of "Breathe". Mason received a rare solo composing credit for "Speak to Me".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:55" href="#fn:55">55</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:56" href="#fn:56">56</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:57" href="#fn:57">57</a>
The sound effects on "Money" were created by splicing together Waters' recordings of clinking coins, tearing paper, a ringing cash register, and a clicking adding machine, which were used to create a 7-<a href="/facts/Beat_(music)/xJrxPJfS">beat</a> effects loop. This was later adapted to four tracks to create a "walk around the room" effect in quadraphonic presentations of the album.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:58" href="#fn:58">58</a> At times, the degree of sonic experimentation on the album required the studio engineers and all four band members to operate the mixing console's faders simultaneously, in order to mix down the intricately assembled multitrack recordings of several of the songs, particularly "On the Run".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:59" href="#fn:59">59</a>
Along with conventional rock band instrumentation, Pink Floyd introduced prominent synthesisers to their sound. The band experimented with an <a href="/facts/EMS_VCS_3/TdG8zIMJ">EMS VCS 3</a> on "Brain Damage" and "Any Colour You Like", and a <a href="/facts/Synthi_A/TdG8zIMJ">Synthi A</a> on "Time" and "On the Run". They also devised and recorded unconventional sounds, such as assistant engineer Peter James<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:60" href="#fn:60">60</a> running around the studio's echo chamber during "On the Run",<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:61" href="#fn:61">61</a> and a specially treated <a href="/facts/Bass_drum/W7MvHkKJ">bass drum</a> made to simulate a human <a href="/facts/Heart_rate/YngB0bzg">heartbeat</a> during "Speak to Me", "On the Run", "Time" and "Eclipse". This heartbeat is most prominent in the intro and the outro to the album, but it can also be heard sporadically on "Time" and "On the Run".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:62" href="#fn:62">62</a> "Time" features assorted clocks ticking, then chiming simultaneously at the start of the song, accompanied by a series of <a href="/facts/Rototom/ko1QLgGG">Rototoms</a>. The recordings were initially created as a quadraphonic test by Parsons, who recorded each timepiece at an antique clock shop.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:63" href="#fn:63">63</a> Although these recordings had not been created specifically for the album, elements of this material were eventually used in the track.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:64" href="#fn:64">64</a>

<h3>Voices</h3>
Several tracks, including "Us and Them" and "Time", demonstrated Wright's and Gilmour's ability to harmonise their similar-sounding voices, and the engineer Alan Parsons used techniques such as <a href="/facts/Double_tracking/IBhLF1TW">double tracking</a> vocals and guitars, which allowed Gilmour to harmonise with himself. Prominent use was also made of <a href="/facts/Flanging/JU9Kj7WC">flanging</a> and phase-shifting on vocals and instruments, odd trickery with <a href="/facts/Reverb_effect/81SpJeJQ">reverb</a>,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:65" href="#fn:65">65</a> and the panning of sounds between channels, most notably in the <a href="/facts/Quadraphonic/JdyskzCT">quadraphonic</a> mix of "On the Run", where the sound of the <a href="/facts/Hammond_organ/1Xr2Ia2c">Hammond B3</a> organ played through a <a href="/facts/Leslie_speaker/oWXlCukc">Leslie speaker</a> swirls around the listener.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:66" href="#fn:66">66</a>

Wright's "The Great Gig in the Sky" features <a href="/facts/Clare_Torry/RnKnM5mY">Clare Torry</a>, a session singer and songwriter and a regular at Abbey Road. Parsons liked her voice, and when the band decided to use a female vocalist he suggested that she could sing on the track. The band explained the album concept to her, but they were unable to tell her exactly what she should do, and Gilmour, who was in charge of the session, asked her to try to express emotions rather than sing words.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:67" href="#fn:67">67</a> In a few takes on a Sunday night, Torry improvised a wordless melody to accompany Wright's emotive piano solo. She was initially embarrassed by her exuberance in the recording booth and wanted to apologise to the band, who were impressed with her performance but did not tell her so.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:68" href="#fn:68">68</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:69" href="#fn:69">69</a> Her takes were edited to produce the version used on the track.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:70" href="#fn:70">70</a> She left the studio under the impression that her vocals would not make the final cut,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:71" href="#fn:71">71</a> and she only became aware that she had been included in the final mix when she picked up the album at a local record store and saw her name in the credits.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:72" href="#fn:72">72</a> For her contribution she was paid her standard session fee<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:73" href="#fn:73">73</a> of £30,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:74" href="#fn:74">74</a> equivalent to about £500 in 2025.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:75" href="#fn:75">75</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:76" href="#fn:76">76</a>
In 2004, Torry sued <a href="/facts/EMI/MxDTCNeq">EMI</a> and Pink Floyd for 50% of the songwriting <a href="/facts/Royalties/8caVPHCP">royalties</a>, arguing that her contribution to "The Great Gig in the Sky" was substantial enough to be considered co-authorship. The case was settled out of court for an undisclosed sum, with all post-2005 pressings crediting Wright and Torry jointly.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:77" href="#fn:77">77</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:78" href="#fn:78">78</a>
In the final week of recording,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:79" href="#fn:79">79</a> Waters asked staff and others at Abbey Road to respond to questions printed on <a href="/facts/Flashcard/YPIs6GrX">flashcards</a> and some of their replies were edited into the final mix. The interviewees were placed in front of a microphone in a darkened Studio 3<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:80" href="#fn:80">80</a> and shown such questions as "What's your favourite colour?" and "What's your favourite food?", before moving on to themes central to the album, including those of madness, violence, and death. Questions such as "When was the last time you were violent?", followed immediately by "Were you in the right?", were answered in the order they were presented.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:81" href="#fn:81">81</a>
<a href="/facts/Roadie/PDUnFyyy">Roadie</a> Roger "The Hat" Manifold was recorded in a conventional sit-down interview. Waters asked him about a violent encounter he had had with a motorist, and Manifold replied "... give 'em a quick, short, sharp shock ..." Asked about death, he responded, "Live for today, gone tomorrow, that's me ..."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:82" href="#fn:82">82</a> Another roadie, Chris Adamson, recorded the words that open the album: "I've been mad for fucking years. Absolutely years. Over the edge... It's working with bands that does it."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:83" href="#fn:83">83</a>
The band's road manager <a href="/facts/Peter_Watts_(road_manager)/3gFzhKlb">Peter Watts</a> (father of the actress <a href="/facts/Naomi_Watts/GeSosW7o">Naomi Watts</a>)<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:84" href="#fn:84">84</a> contributed the repeated laughter during "Brain Damage" and "Speak to Me", as well as the line "I can't think of anything to say". His second wife, Patricia "Puddie" Watts (now Patricia Gleason), was responsible for the line about the "geezer" who was "cruisin' for a bruisin'", used in the segue between "Money" and "Us and Them", and the words "I never said I was frightened of dying" halfway through "The Great Gig in the Sky".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:85" href="#fn:85">85</a>
Several of the responses – "I am not frightened of dying. Any time will do, I don't mind. Why should I be frightened of dying? There's no reason for it  ... you've got to go sometime"; "I know I've been mad, I've always been mad, like most of us have"; and the closing "There is no dark side in the moon really. Matter of fact, it's all dark" – came from the studios' Irish doorman, Gerry O'Driscoll.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:86" href="#fn:86">86</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:87" href="#fn:87">87</a> "The bit you don't hear," said Parsons, "is that, after that, he said, 'The only thing that makes it look alight is the sun.' The band were too overjoyed with his first line, and it would have been an anticlimax to continue."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:88" href="#fn:88">88</a>
<a href="/facts/Paul_McCartney/TfhC0oaF">Paul</a> and <a href="/facts/Linda_McCartney/VSNnGGBc">Linda McCartney</a> were interviewed, but their answers – judged to be "trying too hard to be funny" – were not used.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:89" href="#fn:89">89</a> The McCartneys' <a href="/facts/Wings_(band)/nN5rJtrq">Wings</a> bandmate <a href="/facts/Henry_McCullough/W2gYGLSr">Henry McCullough</a> contributed the line, "I don't know, I was really drunk at the time."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:90" href="#fn:90">90</a>

<h3>Completion</h3>
When the flashcard sessions were finished, producer <a href="/facts/Chris_Thomas_(record_producer)/yFYc4kLv">Chris Thomas</a> was hired to provide "a fresh pair of ears" for the final mix. Thomas's background was in music rather than engineering; he had worked with Beatles producer <a href="/facts/George_Martin/lLx2W3Cp">George Martin</a> and was an acquaintance of Pink Floyd's manager, <a href="/facts/Steve_O%2527Rourke/9eU7d6f3">Steve O'Rourke</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:91" href="#fn:91">91</a> The members of the band were said to have disagreed over the mix, with Waters and Mason preferring a "dry" and "clean" mix that made more use of the non-musical elements and Gilmour and Wright preferring a subtler and more "echoey" mix.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:92" href="#fn:92">92</a> Thomas said later, "There was no difference in opinion between them, I don't remember Roger once saying that he wanted less echo. In fact, there were never any hints that they were later going to fall out. It was a very creative atmosphere. A lot of fun."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:93" href="#fn:93">93</a>
Thomas's intervention resulted in a compromise between Waters and Gilmour, who were both satisfied with the result. Thomas was responsible for significant changes, including the perfect timing of the echo used on "Us and Them". He was also present for the recording of "The Great Gig in the Sky".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:94" href="#fn:94">94</a> Waters said in an interview in 2006, when asked if he felt his goals had been accomplished in the studio:

<blockquote>When the record was finished I took a reel-to-reel copy home with me and I remember playing it for my wife then, and I remember her bursting into tears when it was finished. And I thought, "This has obviously struck a chord somewhere", and I was kinda pleased by that. You know when you've done something, certainly if you create a piece of music, you then hear it with fresh ears when you play it for somebody else. And at that point I thought to myself, "Wow, this is a pretty complete piece of work", and I had every confidence that people would respond to it.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:95" href="#fn:95">95</a></blockquote>
<h2 id="packaging">Packaging</h2>

The album was originally released in a <a href="/facts/Gatefold/K8uCNmm9">gatefold</a> LP sleeve designed by <a href="/facts/Hipgnosis/r6RMeCXT">Hipgnosis</a> and <a href="/facts/George_Hardie_(artist)/e6vlayFu">George Hardie</a>. Hipgnosis had designed several of the band's previous albums, with controversial results; EMI had reacted with confusion when faced with the cover designs for <a href="/facts/Atom_Heart_Mother/fqMCVWrn">Atom Heart Mother</a> and <a href="/facts/Obscured_by_Clouds/v7q95fz2">Obscured by Clouds</a>, as they had expected to see traditional designs which included lettering and words. Designers <a href="/facts/Storm_Thorgerson/tJFIvN9D">Storm Thorgerson</a> and <a href="/facts/Aubrey_Powell_(designer)/Nxdd9ojQ">Aubrey Powell</a> were able to ignore such criticism, as they were employed by the band. For The Dark Side of the Moon, Wright suggested something "smarter, neater – more classy",<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:96" href="#fn:96">96</a> and simple, "like the artwork of a Black Magic chocolate box".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:97" href="#fn:97">97</a>
The design was inspired by a photograph of a prism with a beam of white light projected through it and emerging in the colours of the <a href="/facts/Visible_spectrum/frPBh8o5">visible spectrum</a> that Thorgerson had found in a 1963 physics textbook,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:98" href="#fn:98">98</a> as well as by an illustration by <a href="/facts/Alex_Steinweiss/olwPI0yK">Alex Steinweiss</a>, the inventor of album cover art, for the <a href="/facts/New_York_Philharmonic/wMG2etJQ">New York Philharmonic</a>'s 1942 performance of <a href="/facts/Ludwig_van_Beethoven/eusBgBkA">Ludwig van Beethoven</a>'s <a href="/facts/Emperor_Concerto/4Xcs8D3b">Emperor Concerto</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:99" href="#fn:99">99</a> The artwork was created by an associate of Hipgnosis, George Hardie.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:100" href="#fn:100">100</a> Hipgnosis offered a choice of seven designs for the sleeve, but all four members of the band agreed that the prism was the best. "There were no arguments," said Roger Waters. "We all pointed to the prism and said 'That's the one'."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:101" href="#fn:101">101</a>
The design depicts a glass <a href="/facts/Prism_(optics)/eodBFF70">prism</a> dispersing white light into colours and represents three elements: the band's stage lighting, the album lyrics, and Wright's request for a "simple and bold" design.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:102" href="#fn:102">102</a> At Waters' suggestion, the spectrum of light continues through to the gatefold.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:103" href="#fn:103">103</a> Added shortly afterwards, the gatefold design also includes a visual representation of the heartbeat sound used throughout the album, and the back of the album cover contains Thorgerson's suggestion of another prism recombining the spectrum of light, to make possible interesting layouts of the sleeve in record shops.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:104" href="#fn:104">104</a> The light band emanating from the prism on the album cover has six colours, missing <a href="/facts/Indigo/0gteqpM1">indigo</a>, compared with the usual division of the visible spectrum into red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. Inside the sleeve were two posters and two pyramid-themed stickers. One poster bore pictures of the band in concert, overlaid with scattered letters to form PINK FLOYD, and the other an <a href="/facts/Infrared_photograph/VHHECAPR">infrared photograph</a> of the <a href="/facts/Great_Pyramids_of_Giza/2cELBJX9">Great Pyramids of Giza</a>, created by Powell and Thorgerson.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:105" href="#fn:105">105</a>
The band were so confident of the quality of Waters' lyrics that, for the first time, they printed them on the album's sleeve.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:106" href="#fn:106">106</a>

As the quadraphonic mix of the album was not then complete, the band (with the exception of Wright) boycotted the press reception held at the <a href="/facts/London_Planetarium/J94LEAb2">London Planetarium</a> on 27 February.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:117" href="#fn:117">117</a> The guests were, instead, presented with a quartet of life-sized cardboard cut-outs of the band, and the stereo mix of the album was played over a poor-quality <a href="/facts/Public_address_system/LlLkJgNz">public address system</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:118" href="#fn:118">118</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:119" href="#fn:119">119</a> Generally, however, the press were enthusiastic; Melody Maker's Roy Hollingworth described Side One as "so utterly confused with itself it was difficult to follow", but praised Side Two, writing: "The songs, the sounds, the rhythms were solid and sound, Saxophone hit the air, the band rocked and rolled, and then gushed and tripped away into the night."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:120" href="#fn:120">120</a> Steve Peacock of Sounds wrote: "I don't care if you've never heard a note of the Pink Floyd's music in your life, I'd unreservedly recommend everyone to The Dark Side of the Moon".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:121" href="#fn:121">121</a> In his 1973 review for Rolling Stone magazine, <a href="/facts/Loyd_Grossman/gG3j8bUQ">Loyd Grossman</a> declared Dark Side "a fine album with a textural and conceptual richness that not only invites, but demands involvement".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:122" href="#fn:122">122</a> In <a href="/facts/Christgau%2527s_Record_Guide%3a_Rock_Albums_of_the_Seventies/lbz769kj">Christgau's Record Guide: Rock Albums of the Seventies</a> (1981), <a href="/facts/Robert_Christgau/0U1Du9U9">Robert Christgau</a> found its lyrical ideas clichéd and its music pretentious, but called it a "<a href="/facts/Kitsch/6jlx8rNY">kitsch</a> masterpiece" that can be charming with highlights such as taped speech fragments, Parry's saxophone, and studio effects which enhance Gilmour's guitar solos.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:123" href="#fn:123">123</a>
The Dark Side of the Moon was released first in the US on 1 March 1973,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:124" href="#fn:124">124</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:125" href="#fn:125">125</a> and then in the UK on 16 March.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:126" href="#fn:126">126</a> It became an instant chart success in Britain and throughout Western Europe;<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:127" href="#fn:127">127</a> by the following month, it had gained a <a href="/facts/Gold_certification/zGzLFa9l">gold certification</a> in the US.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:128" href="#fn:128">128</a> Throughout March 1973 the band played the album as part of their <a href="/facts/The_Dark_Side_of_the_Moon_Tour/xCyb0Dzq">US tour</a>, including a midnight performance at <a href="/facts/Radio_City_Music_Hall/RVynVMU5">Radio City Music Hall</a> in New York City on 17 March before an audience of 6,000. The album reached the <a href="/facts/Billboard_200/XtbnoFSM">Billboard Top LPs & Tape</a> chart's number one spot on 28 April 1973,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:129" href="#fn:129">129</a> and was so successful that the band returned two months later for another tour.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:130" href="#fn:130">130</a> In <a href="/facts/RPM_(magazine)/FqFN5o4x">Canada</a>, it was in the top three for 22 weeks between May 5 and September 29, 1973.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:131" href="#fn:131">131</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:132" href="#fn:132">132</a>

<h3>Label</h3>
Much of the album's early American success is attributed to the efforts of Pink Floyd's US record company, <a href="/facts/Capitol_Records/5parUIfs">Capitol Records</a>. Newly appointed chairman <a href="/facts/Bhaskar_Menon/j15dJlTg">Bhaskar Menon</a> set about trying to reverse the relatively poor sales of the band's 1971 studio album Meddle. Meanwhile, disenchanted with Capitol, the band and manager O'Rourke had been quietly negotiating a new contract with <a href="/facts/CBS/BhMsVoej">CBS</a> president <a href="/facts/Clive_Davis/qFDeWCrM">Clive Davis</a>, on <a href="/facts/Columbia_Records/yV1YYE69">Columbia Records</a>. The Dark Side of the Moon was the last album that Pink Floyd were obliged to release before formally signing a new contract. Menon's enthusiasm for the new album was such that he began a huge promotional advertising campaign, which included radio-friendly truncated versions of "Us and Them" and "Time".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:133" href="#fn:133">133</a>
In some countries – notably the UK – Pink Floyd had not released a single since 1968's "<a href="/facts/Point_Me_at_the_Sky/op52QKyB">Point Me at the Sky</a>", and unusually "Money" was released as a single on 7 May, with "Any Colour You Like" on the <a href="/facts/B-side/b3X26oFc">B-side</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:134" href="#fn:134">134</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:135" href="#fn:135">135</a> It reached number 13 on the <a href="/facts/Billboard_Hot_100/gwKl8VL9">Billboard Hot 100</a> in July 1973.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:136" href="#fn:136">136</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:137" href="#fn:137">137</a> A two-sided white label promotional version of the single, with mono and stereo mixes, was sent to radio stations. The mono side had the word "bullshit" removed from the song – leaving "bull" in its place – however, the stereo side retained the uncensored version. This was subsequently withdrawn; the replacement was sent to radio stations with a note advising disc jockeys to dispose of the first uncensored copy.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:138" href="#fn:138">138</a> On 4 February 1974, a <a href="/facts/Double_A-side/b3X26oFc">double A-side</a> single was released with "Time" on one side, and "Us and Them" on the opposite side.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:139" href="#fn:139">139</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:140" href="#fn:140">140</a> Menon's efforts to secure a contract renewal with Pink Floyd were in vain however; at the beginning of 1974, the band signed for Columbia with a reported advance fee of $1M (in Britain and Europe they continued to be represented by <a href="/facts/Harvest_Records/MDvM2yuH">Harvest Records</a>).<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:141" href="#fn:141">141</a>

<h3>Sales</h3>
The Dark Side of the Moon became one of the <a href="/facts/Best-selling_albums/6btu6YSd">best-selling albums</a> of all time<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:142" href="#fn:142">142</a> and is in the top 25 of a list of <a href="/facts/List_of_best-selling_albums_in_the_United_States/9F3ECD0e">best-selling</a> albums in the United States.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:143" href="#fn:143">143</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:144" href="#fn:144">144</a> Although it held the number one spot in the US for only a week, it remained in the <a href="/facts/Billboard_200/XtbnoFSM">Billboard 200</a> albums chart for 736 nonconsecutive weeks (from 17 March 1973 to 16 July 1988).<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:145" href="#fn:145">145</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:146" href="#fn:146">146</a> Of those first 736 charted weeks, the album had two notable consecutive runs in the Billboard 200 chart: 84 weeks (from 17 March 1973 to 19 October 1974) and 593 weeks (from 18 December 1976 to 23 April 1988).<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:147" href="#fn:147">147</a> It made its final appearance in the Billboard 200 albums chart during its initial run on the week ending 8 October 1988, in its 741st charted week.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:148" href="#fn:148">148</a> It re-appeared on the Billboard charts with the introduction of the <a href="/facts/Top_Pop_Catalog_Albums/dFtIGG2M">Top Pop Catalog Albums</a> chart in the issue dated 25 May 1991, and was still a perennial feature ten years later.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:149" href="#fn:149">149</a> It reached number one on the Pop Catalog chart when the 2003 hybrid CD/<a href="/facts/Super_Audio_CD/f4a7Gu0V">SACD</a> edition was released and sold 800,000 copies in the US.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:150" href="#fn:150">150</a> On the week of 5 May 2006 The Dark Side of the Moon achieved a combined total of 1,716 weeks on the Billboard 200 and Pop Catalog charts.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:151" href="#fn:151">151</a>
After a change in chart methodology in 2009 which allowed catalogue titles to be included in the Billboard 200,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:152" href="#fn:152">152</a> The Dark Side of the Moon returned to the chart at number 189 on 12 December of that year for its 742nd charting week.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:153" href="#fn:153">153</a> It has continued to sporadically appear on the Billboard 200 since then, with the total at 990 weeks on the chart as of May 2024.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:154" href="#fn:154">154</a> "On a slow week" between 8,000 and 9,000 copies are sold.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:155" href="#fn:155">155</a> As of April 2013, the album had sold 9,502,000 copies in the US since 1991 when <a href="/facts/Nielsen_SoundScan/vnNMy1at">Nielsen SoundScan</a> began tracking sales for Billboard.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:156" href="#fn:156">156</a> In 2007, one in every fourteen people in the US under the age of 50 was estimated to have owned a copy.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:157" href="#fn:157">157</a>

The Dark Side of the Moon was released before the introduction of <a href="/facts/Platinum_certification/zGzLFa9l">platinum certification</a> in 1976 by <a href="/facts/Recording_Industry_Association_of_America/8a7K0Ubf">Recording Industry Association of America</a> (RIAA), and therefore held only a gold certification until 16 February 1990, when it was certified 11 times platinum. On 4 June 1998, the RIAA certified the album 15× platinum,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:158" href="#fn:158">158</a> denoting sales of fifteen million in the United States. This makes it Pink Floyd's biggest-selling work there; <a href="/facts/The_Wall/aqcnIV3v">The Wall</a> is 23 times platinum, but as a double album this signifies sales of 11.5 million.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:159" href="#fn:159">159</a> "Money" has sold well as a single, and as with "Time", remains a radio favourite; in the US, for the year ending 20 April 2005, "Time" was played on 13,723 occasions, and "Money" on 13,731 occasions.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:160" href="#fn:160">160</a> In 2017, The Dark Side of the Moon was the seventh-bestselling album of all time in the UK and the highest-selling album never to reach number one.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:161" href="#fn:161">161</a> As one of the <a href="/facts/Blockbuster_(entertainment)/9hsjgCfK">blockbuster</a> LPs of the <a href="/facts/Album_era/xlYNf8FV">album era</a> (1960s–2000s), The Dark Side of the Moon also led to an increase in record sales overall into the late 1970s.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:162" href="#fn:162">162</a> In 2013, industry sources suggested that worldwide sales of The Dark Side of the Moon totalled about 45 million.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:163" href="#fn:163">163</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:164" href="#fn:164">164</a>In 1993, Gilmour attributed the album's success to the combination of music, lyrics and cover art: "All the music before had not had any great lyrical point to it. And this one was clear and concise."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:165" href="#fn:165">165</a> Mason said that, when they finished the album, Pink Floyd felt confident it was their best work to date, but were surprised by its commercial success. He said it was "not only about being a good album but also about being in the right place at the right time".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:166" href="#fn:166">166</a>
<h3>Reissues and remasters</h3>

In 1979, The Dark Side of the Moon was released as a remastered LP by <a href="/facts/Mobile_Fidelity_Sound_Lab/f7N2bQGb">Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab</a>,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:167" href="#fn:167">167</a> and in April 1988 on their "Ultradisc" gold CD format.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:168" href="#fn:168">168</a> It was released by EMI and Harvest on CD in Japan in June 1983 and<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:169" href="#fn:169">169</a> in the US and Europe in August 1984.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:170" href="#fn:170">170</a> In 1992, it was rereleased as a remastered CD in the box set <a href="/facts/Shine_On_(Pink_Floyd_album)/kERNh4To">Shine On</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:171" href="#fn:171">171</a> This version was re-released as a 20th-anniversary box set edition with postcards the following year, with a cover design by Thorgerson.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:172" href="#fn:172">172</a> On some pressings, an orchestral version of the Beatles' "<a href="/facts/Ticket_to_Ride_(song)/djMg9mwh">Ticket to Ride</a>" is faintly audible after "Eclipse" over the closing heartbeats.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:173" href="#fn:173">173</a>

<h4>30th-anniversary 5.1 surround sound mix</h4>

A quadraphonic mix,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:174" href="#fn:174">174</a> created by Alan Parsons,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:175" href="#fn:175">175</a> was commissioned by EMI but never endorsed by Pink Floyd, as Parsons was disappointed with his mix.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:176" href="#fn:176">176</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:177" href="#fn:177">177</a> For the album's 30th anniversary, an updated surround version was released in 2003. The band elected not to use Parsons' quadraphonic mix, and instead had the engineer <a href="/facts/James_Guthrie_(record_producer)/1F3c0bQY">James Guthrie</a> create a new <a href="/facts/5.1/06YwT1nX">5.1</a> channel surround sound mix on the <a href="/facts/Super_Audio_CD/f4a7Gu0V">SACD</a> format.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:178" href="#fn:178">178</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:179" href="#fn:179">179</a> Guthrie had worked with Pink Floyd since their eleventh album, The Wall, and had previously worked on surround versions of <a href="/facts/Pink_Floyd_%25E2%2580%2593_The_Wall/n0Tfn6zr">The Wall</a> for DVD-Video and Waters' <a href="/facts/In_the_Flesh_(Roger_Waters_tour)/nq8NtaKq">In the Flesh</a> for SACD. In 2003, Parsons expressed disappointment with Guthrie's SACD mix, suggesting he was "possibly a little too true to the original mix", but was generally complimentary.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:180" href="#fn:180">180</a> The 30th-anniversary edition won four Surround Music Awards in 2003,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:181" href="#fn:181">181</a> and sold more than 800,000 copies.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:182" href="#fn:182">182</a>
The cover image of the 30th-anniversary edition was created by a team of designers including Thorgerson.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:183" href="#fn:183">183</a> The image is a photograph of a custom-made <a href="/facts/Stained_glass/oUCut2Mc">stained glass</a> window, built to match the dimensions and proportions of the original prism design. Transparent glass, held in place by strips of lead, was used in place of the opaque colours of the original. The idea is derived from the "sense of purity in the sound quality, being 5.1 surround sound ..." The image was created out of a desire to be "the same but different, such that the design was clearly DSotM, still the recognisable prism design, but was different and hence new".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:184" href="#fn:184">184</a>

<h4>Later reissues</h4>
The Dark Side of the Moon was rereleased in 2003 on 180-gram virgin vinyl and mastered by Kevin Gray at AcousTech Mastering.

<h2 id="legacy">Legacy</h2>

The success of the album brought wealth to all four members of the band; Richard Wright and Roger Waters bought large country houses, and Nick Mason became a collector of upmarket cars.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:191" href="#fn:191">191</a> The group were fans of the British comedy troupe <a href="/facts/Monty_Python/tNPcRLty">Monty Python</a>, and as such, some of the profits were invested in the production of <a href="/facts/Monty_Python_and_the_Holy_Grail/X0PxP2HA">Monty Python and the Holy Grail</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:192" href="#fn:192">192</a> Parsons received a <a href="/facts/Grammy_Award/2bxYJjPV">Grammy Award</a> nomination for <a href="/facts/Best_Engineered_Recording%2c_Non-Classical/G74lhVX5">Best Engineered Recording, Non-Classical</a> for The Dark Side of the Moon,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:193" href="#fn:193">193</a> and he went on to have a successful career as a recording artist with <a href="/facts/The_Alan_Parsons_Project/lPMeMXRk">the Alan Parsons Project</a>. Although Waters and Gilmour have on occasion downplayed his contribution to the success, Mason praised his role.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:194" href="#fn:194">194</a> In 2003, Parsons reflected: "I think they all felt that I managed to hang the rest of my career on Dark Side of the Moon, which has an element of truth to it. But I still wake up occasionally, frustrated about the fact that they made untold millions and a lot of the people involved in the record didn't."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:195" href="#fn:195">195</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:196" href="#fn:196">196</a>
Part of the legacy of The Dark Side of the Moon is its influence on modern music and on the musicians who have performed <a href="/facts/Cover_version/77Teealn">cover versions</a> of its songs. It is often seen as a pivotal point in the history of rock music, and comparisons are sometimes made with <a href="/facts/Radiohead/6TVeLFk7">Radiohead</a>'s 1997 album <a href="/facts/OK_Computer/0xwWl8f4">OK Computer</a>,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:197" href="#fn:197">197</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:198" href="#fn:198">198</a> including a premise explored by Ben Schleifer in 'Speak to Me': The Legacy of Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon (2006) that the two albums share a theme that "the creative individual loses the ability to function in the [modern] world".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:199" href="#fn:199">199</a>
In a 2018 book about <a href="/facts/Classic_rock/XelnbBW3">classic rock</a>, <a href="/facts/Steven_Hyden/SWuDYkSd">Steven Hyden</a> recalls concluding, in his teens, that The Dark Side of the Moon and <a href="/facts/Led_Zeppelin_IV/WTIQ63NW">Led Zeppelin IV</a> were the two greatest albums of the genre, <a href="/facts/Vision_quest/FjqVHQlP">vision quests</a> "encompass[ing] the twin poles of teenage desire". They had similarities, in that both albums' cover and internal artwork eschew pictures of the bands in favour of "inscrutable iconography without any tangible meaning (which always seemed to give the music packaged inside more meaning)". But whereas Led Zeppelin had looked outward, toward "conquering the world" and were known at the time for their outrageous sexual antics on tour, Pink Floyd looked inward, toward "overcoming your own hang-ups".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:200" href="#fn:200">200</a> In 2013, The Dark Side of the Moon was selected for preservation in the United States <a href="/facts/National_Recording_Registry/RtA6oMEb">National Recording Registry</a> by the <a href="/facts/Library_of_Congress/TfB6dEN5">Library of Congress</a> as "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:201" href="#fn:201">201</a>
