Dark side of the moon vinyl 2011 review.
I am pretty sure that i own most editions of dark side of the moon that have come out on cd.
33 rpm reviewed in the united kingdom on 20 april 2017 seemless recording quality good pressing.
The lp is housed in a gatefold sleeve printed on a black matte cardboard which also includes two stickers and two original posters with art by hipgnosis.
Carefully remastered from the original master tapes the sound is smooth warm and not clinical in any way shape or form.
In general the recorded sound reproduction is actually pretty outstanding.
Whilst the dark side of the moon is my favourite floyd album i would also like to clearly state that floyd s wish you wer here animals and lastly the wall are also exquisitely sublime to.
Dunno how much better it is than the 30th anniversary edition but listening to it on my ipod classic be rest assured that the album sounds fantastic as it should.
The most recent vinyl re issue of the dark side of the moon is the 2016 remastered edition on heavyweight 180gr vinyl.
I bought this 180 gram audiophile pressing of dark side of the moon expecting it to sound pretty great.
The full record was remastered from the original analogue tapes by james guthrie joel plante and bernie grundman.
But for my money anyway pink floyd have never bettered this album.
The sound quality as expected is superb.
However for a so called audiophile pressing i am extremely disappointed with the surface noise clicks and skipping.
I have a few copies of the off the shelf original edition the box set edition gold edition and now this latest one that seems to be a remastering done in 2016.
4 0 out of 5 stars the dark side of the moon vinyl remaster.
First dark side of the moon itself we all know how brilliant the album is so there s no need for me to review it.
The dark side of the moon was also re released in 2003 on 180 gram virgin vinyl mastered by kevin gray at acoustech mastering and included slightly different versions of the original posters and stickers that came with the original vinyl release along with a new 30th anniversary poster.
