Pink Floyd release a standalone version of the remastered 'The Dark Side Of The Moon'
It was released as part of a box set earlier this year
Last updated 13th Oct 2023
Following the exciting re-release of 'The Dark Side Of The Moon' as part of a remastered 50th anniversary box set, the album is now available as a standalone CD, LP or Blu-ray.
Fans can get their hands on this new release now. The Blu-ray version is also available with postcards, stickers and a 24-page booklet.
Since announcing the news, fans have been taking to social media to express their excitement.
One fan wrote: 'Today being my Bday, I treated myself to the Dolby Atmos version; can’t wait to listen!', (sic) with another saying: 'Awesome!! Love this album and on vinyl 🤘🎸🤘 pre ordering now!'
In March this year, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the album, ‘The Dark Side of the Moon’ was released with a deluxe box set and official book. Costing £215, the deluxe ‘The Dark Side of the Moon’ box set boasted the CD and gatefold vinyl of the new 2023 remastered studio album, and Blu-Ray and DVD audio featured the original 5.1 mix and remastered stereo versions.
To celebrate the release of the 50th anniversary edition, the band held a special listening event, which took place during a solar eclipse in Australia. On Thursday 20th April, the Sun, Moon and Earth aligned to create a total solar eclipse just off the Western Australia coast.
Eight fans listened to 'The Dark Side of the Moon' in full, while standing next to a colossal black pyramid, as the 1973 record in its entirety played. Roger Waters’ closing lines "But the sun is eclipsed by the moon…" were timed to align with the moment of total eclipse.
