I’m from the US and this is one of the best unboxing videos of Pink Floyd’s 50th box set I’ve seen! Now a new subscriber. Thanks for this video!
Very cool indeed my dad has 1973 original version of Dark Side of The Moon. I have at least 2 CD versions of it and vinly I got at your shop last year. This does look great am guessing not going to cheap. Very good un boxing video here. 👍👍🎸🎸
Gracias por compartirlo....desde El Salvador, es un reliquia y lo disfruté mucho como lo mostraste a tu público...acá lo escuche desde esa fecha aproximadamente...tenía como 14-15 años cuando lo escuché la primera vez y nunca los pude ver en concierto...todo fue por revistas, posters y otros......fue una experiencia fuera de este mundo.Gracias!
Nice unboxing and content. I liked that you gave the music notation a go too :) thumbs up. Shame I missed that rear PF record!

This is the first vinyl i ever bought and it was a gift for a friend of mine who collects vinyls and is a big floyd fan too
As has been said before, a nice looking item but far too expensive for me. I bought the Immersion edition when that came out and that gives me what I need without desiring this new version. Unless we get more releases during the year I think they’ve missed an opportunity here for something that the fans would really want to buy. The Alan Parsons mix on a stand alone LP would be a great item and maybe the ‘official’ release of some cleaned up audience recordings/bootlegs of DSOTM on vinyl. I have that Kohoutek vinyl bootleg along with a few other early DSOTM bootlegs but a release from Floyd of a handful of those would be something I’d love to own.

I agree. I have the immersion version too and it has enough material...even more than this version actually. It has the live '74, it has rarities, demos, an early mix, early versions of the songs, songs that were left out, 5.1, quad...this version not worth the price for me
Amazing!
The poster of the clocks is a frame form the original animation played in the background when on tour. The live cover is not a mockup as much as a recreation of the original production artwork. he cover was done mostly at the printer following the guides and placement shown on the original paste up board. It was the work of film negatives and film screen combinations. With computers doing the output work these days, not many people understand how some commercial artwork was produced back in the day.
glad i bought mine the week it came out ...march 1973...at the Forest Record store on wayne ave.....$2.97....still listen to this beautiful Harvest issue recording
Got the album when I was 14, not long after it came out. Still playing it today, or at least the 2016 remaster which I also have. My original (probably 2nd or 3rd repress reissue way back then) still comes out every so often and sounds just as good. Incidentally, I also have the 1994 digital version on CD. That also sounds very good and very rich and clear. Over the years I laughed at the silly suggestions that Wizard of Oz was somehow linked to this album. I also laughed at people who said that this album could only be properly appreciated while under the influence of certain substances. Yeah, right 🙄
DVD is the 5.1 Surround cd which is awesome!
I love your sweater, reminds me of what Damon Albarn was wearing in the Beetlebum video!!! Great unbox video
I saw and heard Dark Side of the Moon at the Hansen Planetarium in Laser Rock when it first premiered in Salt Lake City, Utah. I was in high school, with five friends and we're all on LSD. It was incredible. I did see The Wall tour at Red Rocks, Colorado. Only time I got to see the classic line up minus Syd.

Hi Tasty Records, thank you for a good review, I think that your enthusiasm for this box set was very well articulated and conveyed (thank you for that), my enthusiasm however is not on the same page as yours. I have at home 5 copies of Dark Side of The Moon, these comprise of a cassette which I bought back in 1986-87 when I was only 14 years old, the twentieth anniversary edition on CD, the Immersion Box Set, the Discography Box set version, and the Sapporo - Live in Japan version (the latter being excruciating to listen to). I think in your review you might have told the viewer of the price of the set and how you would give an estimated value in 5, 10, 15, 20 years time if in good condition. I actually think Gilmour and Co. should have released the box sets as a limited edition on release for a certain time only, additionally, the first x amount of sets would have signatures (time dated as Richard Wright is no longer with us, respectively) inside. What has been included in this box set is not enough for me to justify £200+ quid, for me it has to be an investment. "Oh by the way"- (no pun intended), I did not open up the Immersion Box Set and have left it sealed. I am a super fan of Pink Floyd, but some of the merchandising of late really feels like I am being taken for a bit of mug and to put it in Floyd speak, its leaving me "uncomfortably numb".
Am sure I mentioned this back in 2017 going to The Victoria and Albert museum to go round the truly amazing Pink Floyd exhibition. You could mix tracks from Dark Side of The Moon. 🎸🎸👍👍

Good video
Fantastic & fascinating unboxing video Tasty Records, and thanks for sharing. So I'm just wondering if you could clear up what I believe to be the truth - but as an independent Record Store - then maybe you might be able to be more factual. But as I am old enough to own the original LP (unfortunately, not with that blue label - I checked straight away ; ). But on the song US & THEM on that original LP, there is the opening Sax Solo that has one extra line/run on the Record. Yet it seems in every remaster since then, I have never found a version that has that last run just before the singing starts. On all the remasters including this one, that last run before the vocals is always missing - and I always wondered if it was damaged on the original tapes, so is now therefore unusable?
I bought two of these at a local record shop. One will stay unboxed for now but the other one is now opened and I did my own unboxing of it in synch with your video. Well done on this video!

Thanks for the detailed video. The drama of it all is that you can sell people a well-known album over and over again in countless remasters, digital copies and box sets. Other artists then have to wait for their works to be pressed and finished. Waste of resources par excellence. By the way, I don't need an album in 1001 versions. This applies to all bands and artists who do this. Music should be heard above all....

Much as I love DSOTM, I cannot abide Pink Floyd box sets. Pulse and Delicate Sounds Of Thunder blu rays are just picture books. Not taking away from the amazing concert but, bonus wise, sorely lacking. Even the book shown is underwhelming to me. I'm sure beyond a doubt it sounds amazing. I also ADORE Us And Them:Symphonic Pink Floyd by Youth and Jaz Coleman. Incredible album encompassing DOSTM and Wall songs. Nice shout out to Wizard Of Oz. Having a dvd of that would have been a sweet bonus. I do concur that an atmos and blu ray combined blu ray would have been much better. Nice booklet after the sheet music. Epic points for the sheet music book, however.

Did they remaster it or is it the same version that Sony put out before? I'm debating whether to get it. I'm not overly interested in the extras; I just want to know if I should save money and get the one Sony has out now instead.
