| Best vinyl pressing of DSOTM? I'm new here - pleased to meet you all. I signed up because I was looking for a group of Floyd authorities to ask: what, in people's opinions, is the best vinyl pressing of The Dark Side of the Moon? I've had my n-th pressing of the SHVL 804 LP for years but it's not got the clearest sound and there's a bit of surface noise so I was considering upgrading. If I do, what edition would people recommend? The 1997 Centenary edition? The 2003 remaster? Or, in fact, is the 1973 original the best I'll find? I'd really appreciate your thoughts. Thanks!

| Re: Best vinyl pressing of DSOTM? For me, it's the original UK first pressing (A2 / B2 matrix numbers - I don't think anyones discovered an A1 /B1 matrix copy yet. Or have they...?). Nothing else comes close. Try finding a mint one though...! I'm interested to see what the 2011 remastered edition sounds like... |

| Re: Best vinyl pressing of DSOTM? I couldn't easily afford a U.K. copy probably, but for U.S. issues, you want the same thing, a 1st issue with a low stamping number (like A1 or A2 ). There were a LOT sold, but finding a copy that's not all scratched up or warped isn't always easy. My best copy right now is a 3rd pressing, that sounds great, but I also have a 1st pressing with Wly on both sides, with a slight warp. I'm hoping I can get lucky, & straighten the warp. |
