Watch the 30th anniversary version of how 'Dark Side Of The Moon' was made.
'The making of The Dark Side of The Moon is one of the great stories in Rock History. Made especially for the 30th anniversary this programme lets you hear that story, and charts the albums progression to SACD and 5.1 surround sound as told by the band themselves, featuring brand new interviews along with rare and unseen live footage and stage projections from the original live show'
On 31st March 2003, EMI Records released Pink Floyd's 'The Dark Side Of The Moon' on Super Audio CD (SACD) format, to commemorate the 30th Anniversary of the title. This marks the first time Pink Floyd's seminal recording will be presented in full 5.1 surround sound.
'The Dark Side Of The Moon' has had a phenomenal impact since it was first released on 24th March, 1973. Widely acknowledged as one of the greatest British rock albums of all time, 'The Dark Side Of The Moon' remains a truly extraordinary recording, notching up sales in excess of a staggering 35 million worldwide to date.
To create the first 5.1 surround sound mix of 'The Dark Side Of The Moon', long time Pink Floyd producer/engineer James Guthrie utilized the 16-track tapes from the original recording sessions, remastering the tracks on custom-built electronics before final transferring to SACD format. The results are hugely impressive, retaining the spellbinding atmosphere of the original analogue recordings whilst faithfully capturing the full dynamic evocative range of Pink Floyd's intricately layered music.

The listener will have two disc layers to choose from. The first layer contains the album playable on any CD system. The second includes a high resolution stereo version, plus a 5.1 surround sound mix that plays on SACD-compatible DVD players and home theatre systems. Both layers employ SACD's Direct Stream Digital (DSD) encoding process that samples the music 64 times faster than CD for unprecedented sound quality.
The 30th Anniversary release of 'The Dark Side Of The Moon' will be presented with a newly artworked prism, created by original sleeve artist and renowned designer, Storm Thorgerson.
