Best "dark side of the moon"


what is the best pressing of the Pink Floyd LP? I have seen some in the 300-500 dollar range... what is the best? and does it compare to the dvd/sacd version of the album?

I have several versions on Vinyl up to the 30th aniv pressing and my SACD blows them away as it sounds just as good if not better and has no snap crackle pop. Often Vinyl is best way to go but this time it wasnt so for me.
You could do a search of the forums as this has been asked many times, IMHO:

1) Japanese "Pro-Use" half speed.

2) Mobile Fidelity UHQR half speed

3) German first pressing (almost a tie with the UHQR but with very different strengths and weaknesses).

4) British Harvest First pressing.

Skip all US pressings including the horrible regular Mobile Fidelity, ditto the standard Japanese release.
Oh, and just so that you can tell your arse from your elbow:

Happy hunting.
Until now, I thought my MoFi DSOTM sounded really good.

Then, Viridian harshed my mellow...
For a change of pace. This may be blasphemy to some... but Easy Star All Star's (think they're out of Britain).. does the entire DSOTM in dub.

Appropriately called: "Dub Side of The Moon".. hahaha

They also re-do Radiohead's "OK Computer"

Both come in vinyl.
