Best "dark side of the moon"

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.

prefer the UHQR. but the VTA must be 'just right'. the regular MoFi is also very good and very VTA sensitive.

as this is not exactly a perfect natural recording, who is to say what is right. it becomes a bit of a taste issue. then maybe whether one's system is full range and can handle big bass without bloat. some rooms cannot contain the bass.

as my system matured and improved the relative attraction of different pressings changed. this happenned with many MoFi's, not just DSOTM.
