Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon Japan CDs

Actually, my disc is a late 80's Swindon disc, but it's digitally identical to the majority (in light of DogOfDoom's findings) of TOs out there, and yes, totally different mastering/analogue transfer etc.


.... Andreas sent me a sample of his "1992/1994" disc, and I can verify the samples were from this same mastering, and isn't really a 92/94 at all. Does anyone have any idea how that happened??

 

I was wondering whether anyone has yet evaluated the Japanese TOCP-65740 Mini LP?

 

This that the best release? ;-)

 

Actually, I was at a friends house recently listening to some vinyl, and one of the LPs was an old US pressing of DSOTM that had barely been touched. It's funny but I don't recall any digital remastering sounding quite as smooth and balanced as it did on that vinyl. Maybe there are a variety of reasons for that (including the fact that I was hearing this through some vintage AR's) but it was nice to hear it that way for once.

I know what my favorite CD of DSOTM is, but best release? Beauty is in the ear of the beholder.

I can well believe it. I realised something wasn't right with my first DSOTM CD when I heard a UK vinyl copy, played by a radio station with a 1W transmitter.
