This month’s featured item is a fully hand signed copy of Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side of the Moon.”
The Dark Side of the Moon was released first in the US on 1 March 1973, and then in the UK on 24 March. It became an instant chart success in Britain and throughout Western Europe; by the following month, it had gained a gold certification in the UK and US.
Throughout March 1973 the band played the album as part of their US tour, including a midnight performance at Radio City Music Hall in New York on 17 March, watched by an audience of 6,000. Highlights included an aircraft launched from the back of the hall at the end of “On the Run”, which ‘crashed’ into the stage in a cloud of orange smoke. The album reached the Billboard Top LPs & Tapes chart’s number one spot on 28 April 1973, and was so successful that the band returned two months later for another tour.
This is a very good quality copy of the LP and has been hand signed in silver pen by Nick Mason, Roger Waters, Richard Wright and David Gilmour. A very rare piece and sure fire investment.
