DESCRIPTION

The Dark Side of the Moon is the eighth album by the English progressive rock band Pink Floyd, released on 1 March 1973 by Harvest Records. The album built on ideas explored in earlier recordings and live shows, but lacks the extended instrumental excursions that characterised their earlier work. Its themes explore conflict, greed, the passage of time, and mental illness, the latter partly inspired by the deteriorating health of founding member Syd Barrett, who departed the group in 1968.
