Pink Floyd's "The Dark Side Of The Moon" was released in March 24, 1973, becoming one of the most successful albums of all times and selling more than 35 million copies worldwide. This album was recorded in two sessions in 1972 and 1973 at Abbey Road Studios in London and it's been considered as an icon in rock music history. The group used impressive sound effects, like sampled sounds of clinking coins and cash registers turned intro rhythmic accompaniment, much before the advent of digital recording, and used some of the most advanced recording techniques for that time like multitrack recording and tape loops.
"The Dark Side Of The Moon" remained on Billboard's 200 album chart for 741 weeks straight and then for another two years when it was remastered back in 1994.
The recording engineer for this album was Alan Parsons.
