    Beside my Canada Firstpress, this is the most really satisfying version I've heard.
    (Out of about 10? versions...)
    Compliments to the remastering-team.
    No need to search for something that will never come.
    Cleaning is a must...

      If there’s anything that could be considered a perfect album, it’s this!

        Pretty decent mastering, but the overall sound is a bit flat for my tastes.

          Exquisite Record Industry pressing and enjoyable mastering for the money. The only cut ive heard that truly notably bests this is the Mofi which itself was notably better than the nm OG UK i sold.

            Sounds very good after a cleaning. Very well balanced, clean and crisp sound except during some high frequencies distortion for during final solo guitar of time. Cover material is rubbery thats is nice. Highly recomended at a good price

              Not a nice pressing. I’ve owned this for just over a year from new and I have played it a few times and each time I do I just get more frustrated with it.

              Noisy pressing with audible clicks in places even after cleaning. Over emphasised sibilance which is on the limits of acceptable, the track Eclipse at the end of side 2 is just a sonic mess and I am 100% confident it is not my equipment it is this particular record.

              My copy has always had a slight warp to it too, not a really bad warp but it is slightly dished. The album is redeemed by being mostly well mastered, it’s deep and bright and it’s a well known classic album with some great music here. It’s just a lousy pressing.

              Would love an original, but they go for silly money and can have defects with skipping issues. I think the CD of the original mastering will remain my go to, but that also reveals some limitations in the original recording such as over saturation. It’s not the audiophile grade record the hyperbole makes it out to be, there are much better albums than this sonically, but it is mostly good.

                If I could put six stars, I’d use it here.

                  UPDATE: 12/26/2023 I received a replacement copy from the seller Starship Records and this time the vinyl is flawless! No complaints, as everything is perfect. Dark Side Of The Moon is timeless and this AAA 2016 edition was superbly remastered!

                  For the life of me I don't know how an iconic album like this gets past quality control in the pressing plant. My copy not only had paper debris but large scuff marks on both sides. The first track on side 1 " Speak To Me" is ruined by very audible ticks and some static. The song is quiet, so the noise stands out. Side 2 "Money" has 1 momentary pop and overall is not as noisy, as the cash ringing at the beginning, where the scruff mark is, drowns it out. Shame, since the replication of the jacket, posters and stickers are beautiful.

                    4/5 - perfect remaster if you take top-end from the equation.... because too much gain like over 10-12kHZ, one some tracks percussions are too sharp to be natural plus vinyl quality is medicore. I played this vinyl like max 15 times with a great care and it's already a bit noisy and cracky

                      Noisy vinyl. Distorted at some points. At the beginning of side 1 there are some sort of pops that I don't have on any of my other vinyl
