Take a deep dive into one of the best-selling albums ever on the 50th anniversary of its release with this beautifully produced and authoritatively written slipcased edition.

Veteran rock critic Martin Popoff leaves no stone unturned in taking apart Pink Floyd's generation-spanning masterpiece, The Dark Side of the Moon, while exploring each of the album's 10 tracks and their themes of madness, anxiety, and alienation. Chapters cover:

  • The state of Pink Floyd as of 1972, with special emphasis on deposed founder Syd Barrett
  • The recording sessions at famed Abbey Road Studios, including techniques used and the roles of personnel such as engineer Alan Parsons
  • Song-by-song studies of each album side, including analyses of lyrics and the guitars, drums, keyboards, and synthesizers employed by members David Gilmour, Roger Waters, Nick Mason, and Richard Wright
  • The ground-breaking art and packaging created by design firm Hipgnosis and its founder Storm Thorgerson
  • The continent-hopping tours that supported the album and also introduced the songs before its release
  • The rock group's trajectory post-Dark Side, including notable albums, tours, and the departure of Waters
