Great read on the 50th anniversary of one of my favorites when it came out, I was 15 years old and having the time of my life, motorcycles, girls, pot, and great music like Dark Side of the Moon. I remember buying the album that day at my local record store downtown. Still have it, the stickers are long gone but I still have the posters that came in it, with torn corners torn off of course from hanging up in my room, college dorm and many other back then walls. I love this album.
We had a neighbour way back when who used to blast this record late at night. Created a wonderful spooky mood, would leave us wondering is this the moment when he's slouched in his armchair with his knife clenched between his teeth? Did he just stab his wife or vice versa. They were always screaming at each other, but years later we saw them still together, happy family still.Â
I bought that cd years later but it didn't have the magic for me back when Crazy Jim was blasting it into the night. Plus to hear how the band and record company treated so badly that lady who provided that dramatic pause that provided that moment of greatness for the record, it was a real turn off. Sure loved it back then though.
🤙Was loved upon release straight thru to today, having lost none of its brilliance - generation after generation discovers it anewÂ
Roger Daltrey would agree & happy birthday Roger, 79 today🎼🎶Â
