The Dark side of the moon is the Eigth studio album by the English
psychedelic band Pink Floyd. It is considered to be as one of the best band of
The Pink Floyd and one of the greatest album of all time.
It has sold 45 million copy and is second highest selling album in
rolling stones. Despite being beloved for at least three generations now,
though, there are still a few mysteries that the album reveals only to the most
dedicated Floyd freaks. Some of the most fascinating ones are
· The album
was nominated for only one Grammy and it was also only for the producer Alan
Parsons
·
Clare
Torry was shocked the band liked her voice so much in the very unique
"Great Gig in the sky"
·
The album hit number one on the US charts for one week in
1973. David Gilmour had had a bet with manager Steve O'Rourke that the album
wouldn't crack the US top 10
·
The title of the album was almost "Eclipse" when
British Rock duo Medicine Head came up with their own album Dark Side of
The Moon .
·
The "stoned" laughter used in the background of
Speak to Me and Brain Damage is from Peter Watts, a road manager for the Floyd
pictured on the back of the Ummagumma sleeve. His daughter, Naomi Watts, is a
famous actress that has appeared in several films and was named one of the 50
Most Beautiful People by People Magazine in 2002. Sadly, Peter Watts died of a
drug overdose in 1976.
·
The album leaked a year early. The band was terrified when
bootleg performed their full album prior a year of an actual release.
