Pink Floyd’s 1973 opus The Dark Side of the Moon has an abundance of myths surrounding it. There’s its compelling, yet elusive concept - which drifts listeners along the ebb and flow of time - and out beyond the limits of sanity. Then there’s the gamut of state-of-the-art technology, synths and all-new recording processes deployed during its making. And, of course, there’s that still-persistent urban legend around it synchronising perfectly with The Wizard of Oz.
Its a record infused with magic and mystery, which didn't prevent it from becoming one of the biggest-selling albums of all time.
Apt then that such a totemic record was assembled at Abbey Road (then known as EMI Studios) - the creative HQ of the previous decade’s most prolific band.
