I just had my first experience of a rather different video format. And I loved it. The material certainly helped. Last year was the 50th anniversary of Pink Floyd’s ‘The Dark Side of the Moon’, originally released back in 1973 on vinyl, cassette and 8-track. And on quadraphonic vinyl! It’s a documented fact* that more weed was smoked listening to Dark Side in the 1970s than was consumed by US forces during the whole Vietnam War.
The album transferred to new formats as they arrived, of course, while every key anniversary has brought new editions, remasters, remixes: on Discogs there are more than 1000 different versions listed for ‘The Dark Side of the Moon’.
