Oh yeah, we’ll the copy I’ve got, Jerry Garcia snorted coke on the jacket, left a handprint of his right hand from a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on, and signed the album. Now, I’d say that pretty rare.

I love you just showing the different pressings of the album and what makes them unique. I am a collector myself (more so on the CD and cassette side) and I seem to be diving into this kind of collecting. I think it means more to have all these cool pressings from a band I like, than trying to get a little bit of everything from all of my favourite bands and just digging myself a financial hole in doing so. This is the first time I am seeing a video of yours, I hope I can find more videos just displaying your records like this (I personally am not an audiophile so the sound quality doesn't interest me unless it is significant enough.)

As always I think you're crazy Mike I picked up a 40th anniversary of dark side of the moon for $22 it doesn't have a tick or a pop or anything on it it is clean as you can get a record and that's good enough for me and I'm sure 99.9% of us would love to have a copy like that, this searching for the holy Grail is crazy🤔

Best version I've ever heard was DSOM (white) from the Netherlands. It was at the RMAF in 2015 on a blend of Red Wine Audio, McIntosh tube, and Zu Audio speakers. It drew some very serious attention and no one left the room until the album was complete.

Fingers crossed for a 50th Anniversary UHQR. Just hope that if they do it, it's at 33 not 45. I know audiophiles will defend 45 to the ends of the earth, but it is an album that should not be broken up, imo. The flow is too important to the overall presentation.

I think the orig Japanese test pressing with the live cover shot is rarer but that is a tasty item. Personally I prefer the orig Japanese Odeon over the 30th but it's a close run thing. The Japanese issue sounds more like a band, better definition but the 30th sounds more iconic with boosted bass.

It is a good album, however I'm pretty happy with my remastered 2011 vinyl pressing of that record, really if you heard it on Spotify or KZfaq before then any vinyl version will cut an edge to that simply because it's a different experience on vinyl, compared to CDs or digital stream. It is because the natural pause after "the great gig in the sky" which is interesting because there is a meaning to having to get up and change side after the first side itself is about life and death putting you subconsciously in the mood for the next side which is about society and modern life too it puts in question why we get up and carry on and why we do that and then "money" starts and we on for the next ride in the album. Pink Floyd really put alot of thoughts into the album.

I’m certain that any one who has that wants stupid money for it. I prefer the Toshiba/EMI over the UHQR, but the UHQR is a close second. Can’t afford either as they both command big money and this is the most iconic of all Pink Floyd’s albums and certainly the most loved. I can always wish!
