Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon - 50th Anniversary Atmos mix in 2023! (Standalone BD coming in October!)

[boxhead]

No, it's not the original mix. It was a work-in-progress mix created for the band to listen to and review and was never intended to represent a final mix. The original mix was on the official release and is still the only stereo mix.

True, however after wearing out my original stereo LP I re-bought, by which time the only version available was the SQ. This LP played on a normal stereo sounded quite different to the original. It was the only version available for quite some time, at least in Australia.

That was a quad mix, not stereo.

I noticed there are a few live DSOTM concert releases coming up, that I assume already existed as boots, but it looks like they are getting official releases now?

2 examples:

If you lookup the catalog numbers, you'll see they are unofficial bootlegs

 

[Electric Moo]

Well what's all that about? It appears they are "harvesting" someone elses work & selling it for a profit?

I had the chance to see it a the Montréal Planetarium (my wife bought tickets for the whole family because she knew I liked the Dark Side Of The Moon and that the kids sometimes like Pink Floyd). It's currently playing at the SAT (Société des Arts Technologique) in Montréal.

I suspect thats because they are now out of copyright, as over 50 years old so recorded in 1972, and so the bootlegs can be released by anyone with a tape . I bought a Dave Gilmour and a Genesis live thinking they were official releases, and the sound quality is dire. Avoid for more than one reason!

Nick Mason was once quoted as saying he has a couple of Floyd bootlegs so he can remind himself from time to time how terrible most of them sound.

The 50 years copyright is common in many countries but not universal worldwide.

I thought PF officially ( & temporarily ) released all those boots on youtube a couple years ago, specifically to retain copyright over them?

Correct, and they've also been selling them and temporarily put them on streaming sites.

Poor fella's.
We know how badly they need the money.

A lot of bands did that. The Beatles released a load of stuff including B sides for one day on Apple Music to retain copyright and then withdrew them, which is a pretty cynical thing to do. Either release it and leave it available, or don't release it at all is my view.

I'm probably confused but is it PF - The Band?
I thought they sold all the copyrights or something like that?
I don't understand these dang legal, suite & tie, things ???
And I believe we're not supposed to, that's their plan.

 

[Electric Moo]

Yeah probably a wise thing to do, otherwise you are SOL from a business/legal perspective. Especially if you are shopping your catalog around to buyers.

My new Atmos 9.1 receiver shows up on Saturday. I'm a bit nervous about installing my new ceiling speakers but giving it a shot nonetheless.

Please let us know how it goes. I'm in a similar boat.

Lol; now I feel special; I have to be one of the only Brisbane-ites on this forum. Cheers for the tip! lol

It went great. Speakers came with a template for the holes and speakers had a unique way to simply secure themselves. Here are the ones I bought.

Everything sounds great!
