In the pantheon of recorded music, there are albums, and then there are artifacts . Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side of the Moon is firmly in the latter category. Since its release in 1973, it has served as the universal benchmark for sonic excellence, spatial imaging, and conceptual cohesion. For fifty years, fans have debated the merits of various pressings: the original UK Harvest vinyl, the Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab (MFSL) Ultradisc, and the 2003 30th Anniversary SACD.

In the early 2000s, Sony and Philips were pushing Super Audio CD as the heir to the Red Book CD throne.
