Remastered for the 50th Anniversary, the eighth full-length studio album by legendary British Progressive Rock band.
Primarily developed during live performances, the band premiered an early version of the record several months before recording began. New material was recorded in two sessions in 1972 and 1973 at Abbey Road Studios in London. The band used advanced recording techniques at the time, including multitrack recording, tape loops, and analogue synthesizers. Snippets from interviews with the band's road crew, as well as philosophical quotations, were also used. Engineer Alan Parsons was responsible for many sonic aspects and the recruitment of singer Clare Torry, who appears on "The Great Gig in the Sky".
The record builds on ideas explored in Pink Floyd's earlier recordings and performances, while omitting the extended instrumentals that characterised their earlier work. A concept album, its themes explore conflict, greed, time, death, and mental illness, the latter partly inspired by the deteriorating health of founding member Syd Barrett, who departed the band in 1968.
The iconic sleeve, which depicts a prism spectrum, was designed by Storm Thorgerson, following keyboardist Richard Wright's request for a "simple and bold" design, representing the band's lighting and the record's themes.
"The Dark Side Of The Moon" helped to propel Pink Floyd to international fame, bringing wealth and recognition to all four of its members. It has been hailed by critics as one of the greatest albums of all time. 
In the UK, it is the seventh-best-selling album of all time and the highest selling album never to reach number one.
In the US the LP was released before the introduction of Platinum awards in 1976. It therefore held only a Gold disc until 16 February 1990, when it was certified 11× Platinum. On 4 June 1998 the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) certified the album 15× Platinum, denoting sales of 15,000,000 in the United States – making it their biggest-selling work there ("The Wall" is 23× Platinum, but as a double album this signifies sales of 11,500,000).
The record reached number one on the US Billboard Top LPs & Tape chart (now known as the Billboard 200). Although it held the number one spot in the US for only a week, it remained in the Billboard album chart for 741 weeks from 1973 to 1988. The album re-appeared on the Billboard charts with the introduction of the Top Pop Catalog Albums chart in May 1991, and has been a perennial feature since then. On the week of 5 May 2006, "The Dark Side Of The Moon" achieved a combined total of 1,716 weeks on the Billboard 200 and Pop Catalog charts. Upon a change in methodology in 2009 allowing catalogue titles to be included in the Billboard 200, "The Dark Side Of The Moon" returned to the chart at number 189 on 12 December of that year for its 742nd charting week. It has continued to sporadically appear on the Billboard 200 since then, with the total at 943 weeks on the chart as of June 2019.
With estimated sales of over 45,000,000 copies, "The Dark Side Of The Moon" became one of the best-selling albums worldwide of all time and is in the top 25 of a list of best-selling albums in the United States.
"The Dark Side Of The Moon" has frequently appeared on rankings of the greatest albums of all-time. In 1987, Rolling Stone listed the record 35th on its "Top 100 Albums of the Last 20 Years", and sixteen years later, in 2003, the album polled in 43rd position on the magazine's list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time", and was voted 43rd again on the magazine's 2012 list. It came 29th in The Observer's 2006 list of "The 50 Albums That Changed Music", and 37th in The Guardian's 1997 list of the "100 Best Albums Ever", as voted for by a panel of artists and music critics. In 2013, "The Dark Side Of The Moon" was selected for preservation in the United States National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress for being deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".

The fifteenth full-length studio album by legendary British Psychedelic/Ambient/Progressive Rock band.
The third Pink Floyd album recorded under the leadership of guitarist David Gilmour, after the departure of bassist Roger Waters in 1985, and the first following the death of keyboardist Richard Wright in 2008, who appears posthumously. Gilmour said it would be the final Pink Floyd album.
"The Endless River" comprises Instrumental and Ambient music based on material recorded during sessions for the band's previous album, "The Division Bell" (1994). Additional material was recorded in 2013 and 2014 on Gilmour's Astoria boat studio and in Medina Studios in Hove, England. Only one track, "Louder than Words", has lead vocals.
The Endless River was promoted with the "Louder than Words" single and artwork installations in cities around the world. It became the most pre-ordered album of all time on Amazon UK, and debuted at number one in several countries. The vinyl edition was the fastest-selling UK vinyl release since 1997. The album received mixed reviews; some critics praised the nostalgic mood, while others found it unambitious or meandering.
Heavyweight double 180 gram vinyl in gatefold cover features 16-page 275mm x 275mm booklet with unseen photographs from 1993 sessions.

Remastered re-release of the debut full-length studio album by legendary British Psychedelic/Space Rock band.
The album, named after the title of chapter seven of Kenneth Grahame's "The Wind in the Willows" (Syd Barrett's favorite children's book), and featuring a kaleidoscopic cover photo of the band taken by Vic Singh, is the only one album made under founding member Syd Barrett's leadership. 
Since its release, the album has been hailed a pivotal Psychedelic Rock album, with the embryonic elements of what was to become Progressive rock. Lyrical imagery of "The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn" is indeed full of colorful, childlike, distinctly British whimsy, albeit filtered through the perceptive lens of LSD. Barrett's catchy, melodic Acid Pop songs are balanced with longer, more Experimental pieces showcasing the band's instrumental freak-outs, often using themes of space travel as metaphors for hallucinogenic experiences. But even though Barrett's lyrics and melodies are mostly playful and humorous, the band's music doesn't always bear out those sentiments - in addition to Rick Wright's eerie organ work, dissonance, chromaticism, weird noises, and vocal sound effects are all employed at various instances, giving the impression of chaos and confusion lurking beneath the bright surface. "The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn" successfully captures both sides of Psychedelic experimentation - the pleasures of expanding one's mind and perception, and an underlying threat of mental disorder and even lunacy; this duality makes "The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn" all the more compelling in light of Barrett's subsequent breakdown, and ranks it as one of the best Psychedelic albums of all time! The album is hailed not only as a Psychedelic masterpiece but LSD is named as a direct influence...
The album was ranked 40th in Mojo Magazine's "The 50 Most Out There Albums of All Time" list. In 2000, Q Magazine placed "The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn" at the Gates of Dawn at number 55 in its list of the 100 greatest British albums ever. In July 2006, Billboard described "The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn" as "one of the best Psychedelic Rock albums ever". In 2012, "The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn" was voted 347th on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time".

Remastered re-release of the fourth full-length studio album by legendary British Psychedelic/Space Rock band.
The first album by the band released on the Harvest label. It's a double album and contains two discs. The first one consists of live recordings from concerts at Mothers Club in Birmingham and the College of Commerce in Manchester that contained part of their normal set list at the time, while the second contains solo compositions by each member of the band recorded at EMI Studios (now Abbey Road Studios).
The album's title supposedly comes from Cambridge slang for sex, commonly used by Pink Floyd friend and occasional roadie, Iain "Emo" Moore, who would say, "I'm going back to the house for some ummagumma". According to Moore, he made up the term himself.
Although the album was well received at the time of release, and was a top five hit in the UK album charts, it has since been looked upon unfavourably by the band, who have expressed negative opinions about it in interviews.
The album reached number 5 on the UK albums chart and number 74 in the US, marking the first time the band reached the top 100 there. Similarly, in Canada it was their first appearance on the charts, reaching number 78. The album was certified Gold in the US in February 1974 and Platinum in March 1994.
For many years, this double-LP was one of the most popular albums in Pink Floyd's pre-"Dark Side Of The Moon" output.

Remastered re-release of the ninth full-length studio album by legendary British Progressive Rock band.
Pink Floyd followed the commercial breakthrough of "Dark Side Of The Moon" with "Wish You Were Here", a loose concept album about and dedicated to their founding member Syd Barrett. The record unfolds gradually, as the Jazzy textures of "Shine on You Crazy Diamond" reveal its melodic motif, and in its leisurely pace, the album shows itself to be a warmer record than its predecessor. Musically, it's arguably even more impressive, showcasing the band's interplay and David Gilmour's solos in particular. And while it's short on actual songs, the long, winding soundscapes are constantly enthralling.
It was Pink Floyd's first album with Columbia Records, an affiliate of CBS; the band and their manager Steve O'Rourke had been dissatisfied with the efforts of EMI's US label Capitol Records. The band remained with EMI's Harvest Records in Europe.
"Have a Cigar" was chosen by Columbia as first single, with "Welcome to the Machine" on the B-side in the US.
In UK, with 250 000 advance sales, the album debuted at number three and reached number one the following week. Demand was such that EMI informed retailers that only 50 per cent of their orders would be fulfilled. With 900 000 advance orders (the largest for any Columbia release) it reached number one on the US Billboard chart in its second week. "Wish You Were Here" was Pink Floyd's fastest-selling album ever.
The album was certified Silver and Gold (60,000 and 100,000 sales respectively) in the UK on 1 August 1975, and Gold in the US on 17 September 1975. It was certified six times Platinum on 16 May 1997, and by 2004 had sold an estimated 13 million copies worldwide.  The album was a commercial hit in Europe, topping Dutch, English and Spanish charts – in Spain, the album remained at number one for 20 weeks.
Since then, the record has sold over 20 million copies.
Remastered from the original analogue tapes in 2016, 180g Heavyweight Vinyl comes with printed inner sleeve, postcard and download code card. It concealed in black shrink-wrap (making the front cover art "absent"). On the front of the shrinkwrap is a George Hardie designed sticker depicting two mechanical hands engaged in a handshake.

The 10th Anniversary Edition re-release of the fourth full-length studio album by cult German Power Metal band.
Considered by many as the best album in the band's career, "Blood Of The Saints" has been out of stock for a while, so the time is right for a vinyl re-issue!
The ripping guitars, the battering drum work, and the nightmarish keys work in such great conjecture that one could feel his spirit grow cold with fear as song after song threatens eternal darkness and quenchless bloodthirst upon it. It’s for the ravenous wolf of the night in all of us, and those sacrilegious hymns are augmented all the more with Mr. Attila Dorn’s unbeatable singing. His unholy howling works wonders with his band of merry lupine demons, as tracks like “Sanctified with Dynamite”, “All We Need is Blood”, and “Die, Die, Crucified” can attest to.
In addition to recording at Studio Fredman, Sweden, the band recorded some parts of the album in the 12th-century Deutschherrenkapelle chapel, Saarbrücken.
The album reached position number 23 in the German charts and 75 in the Swiss charts. The album won the Metal Hammer's "Power Metal album of the year" award.
“Blood Of The Saints” is another reminder of Powerwolf’s awesome appeal and is your next addiction!

The debut full-length studio album by Spanish Hard Rock band.
Three years after their promising self-titled debut EP, here we have the first full-length from Hard Rockers Queen Marsa. From the powerful start with "Gaugamela" to the end of the album with "Outlaw on the Run", where they flirt with classic Heavy Metal, going through catchy tracks like "The Trick Is You Don't Mind" or "Treat Me Like You Do", whose choruses stick to your brain, the album "I Am The Land" proves to be a magnificent first letter of introduction for this band from Mallorca (Balearic Island).
The double-guitar, standalone-vocal eight songs across a tight but groovy 33 minutes that pull from a swath of influences within the Heavy sphere. Crisply produced, "I Am The Land" necessarily gives up some warmth of the EP, but in trade, the record brings a largesse of sound and clarity of intention beyond what one might generally expect from a first full-length. Whatever they do next (or don’t), this is a strong opening statement!
Excellent Hard Rock/Heavy Rock for fans of C.O.C., Pintos, Trouble, Blind Melon and other.

The twelfth full-length studio album by legendary British Rock band.
Released on 2 June 1986 by EMI Records in the UK and by Capitol Records in the US, "A Kind Of Magic" was Queen's first album to be released since they had received acclaim for their performance at Live Aid in 1985. Based on the soundtrack to the film "Highlander", directed by Russell Mulcahy, it was an immediate hit in the UK, going straight to number one and selling 100,000 copies in its first week. It remained in the UK charts for 63 weeks, selling 600,000 in the UK alone.
The album spawned four hit Singles: the album's title track "A Kind of Magic", "One Vision", "Friends Will Be Friends", and "Who Wants to Live Forever", which features an orchestra conducted by Michael Kamen, while the album's final track, "Princes of the Universe", is the theme song to "Highlander" film.
The album enjoys the status of an unofficial soundtrack for the 1986 film "Highlander", for which no official soundtrack album was released. The title, "A Kind of Magic", derived from one of the lines character Connor MacLeod (Christopher Lambert) says to describe his immortality. Six out of nine songs on the album appeared in the film, although in different versions. The three songs that did not appear in "Highlander" are "Pain Is So Close to Pleasure", "Friends Will Be Friends" and "One Vision", which was featured a year earlier in the film "Iron Eagle". Conversely, a recording of "Theme from New York, New York", made specifically for a scene in "Highlander", does not appear on "A Kind Of Magic", and in fact has never been released in album form to date. Band member Brian May, according to a statement he made on the "Greatest Video Hits" 2DVD (2003), had, at least at that point, the intention to work on a proper "Highlander" soundtrack in the future. In one scene, a snippet of "Hammer to Fall" plays on a radio, a song from the previously released "The Works" album.
Although Queen would release another two albums in Freddie Mercury's lifetime, "A Kind Of Magic" would turn out to be Queen's last album promoted with a concert tour, due to Mercury's diagnosis with AIDS the following year.
In the 1994 edition of "The Guinness All Time Top 1000 Albums", the album was voted No. 171 in the "All-time greatest Rock and Pop albums". In 2006, a national BBC poll saw the album voted the 42nd "Greatest album of all time". In 2007, Classic Rock ranked "A Kind Of Magic" the 28th greatest soundtrack album of all time.

The fourth full-length studio album by legendary British Rock band.
The album that established Queen as worldwide superstars. The most expensive album ever recorded at the time of its release, named after the Marx Brothers' film of the same name, "A Night At The Opera" was recorded at various studios across a four-month period in 1975. Due to management issues, Queen had received almost none of the money they earned for their previous albums. Subsequently, they ended their contract with Trident Studios and did not use their studios for the album (the sole exception being "God Save the Queen", which had been recorded the previous year). The band employed a complex production that extensively used multitrack recording, and the songs incorporated a wide range of styles, such as ballads, Music Hall, Sea Shanties, Dixieland, Hard Rock and Progressive Rock influences. Aside from their usual equipment, Queen also utilized a diverse range of instruments such as a double bass, harp, ukulele and more.
Upon release, "A Night At The Opera" became Queen's first number-one album in the UK, topping the UK Albums Chart for four non-consecutive weeks. It peaked at number four on the US Billboard Top LPs & Tape chart and became the band's first Platinum-certified album in the US. It also produced the band's most successful Single in the UK, "Bohemian Rhapsody", which became their first number one song in the country. Despite being twice as long as the average length of singles during the 1970s, the song became immensely popular worldwide. At the 19th Grammy Awards, its first Single "Bohemian Rhapsody" received Grammy Award nominations for Best Pop Vocal Performance by a Duo, Group, or Chorus and Best Arrangement for Voices.
"A Night At The Opera" has since been hailed as Queen's best album, and one of the greatest albums of all time. In 2020, Rolling Stone ranked it number 128 on its list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time". It was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2018.

The ninth re-release of the third full-length studio album by legendary British Rock band.
Departing from the Progressive themes featured on their first two albums, the album featured more Pop-centric and conventional Rock tracks and marked a step towards the "classic" Queen sound. The album launched Queen to mainstream popularity in the UK and throughout the world.
The album's first single "Killer Queen" reached number two on the UK singles chart and provided the band with their first top 20 hit in the US, peaking at number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100. "Sheer Heart Attack" was the first Queen album to hit the US top 20, peaking at number 12 on the Billboard Top LPs & Tape Chart in 1975. It has been acknowledged for containing "a wealth of outstanding Hard Rock guitar tracks". Retrospectively, it has been listed by multiple publications as one of the band's best works and has been deemed an essential Glam Rock album.

The thirteenth full-length studio album by legendary British Rock band.
Following their massive 1986 European stadium tour for the "A Kind Of Magic" album, Queen took an extended break. Rumors swirled about an impending breakup, but it turned out the break was brought on by a painful marital divorce for guitarist Brian May (who subsequently battled depression and contemplated suicide), and Freddie Mercury being diagnosed with AIDS in 1987. Instead of sinking further into misery, the band regrouped, worked on each other's mental state, and recorded one of their most inspired albums, 1989's "The Miracle".
The album was originally going to be called "The Invisible Men", but three weeks before the release, according to Roger Taylor, they changed the name to "The Miracle". Released on 22 May 1989 by Parlophone and Capitol Records, it was the last Queen album with a photo of all four members on the front cover.
Lyrically, the songs tend to reflect on the band's past accomplishments ("Khashoggi's Ship", "Was It All Worth It") as well as the state of the world in the late '80s (the title track, "I Want It All"). Produced by the band and David Richards, "The Miracle" packs quite a sonic punch, recalling the rich sounds of their past classics (1976's "A Day At The Races", etc). Split 50/50 between Pop ("Breakthru", "The Invisible Man", "Rain Must Fall") and Heavy Rock (the aforementioned "I Want It All", "Khashoggi's Ship", "Was It All Worth It"), the album was another global smash, even re-establishing the band Stateside (going Top 30 and attaining Gold status).
The album reached number one in the UK, Austria, Germany, The Netherlands, and Switzerland, and number 24 on the US Billboard Top Pop Albums chart. AllMusic would name "The Miracle" as Queen's best album of the 1980s, along with "The Game".

The first European re-release of the debut full-length studio album by legendary American Progressive Metal band.
"The Warning" proved to be a holding pattern for Seattle's Queensrÿche, offering quality classic Metal with lyrics tending to the mystical and occult. The band wrote the material for "The Warning" during their tour in support of the "Queensrÿche" EP, inspired by world events and the 1949 George Orwell novel "Nineteen Eighty-Four". Elements of Judas Priest, Rush and Iron Maiden are evident in the music, but the band takes inspirations like these and make them, not the base of the music, but add these influences as extra spice in their own style.
The album was recorded in various recording studios in London with Pink Floyd-producer James Guthrie. "The Warning" featured more Progressive elements than the EP. It was a moderate commercial success in the United States, although none of the singles charted domestically. However, "Take Hold of the Flame" was an international hit, particularly in Japan.
In support of the release, Queensrÿche went on a worldwide tour from August 1984 through to July 1985. During the American leg of their tour, they were the opening act for Kiss on their 1984–85 Animalize Tour and Iron Maiden on their 1984–85 World Slavery Tour.
“The Warning” began Queensryche's road to Rock royalty. With its Orwellian themed lyrical content, stunning vocals and sheer musicianship, this conceptual Prog-Metal album helped launch their long tenure in the Rock charts. Thanks in part to amazing tracks like "No Sanctuary" and "The Warning" this album has truly been a fan favorite for years. Intensity, melody and tantalizing guitar work keep the heart of this release pounding after all these years. It will appeal to nearly all lovers of challenging music and if you haven't heard "The Warning" yet, you must check out this Metal milestone!!
For the fan it is definitely worth the purchase!

The fifth full-length studio album by cult American Melodic Hard Rock/Heavy Metal band.
Despite the record's name, this is actually the band's fifth studio album. However, it is their third major label/worldwide release.
This is the first Quiet Riot album not to feature any cover songs, and the last to feature lead singer Kevin DuBrow until the 1993 album “Terrified”. It’s also the first Quiet Riot album to feature Chuck Wright, formerly of Giuffria, who replaced Rudy Sarzo on bass as an official member - prior to this, he had performed some uncredited bass work on the band's earlier albums. He would rejoin the band on an on/off basis over the years, and is in the current version of the band.
A heavier emphasis on keyboards suggests the band was trying to keep in step with such other chart topping bands as Night Ranger and Bon Jovi, as evidenced by the popular MTV video - stadium hymn "The Wild and the Young", and the more restrained "Twilight Hotel".
Although "QR III" was greeted favorably by their remaining fans, the album failed to match the mega-sales of their major label debut album. Following the massive success of "Metal Health" and the more modest reception of "Condition Critical" (which failed to duplicate "Metal Health"'s success, but still went top 20 and receive a Platinum certification), sales of "QR III" were even lower, reaching only No. 31 on the US charts. It marked Quiet Riot's final plunge away from stardom as the band's following releases would not enter the charts at all. With constant bickering behind the scenes, DuBrow was handed his walking papers shortly after the ensuing tour ended.
