Dark Side of the Moon album cover voted greatest of all time

Dark Side of the Moon: The greatest album cover of all time

Floyd’s top-ranked cover was one of many created for the band by design team Hipgnosis and featured no lettering. The 1973 album is one of the biggest sellers of all time.
It pipped Nirvana’s Nevermind in a poll of musicians and rock fans for music website MusicRadar.com.
‘The Dark Side Of The Moon is conclusive proof that one simple, enduring image is the winning formula when it comes to album artwork,’ said Will Groves, editor of MusicRadar.com.
‘The Floyd cover is a welcome reminder of a time when sleeve art meant much more than a jpeg a couple of hundred pixels wide in your iTunes library.’

It was revealed last week that Pink Floyd are to release previously unheard tunes after
settling a legal row with their music label. EMI.
Enhanced versions of The Dark Side Of The Moon and The Wall albums will be included, in addition to live demos.
Digital versions of the band's 14 albums will be issued on September 26, while a recording of the classic Wish You Were Here - with jazz violinist Stephane Grappelli - will follow in February.
