Pink Floyd: The Dark Side of the Moon | Paul Hannah - May 8, 2023

Anyone heard this...............Is it better than the DVD-A that was released years ago ?

Pink Floyd: The Dark Side of the Moon | John Bacon-Shone - May 10, 2023

I am not aware of any legitimate DVD-A version. This is a (very nice) repackaging of the previous SACD, which sounds very nice.
