NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — The Empire State Building will celebrate the 50th anniversary of Pink Floyd's legendary album "The Dark Side of the Moon" on Friday night.
The display, which will feature a special anniversary version of the famous original album artwork spinning in its mast, will begin at sunset and will be visible throughout New York City as well as online via the Empire State Building Live Cam.
"‘The Dark Side of the Moon’ is as authentic, global, and iconic an album as the Empire State Building is a building, so it is only logical to celebrate it atop ESB’s world-famous tower," said Anthony E. Malkin, chairman, president and CEO at Empire State Realty Trust.
Released in 1973, "The Dark Side of the Moon" is one of the best-selling albums of all time, with more than 45 million copies sold worldwide. The album is praised for its innovative production techniques and creative use of instruments and has influenced countless artists throughout its 50-year history.
Pink Floyd will release a new deluxe box set that day that includes CD and gatefold vinyl of the 2023 remastered studio album and Blu-ray + DVD audio with the original 5.1 mix and remastered stereo versions.
The deluxe set will also include a new Blu-ray disk of the Atmos mix, a CD and LP of "The Dark Side of the Moon — Live at Wembley Empire Pool, London 1974," a 160-page hardback photo book, a music book, replica 7" singles and memorabilia.
