Thanks Denny for the head's up! Just spent half an hour
My husband is always complaining that my time spent at
Chif'n'Fip causes me to spend too much money-- flutes,
whistles, CD's, etc etc!!! But NOW.....I'm going to want
the moon on a silver platter.
Sorry, honourable moderator, sir. Dark Side of the Moon was in the top selling albums internationally for 8 (count'em) eight years consecutively. No other album has come close to this record. Sgt Pecker's is certainly up at the top for quality and ingenuity (especially for something done on a 4-track tape deck).

I'd rather be atop the foothills than beneath them.
That B-side has certainly taken a pounding, innit?
And whether the blood be highland, lowland or no.
And whether the skin be black or white as the snow.
Of kith and of kin we are one, be it right, be it wrong.
As long as our hearts beat true to the lilt of a song.

djm wins the hippie test. the title of this thread is FAR side of the moon. djm knew the album's real name and the statistics to boot. go smoke one in celebration.
Rose tint my world. Keep me safe from my trouble and pain. 白飞梦
Know it? I made it happed! I can't remember how many times I had to replace that LP because I kept wearing it out. I only had to replace SPLHCB three times. These are things that deeply affected my few functioning brain cells at the time.
And I don't smoke any more, thenk yew.

By the way, if you ever wondered why the moon rotates at just the right speed to always show the same face to the Earth?
Tidal friction. Tidal forces smush the moon so that it bulges a bit toward the Earth, and if the moon rotates too fast that bulge starts to turn away, and Earth's gravity pulls it back.
This is a subtle force, but over many many years it slows the moon down until it rotates at the same speed it goes around the Earth---at which point the friction vanishes.
The same force from the Sun is gradually slowing down the Earth's rotation in the same way.

I used to run the Laser shows here at Hansen Planetarium in SLC. Long gone now sadly. Memories! In case anyone's wondering, the whistle does indeed sound cool in an empty star theatre!
