Tons of hiss and dropouts. I told my dad that it sounded like crap, and he said, "there's a reason I played that cassette so many times." The tape eventually snapped. After that, I probably only ever heard the singles on classic rock radio. Never bought my own copy.

I interned at Blackbird studio in Nashville for a few months in 2006. One night I was cleaning Studio C. You know, George Massenburg's room, the one with the crazy diffusion panels everywhere:

Anyway, there was a SACD 5.1 surround copy of Dark Side sitting there on the console, so I fired it up and absorbed side A. It was kind of transcendent, listening to it in that room, on those speakers. Wish I could have finished it, but I had to leave.

I still think about that every time I hear something from this album.
