Hi David,
From the Barcode on the cover: 0777 7 46001 2 5
another code from the cover: CDSHVL 804

From the top of the CD: CDP 460012

Its on Harvest/EMI label, the CD itself has what looks like a contour map etched on it with grid references etc, with white (not black) text printed directly on the CD.

Text from bottom of the CD:

"Digital Remasters (c)1992. The copyright in this sound recording is owned by EMI Records Ltd. (c)1993 EMI Records Ltd."

IS this a remastered one?
Not sure to be honest?

The bit highlighted doesn't tell the whole story,but is a reasonable guide.

I have the same mastering,only it's presented in a 'Twentieth Anniversary Edition' box.

This is my 2nd choice of CD mastering,the Japanese one,CP35-3017,being my favourite.

Whoever buys it,is getting a very good sounding disc.

Did you do a comparison,Gary?

If so,what was the verdict?

Gazjam
03-09-2009, 09:01
Yeah, did the comparison David.

I DID find a difference actually, which surprised me.
Not "night and day" by any means, but the japanese pressing sounded more spacious I'd say, with a wee bit more back to front depth; particularly noticeable on quieter passages such as on "The great gig in the sky".

The mastering seems more spread out, less compressed I'd say.

To be honest there's not an awful lot in it, certainly not enough to warrant seeking out the Japanese pressing if you already had the one I have.

Unless your a collector that is....and from looking online, this albums a bit sought after, in all its flavours!

Thanks for the cd's Gary.

I got wondering about the different pressings of this cd. I'm confused basically. I found the following online:

1) Mastering Number 1 – Sony (Japan) Mastering

Track Peak Levels: 39.9 / 43.3 / 70.1 / 55.2 / 72.3 / 44.5 / 53.9 / 54.6 / 61.2

The very first mastering of Dark Side of the Moon for compact disc. Believed to be done by Sony Records in Japan in the spring of 1983. This mastering was used to produce the very first copies of Dark Side of the Moon on CD, which were Japanese releases with the catalog number CP35-3017 and a black triangle on the label, and a matrix number that did not include a “TO.” These early Dark Side CDs were pressed by CBS / Sony Records at their CD manufacturing plant in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan for EMI Records. EMI did not have a CD pressing plant in operation at the time, so they outsourced the manufacturing of the CDs to CBS / Sony (keep in mind that these early Sony pressings still say Toshiba/EMI on the labels).

It is believed that this mastering was made from a 15ips reel-to-reel tape copy of the master tape that had been sent to Japan to produce the Dark Side Of The Moon-EMI/Toshiba Records Pro-Use Series vinyl LP album, which was the last vinyl pressing of Dark Side in Japan.

Known releases of mastering #1:

Australia first issue - Harvest Records, 7 46001-2, CD made in Japan

Japan first issue - EMI Records, catalog number CP35-3017, first pressings by CBS/Sony, indicated by no “TO” in the matrix

U.K. first issue - Harvest Records, catalog number CDP 7 46001 2, black Harvest label, Made in Japan on label, matrix has CP35-3017 with no “TO”

U.S. issues:
First issue - Harvest Records, catalog number CDP 7 46001 2, black Harvest label, Made in Japan on label, CP35-3017 in the matrix
Second issue - Capitol Records, catalog number CDP 7 46001 2, black Harvest label, Made in Japan on label, CP35-3017 TO in the matrix*
Third issue - Capitol Records, catalog number CDP 7 46001 2, silver label, Made in Japan on label, TO J in the matrix*
Fourth issue - Capitol Records, catalog number CDP 7 46001 2, silver label, Made in Japan on label, CP35-3017 TO J in the matrix*

* Note: It is interesting to note that the 2nd through 4th U.S. issues of Dark Side of the Moon were pressed by the Toshiba/EMI pressing plant in Japan (as indicated by the “TO” in the matrix). Yet these pressings use the 1st (Sony) mastering of the album. It is believed that the Toshiba/EMI plant in Japan began operations in late 1985/early 1986, and began pressing Dark Side with the Sony mastering until a new master by EMI (master #3 in this listing) was created in late 1986. Once EMI had made their own master (#3), all pressings of Dark Side used the EMI master.

Does this not mean that cdp35-3017 and cdp 7 46001 2 are the same?

Perhaps Snapper (David) could enlighten us?

It's not quite as simple as that,unfortunately.

As far as I know,all first editions are the same (tho' I could be wrong).

The second UK release (1986) has the same matrix number,

CDP 7 46001 2 AR 1B1 TO CP35-3017

but different track peak levels:

87.8 / 94.7 / 100 / 97.2 / 100 / 99.1 / 100 / 96.1 / 100

No, it's this Bliss, Peter - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bliss_%28band%29

There are at least 3 "Bliss" bands I know of - these, "Quiet Letters" (Danish 4 piece Electronica Bliss), and then the Bliss fronted by Luce Drayton - more spiritual/New Age - even Amazon and Spotify don't know the difference!
