Who released an LP called "Dark Side Of The Moon" in 1972, and an LP entitled "Wish You Were Here" in 1974?

Pink Floyd.

EDIT: Wasn't it '75 for Wish You Were Here?

Pink Floyd

umm, well pink floyd had an album called "dark side of the moon' so i'm going with them.

God Damn!

Damnit, beaten to the mark :(

That was a pretty easy question tho :p

Journey is definitely the answer. :rolleyes:

I'm guessing that at least one of the person(s) who released the album(s) was a musician.

Am I right? :)

Again again. Skelly's gonna get the next one first...

E. M. I.

(How come this thing wont keep caps?)

Bodies Without Organs!

Again again. Skelly's gonna get the next one first...
Oh yeah? :p

Pink Floyd.

Nope.

...and Pink Floyd didn't have an album called Dark Side Of The Moon.

I'll go with no one.

Nope.

I could give you the director for a TV show called "Wish You Were Here...?" from 1974. But not who released it.

badfinger had an album called wish you were here in 74. well i don't know, all the pink floyd sites say they had dsotm out in 73 and wywh in 75. but i'm sure dsotm was out in 72 in th uk. it's got to be something to do with the record label.

No. The who released "Tommy (w the London Symphony Orchestra)" in 1972 and "Odds and Sods" in 1974

Ooh, it's also an album by Badfinger in 1974

[edit]meh, too late[/meh]

Yay. Have a cigar, that's the first part of the question answered.

The second part remains.

Who's on first?

DSOTM = Medicine Head

Medicine Head released Dark Side of the Moon in 1972.

Edit: Bugger. Beaten to it.

Medicine Head - they never released it. Yay!

Edit: crap, beaten again :rolleyes:

DSOTM = Medicine Head

'grats.

Interesting to note that the Pink Floyd album is actually called The Dark Side Of The Moon, but the definite article is often forgotten, whereas the Medicine Head LP has no definite article.

Well my CD version (CDEMD 1064 copyright 1994 EMI) is called Dark Side Of The Moon. No definite article in the name.

My original pressing gatefold vinyl on Harvest (Stereo SHVL804 Published 1973) has the definite article on both sides of the label.

The official Pink Floyd site also has an illustration of an SACD which has the definite article.

Amazon also refer to it with the definite article, and have an illustration of a CD with a sticker upon it which likewise has the definite article.

On iTunes it just says Dark Side of the Moon. But that's iTunes.

On the CD case which I have been staring at since this thread started, it has the definite article.

Similarly the EMI site omits the definite article, and they really should know better.
