Mason plays down success of Floyd album

It has sold millions of copies around the world and its distinctive cover showing light reflected through a prism is immediately recognisable, but Pink Floyd’s Nick Mason reckons the success of Dark Side of the Moon is exaggerated.

The album, which contains tracks including Money and The Great Gig in the Sky and a cover by long-time band collaborator Storm Thorgerson, was an immediate hit upon its release in 1973.
