Classic Albums: The Making of Dark Side of the Moon is a DVD documentary by the English rock band Pink Floyd that includes interviews from the members of the band on how they created The Dark Side of the Moon, alongside other people such as British journalist Nigel Williamson and English musician (and producer of The Dark Side of the Moon) Alan Parsons.

Reception

[edit]

Jeffery Kauffman of Blu-ray gave it a rating of 4 out of 5, commenting that "true Floyd aficionados will probably want to pick it up, as it features more in-depth interviews and occasionally interesting tidbits that the Immersion Box Set either only mentioned in passing or didn't divulge at all."[1]
