I note that the Dark Side cover only has 6 colors, as opposed to the 7 traditional colors of the rainbow. Which are the same 6 colors of the gay flag.

This reflects something I've long suspected of the mark of the beast being 666 and the mark of Christ being 777. In the ancient Semantic root language that Hebrew sprang from, when the symbol used for number 6 was used in a sentence unrelated to numbers, it meant "incomplete". While the symbol for number 7 meant "complete". Some Bible scholars believe the Jews during the Bible times still used those symbols (and others) for dual meaning mainly for tradition sake even after they long quit using them for normal communication. (Kind of like a Christian today who might read a modern English translation for normal Bible reading might still quote it in King James version when speaking it at a traditional setting.) So it's possible (take this with a grain of salt) that the mark of the beast is totally incomplete (number 6 three times with three representing totality) and the mark of Christ represents totally complete.

Funny how the dvd issued for the London Hyde Park concert had a specially commisioned stained glass window style cover with the group as pious saints.

One of the best-selling releases of all time, "Dark Side" will be reissued in a special deluxe box set ($299.98) with remastered versions of the 1973 album and the live recording "The Dark Side Of The Moon – Live At Wembley Empire Pool, London, 1974" both on vinyl, CD and Blu-ray Disc on March 24.

My old version works just fine.

It just looks intentioanlly gay.

Like they’re sending a message instead of going off the original.

Since this represents having colors from a light divided into a spectrum* like that?

Maybe reverse the law of gravity after that while we’re criticizing laws.

When I was maybe 11 years old Popular Science had a booklet of facts. One part said a way to memorize the colors of every rainbow in order was “Roy G. Biv” ROYGBIV which stood for Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet.”

The album was released in 1973. Gays do not own the rights to colors of the rainbow. Good grief.

This. Sometimes a rainbow (or diffraction through a prism) is just what it is, not some symbol of wokeness.

Awesome album... When the prism and rainbow were actually cool to see before it was destroyed but the LGBTQRSTUVWXYZ insane asylum.

Pink Floyd Fans Somehow Unaware 'Dark Side' Cover Features Rainbow

Pink Floyd Announce Dark Side of the Moon Box Set for 50th Anniversary ...

The 50th anniversary issue is an obvious nod to homosexuals, whereas, the original prism refraction album cover was first released on April, 1 1973. That was about 5 years before the homosexuals adopted the rainbow flag.

The rainbow flag was created in 1978 by artist, designer, Vietnam War veteran and then-drag performer, Gilbert Baker. He was commissioned to create a flag by another gay icon, politician Harvey Milk, for San Francisco’s annual pride parade.

Article is full of BS, for it does not match up chronologically to history at all.

I saw the newer cover art. It’s not that big a deal. It is just another graphic depiction of the angular prism with an area of rainbow effected light.

There is no blue and lilac Trans flag or anything. There is no Co-Exist slogan stamped on it. Not every rainbow depiction is in reference to being Gay. Sometimes a rainbow is still just that; a rainbow.

Just saw it. You are correct. There are 7 colors of the rainbow. Satan’s rainbow has 6

Several questions about this: 1) Where can one see "Satan's Rainbow?" 2) Is there a pot of gold, guarded by leprechauns carrying tridents and huddling around a red hot barbeque, at the end of it? 3) Does Satan also have his own line of cars, cheeseburgers and bikinis?

"The Dark Side Of The Moon" was the very first compact disc I ever bought, back in the early 1980s.

I had it on vinyl and cassette for years before that.

"The Great Gig In The Sky" still sends shivers up my spine and "Time" was the song that woke me up every morning for about two decades. I had it programmed to play for my alarm clock.
