Original artwork description:

There can be few people outside a hidden tribe in the Amazon jungle or hermits without WiFi in the remote mountains of the Hindu Kush who are unaware of Pink Floyd's seminal 1973 album, together with its iconic cover design of a beam of white light being shone into a prism and splitting into a spectrum. What is less known is that Dark Side of the Moon has absolutely nothing to do with the moon (its an illusion to lunacy rather than astronomy) and the brief for the cover design was 'something like the artwork of a Black Magic chocolate box'( a dark chocolate popular in the UK at the time). Of course album cover designs of the drug addled 70s and 80s were usually totally unrelated to the titles of the albums - anything wacky and memorable would do - so to redesign DSOTM by spelling out the title in pseudo Egyptian heiroglyphs (literally 'sacred carvings') and including not one but two moons is, in itself, totally radical. Yeah dude, like, far out, cool.
