<<Dont they say that "darkside of the moon" is the most sold record ever?>> Ten years ago, when a book called Saucerful Of Secrets: The Pink Floyd Odyssey was published, it cited Dark Side as the fourth biggest selling album of all time. For the record, the three biggest selling albums, according to this book, were: 1 Micheal Jackson's Thriller, 2 the soundtrack to Saturday Night Fever 3 Fleetwood Mac's Rumors Now, as I understand, a couple years ago, The Eagles Greatest Hits over took Micheal Jackson, and I'm not sure what the rest of the list would look like today. As for the credits on Dark Side Of The Moon, I don't know about the CD booklet, but the LP, all of the backing musicians are listed. Claire Torry is the name of the vocalist heard on Great Gig In The Sky (she reprised her performance when Floyd appeared at the Knebworth Festival in 1990). The other vocalists are also listed, though I can't name the names off hand), the saxophonist on Money and Us And Them is Dick Parry, who also appeared on Shine On You Crazy Diamond on the next album, Wish You Were Here. Parry also toured with Pink Floyd during the 73-77 era, essentially reprising his solos from the studio versions of those songs (though he also played keyboards a bit on the 77 tour). He also toured with Pink Floyd in 94 (he also appears on one song on The Division Bell). ===== May you never thirst!
