Times is tough all over, we suppose.<\/p>\n

Case and point: Abbey Road Studios, with full participation of Pink Floyd, according to the studios’ website, will sell a replica of the tape box that contains the band’s “The Dark Side of the Moon” (1973). On March 5, the studio will release a limited edition of 250 “folios” of the box priced at $275 each.<\/p>\n

The studio describes the product as a replica of the “Quadrophonic discrete master \u2013 Side One EMI tape box, held deep within the EMI archive.<\/p>\n

“Each handmade folio is numbered and includes a 500gsm box card black folder (37cm x 37cm with a 5cm lip) which encases the two replica litho prints (30cm x 30cm), recreated in exact life size dimensions and cradled with transparent corner holders,” according to the site. “Alongside this, it includes a leaflet looking back at the recording of The Dark Side of the Moon and a certificate of authenticity.”<\/p>\n

Floyd made “Dark Side” beginning in May 1972 in Studio Two and Three at the EMI facility.<\/p>\n

Abbey Road Studios says the actual “rarely seen” box is stored at EMI Archives in Hayes, London.<\/p>\n

Here at “Floydian Slip” we’re bullish on all things Pink Floyd. So maybe we’re just feeling a little cynical today, but this seems a little excessive. Even to us.<\/p>\n

The good news: International shipping to the U.S. is just $19.69.<\/p>\n
