TURCHIA

Turkey Notes.  The Dark Side Of The Moon uscì in Turchia principalmente con due case, la Stateside e la EMI Records. Le edizioni della Stateside avevano una copertina non apribile standard, ma che riportava "PINK FLOYD" a lettere gialle in obliquo sul davanti, l’etichetta era gialla della Stateside, e uscì in quattro versioni, differenti per la disposizione delle scritte e dei crediti. Le edizioni della EMI-Kent uscirono dal 1977 in poi, con copertina standard ed etichetta marrone e rossa della EMI, stranamente avevano tre diversi tipi di motivi in copertina e con differenze sulle scritte e sui crediti delle etichette: uno con copertina con il prisma invertito, uscito in quattro versioni; uno con copertina con i raggi invertiti, uscito in quattro versioni; uno con copertina con prisma e raggi normali, uscite in quattro versioni. Esiste anche una quinta versione, con etichetta gialla della EMI, differente rispetto alle altre edizioni, e copertina non apribile nera con il prisma colorato al contrario con la punta rivolta verso il basso ed i raggi a destra. La Kent di Istanbul era la società che gestiva i diritti della EMI records in Turchia (KENT PLAK, Kent Records).
