Dub Side of the Moon is a dub reggae tribute to the 1973 Pink Floyd album The Dark Side of the Moon by the American reggae band Easy Star All-Stars.[1] Easy Star All Stars released Dub Side of the Moon: Special Anniversary Edition, on CD and vinyl, on September 16, 2014.
Included with the liner notes are instructions on how to synchronize the album with the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz and produce a variation of the perceived "Dark Side of the Rainbow" effect. The album has sold over 85,000 copies thus far and Easy Star All-Stars have been regularly touring in support of the album. Artist and Drummer Patrick Dougher performed on the recording but did not tour with the band.[2]
A DVD of a live performance of Dub Side of the Moon was released by the Easy Star label in July 2006.
In 2010 the album was remixed in a bass-heavy dub style and reissued as Dubber Side of the Moon[3] Easy Star All Stars released Dub Side of the Moon: Special Anniversary Edition on September 16, 2014.[4]
