<P> The Dark Side of the Moon is the eighth album by English rock band Pink Floyd , released on 1 March 1973 by Harvest Records . The album built on ideas explored in earlier recordings and live shows , but lacks the extended instrumental excursions following the departure of founding member and principal contributor , Syd Barrett , in 1968 , that characterised their earlier work . It thematically explores conflict , greed , the passage of time , and mental illness , the latter partly inspired by Barrett 's deteriorating mental state . </P>
