Which by the way, TIME Magazine rated as one of the TOP TEN LP's released in 1973 of ALL genres of music; including Jazz, Classical, Pop, etc.
It remained on Billboard's Music Charts from 1973 to 1988, a record 741 weeks! Longer than any other album in history.

Here is one intersting telling fact:
So far this year “Dark Side” has sold 125,000 copies — that’s about 3,000 a week for an album that is almost 40 years old. To put that in perspective here are the Nielsen SoundScan number for some high-profile 2010 releases:
”Jonas L.A.,” The Jonas Brother - 100,000
“Scream,” Ozzy Osbourne - 206,000
“All Night Long,” Buckcherry - 58,000
“American Ride,” Toby Keith - 117,000
I guess the Jo Bros are a fad, while “Money” is forever.
