I shall ignore all the recent stories about what's been said and who apparently wrote what, and putting talk of re-recordings aside, to concentrate on the original music release and for what it's worth - what it's really worth !
There also appears come confusion regarding the actual release date [link here]. Could be this is simply the album coming out in America before the UK, so whether it's the 1st or 16th of March, it is without dispute the 50th Anniversary of 'The Dark Side of the Moon' by Pink Floyd.  
I bought the album when it first came out so I have a copy of the original pressing. Full details are it's the Harvest Label release - Solid Light Blue Triangle record label with black inner sleeve, 2 posters & 2 stickers with a Gatefold album cover only one side opening, all in Good Condition, naturally. In 2016 I found a Record shop in London selling this copy of 'The Dark Side of the Moon' for £500. 
In 2019 it sold on ebay for £720. Then Record Collector magazine had it priced at £995 in 2020. While it famously sold for $3,242 [£2,664] in 2018*. So girls and boys if you have this record please take note, it's worth a few bob. 😊

Todays Star Track is 'Time' - side one, track 4 - with this compiled video [Warning: it begins with alarms bells ringing] - "ticking away the moments that make up a dull day" - some of these lyrics resonate more today than they did to my 20 year old self in 1973 !
