ONE LP PORTRAITS: MUSIC LOVERS: Ross Watters

“Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd - special to me because when I was younger, I didn't really follow the same kind of musical tastes as many of my friends or my peers at the time and I wasn't really into rock much, but this album changed that for me. And over the years, I have many memories that are linked with it - all of them good. And for me, it's the album that I always go to if I want to get some peace and calm and be able to think.I mean, it's full of fairly depressing lyrics and the songs are a little bit on the sad side, but it doesn't do that for me, just allows me to go into another place and release any of the kind of crap that's happened during the week and I just love listening to it.I will always be able to listen to it. Whenever I put it on, it commands my attention. I don't go and do other things and for that reason in the memories, I love it, and that's why I chose it.”Session: Ross WattersSession Date: 25 September 2021Location: Loud & Clear, EdinburghArtist: Pink FloydRecording Title: The Dark Side of the MoonReleased: 1 March 1973Recorded: June 1972 – January 1973Studio: Abbey Road, LondonLength: 43:09Label: HarvestProducer: Pink Floyd
