Release details

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.[4]

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[5] Easy Star All Stars released Dub Side of the Moon: Special Anniversary Edition on September 16, 2014.[3]

gollark: Wow, icecast was a great idea. It's basically eliminated the issue where an OIR™ tab would eventually run a bit behind the server.
gollark: I prefer x += 1, the ++ things are vaguely beeoid.
gollark: The cool languages almost all seem to be horribly convoluted. Also many of the uncool ones.
gollark: There is also the turbofish and its inevitability.
