My Question or Issue

The transitions between songs on The Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd are messed up on the 2011 remaster. The worst one is the transition between Money and Us and Them being completely ruined. I hope this gets fixed because one of the album's core strengths is its seamless playback.

Hi there @ishanhxd,

Thank you for reaching out to the Community. We'd like to take a closer look into this.

Can you provide us a screen recording so that we can have a closer look directly from your end?

It would also be great if you can send us the URI of the album?

We'll keep an eye out for your reply.

Take care!

Hi Jeremy, thank you for your prompt response.

I tried screen recording it but there was no audio, I did it multiple times and restarted my phone but had no luck. When I screen recorded a YouTube video, however, there was audio, so I can only presume that it's a Spotify restriction on Android or something.

Nevertheless, here is the album URL:

https://open.spotify.com/album/2WT1pbYjLJciAR26yMebkH?si=XIFzyMc1TH6cxi-X7Uw1BQ

By the way, this may not be important, but my friend in the US doesn't have this issue, whilst my friends in the UK do.

Thanks again,

Ishan

Hey @ishanhxd,

Thanks for the link and the info.

In this case it would be best if you report this as broken content, following the steps in this Article. The content team at Spotify will do their best to fix this.

We tried this backstage and can confirm that in the UK some of the tracks appear to be broken. Especially "Us and Them" which includes a part of the ending of "Money" in the track itself on the UK version.

You can include a link to this conversation in your message to the support team. 

Don't hesitate to reach out again if you have questions.

All right, will do. Thank you.

This issue is still ongoing unfortunately, I haven't been able to enjoy the albums for at least 1 year now.

I am almost certain the problem is caused by this compilation album:

https://open.spotify.com/album/5M3xSoAppSULWAlt1CdHC9

The songs in there are mixed to transition better from one to another in that compilation and these edited songs are now also being used in their original albums.

I made the same reply in another thread in the hopes of getting more attention on the matter.
