In 1973, Wings were recording their Red Rose Speedway album at the same time when Pink Floyd was recording The Dark Side Of The Moon . Both bands recorded at Abbey Road studios. That is why when members of Pink Foyd team interviewed a number of people around the studio, Paul and Linda McCartney were among the interviewed. However their answers to "Are you afraid of dying?" and similar questions did not appear on the final version of the album.
In 1995 a tribute album The Moon Revisited was released. This album contains Dark Side Of The Moon in its entirety with various tracks performed by various artists.
