Did you know there was a book titled The Dark Side of the Moon that came out in 1947 with a preface by TS Eliot? It's by Zoë Zajdlerowa, a Polish woman, who details the horrors of life under communism.

I randomly learned this from a great history book I'm rereading right now about the "passing of the communist illusion." Wonder if that was a reference at all for Pink Floyd or, more likely, just a coincidence.
