Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here (Remastered 180g Vinyl LP)

Wish You Were Here is the landmark ninth studio album from Pink Floyd, originally released in 1975. Following the enormous success of The Dark Side of the Moon, the band created a more reflective record exploring absence, alienation, the pressures of the music industry and the loss of former bandmate Syd Barrett, resulting in one of the most celebrated albums in progressive rock.

The album is framed by the epic Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Pink Floyd's tribute to Syd Barrett, with Parts 1–5 opening the record and Parts 6–9 bringing it to a close. Between them sit three classics: the atmospheric Welcome to the Machine, the biting music-industry satire Have a Cigar and the enduring title track Wish You Were Here.

Recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London, Wish You Were Here features David Gilmour, Roger Waters, Richard Wright and Nick Mason at one of the creative high points of Pink Floyd's career. Roy Harper provides the lead vocal on Have a Cigar, while the album's combination of progressive rock, synthesizers, studio experimentation and deeply personal songwriting has made it an enduring favourite in the band's catalogue.

This official remastered edition presents the complete album on 180g black vinyl. The stereo album was remastered from the original analogue tapes by James Guthrie, Joel Plante and Bernie Grundman, with the original album presentation carefully reproduced.

Supplied brand new and sealed.
