2016 Reissue!
Upon release in 1975, Wish You Were Here shot straight to No.1 on both the UK and US album charts — a testament to Pink Floyd’s stature at the peak of their creative powers.
The record reflects the band’s disillusionment with the music business while exploring themes of absence and loss. Its centrepiece, the nine-part epic ‘Shine On You Crazy Diamond,’ stands as a moving tribute to founder member Syd Barrett, while the title track remains one of rock’s most enduring anthems.
Digitally remastered by James Guthrie and pressed to 180g heavyweight vinyl, this reissue brings new life to one of the band’s most cherished studio albums — a deep, atmospheric classic that continues to resonate half a century on.
