PRODUCT DETAILS
Edition: Limited Edtion 180 Gram Remastered Vinyl
Publisher: Pink Floyd Records
Details: Wish You Were Here is the ninth studio album by the English rock band Pink Floyd, released on 12 September 1975 by Harvest Records in the United Kingdom and a day later by Columbia Records in the United States. Inspired by material the group composed while performing around Europe, Wish You Were Here was recorded during numerous recording sessions at Abbey Road Studios in London, England. Some of the songs on the album critique the music business, others express alienation and the track "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" is a tribute to Syd Barrett, whose mental breakdown had forced him to leave the group seven years earlier after the release of the group's debut studio album The Piper at the Gates of Dawn. It was also lead writer Roger Waters' idea to split "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" into two parts and use it to bookend the album around three new compositions, introducing a new concept as the group had done with their previous album, The Dark Side of the Moon. As with The Dark Side of the Moon, the band used studio effects and synthesizers, and brought in guest singers to supply vocals on some tracks of the album. These singers were Roy Harper, who provided the lead vocals on "Have a Cigar", and the Blackberries, who added backing vocals to "Shine On You Crazy Diamond". - Wish You Were Here was an instant commercial success (despite the fact that Harvest Records' parent company EMI was unable to print enough copies of the album to satisfy commercial demand), and although it initially received mixed reviews, the album has since gone on to receive critical acclaim. It appears on Rolling Stone's lists of "The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time" and the "50 Greatest Prog Rock Albums of All Time". Band members Richard Wright and David Gilmour have cited Wish You Were Here as their favourite Pink Floyd album, and many critics and fans have considered the album to be the band's magnum opus.

I am a huge Bob's Burger Fan and found this album as I was browsing the website. I had to get it immediately. I can believe I came across this on a random Tuesday. Can't thank coming across pale blue records enough. And the delivery is super fast. Can't wait for my next purchase.
I love this vinyl record. I couldn't wait to get it. It came with very cool poster. And the album art is amazing. I love Pale Blue Records. Such fast and careful shipping service.
Fast delivery
I was thrilled to find this variant available for a reasonable price. Shipping was fast, and the record was very well-packed. Sounds great too!
Prompt shipping, sturdy packaging, excellent sound. Spindle hole was a bit small for my record player, but that was an easily fixed issue. Happy with my purchase!
I am happy with the album and the customer service response to my inquiry about whether it shipped. I am really unhappy with the delivery by USPS- it left Pale Blue dot on Jan. 14, went to two Florida distribution centers, traveled to Philadelphia and arrived on the 16th ( and close to my home) but then inexplicably went to Memphis TN arriving on the 17th where it remained for some unknown reason for five additional days until the 22nd until it shipped out again, arriving on the 25th. Like what the ???!!! Very frustrating. Don’t know if there are other shipping options but I advise against USPS. Happy with album and price otherwise.
Super fast shipping, packing done well. Exactly as described. The customer service and product choice is why I keep coming back.
Was so excited when I saw this variant was in stock so I snagged 2, one that I gave to a fellow LH fan. It’s gorgeous and spins like a dream! Was packed incredibly well too. Will definitely be shopping here in the future!!
Perfectly packaged, no warping, clear sound. Will definitely purchase from Pale Blue Dot Records again.
Came in a cool color a lot more vibrant then expected, played amazing. Thank you for the products you provide
The record came wrapped so well and very quickly especially for standard shipping too. Can’t wait to shop here more!!
Just as advertised! Thanks for the tunes!
