Pink Floyd: Wish You Were Here - LP [Vinyl]

Description

The title track remains a heart-stopping hymn to loneliness, absence, and love. Indeed, Pink Floyd's 1975 masterwork Wish You Were Here continues to resonate with a sparkling luminance and poignant emotionalism more than three decades after its original release. Every song on the record has attained iconic status. The suite "Shine on You Crazy Diamond" stands as a tribute to founding group member Syd Barrett. The title track remains a heart-stopping hymn to loneliness, absence, and love. "Welcome to the Machine" riffs on the future and isolation. And "Have a Cigar" registers as one of the most caustic, humorous indictments of the music industry ever made. All of the music is performed with a delicate perfectionism and enviable tranquility. Guitarist David Gilmour taps into a bluesy aesthetic and fireplace warmth on the slower material, and vocally, channels a melancholic spirit and somber stateliness that reflect the record's conflicting themes. Out of print on vinyl for many years, audiophiles have never had the opportunity to hear it like they do now. This issue of the album includes the 180gram audiophile vinyl, free MP3 download, postcard and poster.
