Wish You Were Here: 50th Anniversary (Boxset) - Pink Floyd [CD]

Wish You Were Here 50 gives fans an exciting new perspective into one of Pink Floyd’s most iconic and best-loved records. The 50th anniversary edition features multiple discs of rarities - at the core of this special collection are six previously unreleased alternate versions and demos presenting Pink Floyd's eighth studio album in a brand new way that demands repeat listening.

This set includes a Blu-ray with a Dolby Atmos mix for the first time by James Guthrie, plus 25 bonus tracks made up of nine studio rarities, and 16 live recordings captured by the renowned bootlegger Mike Millard at Pink Floyd’s Los Angeles Sports Arena concert on April 26th 1975, now receiving its first official release. The live audio has been meticulously restored and remastered by Steven Wilson. The Blu-ray also gives fans the chance to see three concert screen films from the band’s 1975 tour, plus a Storm Thorgerson short film. 

The 2CDs and 4LPs (on crystal-clear vinyl) include the original album plus nine studio bonus tracks. Exclusive to this set is a fourth vinyl LP, Live At Wembley 1974, plus a replica Japanese 7” Single of 'Have A Cigar' b/w 'Welcome To The Machine', a hardcover book including unseen photographs, a comic book tour programme and Knebworth poster. 

Featuring 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond', the hypnotic 'Welcome To The Machine', the scathing 'Have a Cigar', and the essential title track, Wish You Were Here is undoubtedly one of the most important album releases in the history of popular music.

The record’s themes of absence, isolation, transience, and comment on the insincerity of the music business are embodied in the iconic album artwork. 50 years since its release, Wish You Were Here sounds as resonant and vital as ever. This special anniversary edition allows fans, for the first time, to delve deeper into a pivotal moment in Pink Floyd’s history.
