Description

This is it, Pink Floyd's critically-acclaimed and multi-million copy selling album "Wish You Were Here." After their previous album, "The Dark Side of the Moon" catapulted them into music's mainstream, many fans and critics were unsure if Pink Floyd could top their recent success. Well, in many people's opinions, this album was a resounding "yes." Beginning with the first half of the genre-blending "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" and then transitioning into the foreboding and cynical "Welcome to the Machine," the album continues to innovate from "Dark Side" sound while still sounding like the band always did. Beginning side two, "Have a Cigar" features Roy Harper on lead vocals and carries a semi-autobiographical telling of a band signing a recording contract. The most popular track off the record, the David Gilmour-driven "Wish You Were Here" proves that Pink Floyd could produce radio friendly music while still staying true to their message and sound. The album's closer is the second half of "Shine On You Crazy Diamond," a fitting end to a great record. The record itself plays wonderfully with no skips and the original inner sleeve with all of the lyrics to all the songs is included as well. Don't miss out on your chance to own an original edition of one of the greatest rock albums of all time.
