COMPETE WITH THE ORIGINAL WHITE EMI INNER SLEEVE - DATE CODED '1078' (October 1978)
Following the release of Animals and its accompanying "In the Flesh" tour, Pink Floyd went on hiatus, having become popular enough to support solo albums by bandmembers who were inclined to make them - guitarist David Gilmour and keyboard player Richard Wright were.
For his album, Wright assembled some of the backing musicians who had been accompanying Pink Floyd for years, in particular reed player Mel Collins and guitarist Snowy White.
So it was no surprise that the resulting record, Wet Dream, sounded like Pink Floyd.
Wright's keyboards had always been a major element in the Pink Floyd sound, and his singing and songwriting had also been a big part of the group's music, despite the increasing domination of Roger Waters.
On Wet Dream, he was interested in providing typically slow, contemplative, keyboard-based arrangements and singing in a becalmed, echoey voice of marital discord and escape

A beautiful LP of slow contemplative numbers and in keeping with its once played status my play-check at volume found nothing of note to fault the crystal clear, clean, warm sound - beautiful copy
