Pink Floyd
Wish You Were Here
This is a BRAND NEW 180g issue from Pink Floyd Records
The original cover is SEALED inside a black poly bag (see photos) . Contains the tracks;
Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Pts 1-5) Welcome to the Machine Have A Cigar Wish You Were Here Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Pts 6-9) The breakthrough success of Dark Side of the Moon made Wish You Were Here
a crucial follow-up in strictly commercial terms. Further pressure came from
it being Pink Floyd's first recording for a new label, Columbia. Yet the demands
on the band only provided Roger Waters more fodder for his lyrics, which
glanced at the band's roots as well as their new responsibilities. The
mechanized throb of a VCS3 synthesizer, fed through a repeat-echo unit,
signals the opening bars of "Welcome to the Machine," a diatribe against an
industry more concerned with money than creative music-making.
"Have a Cigar" further establishes Waters' contempt by bringing in singer
Roy Harper to play the role of a "faceless suit," who none-too-innocently
asks, "Which one's Pink?" The remaining songs indirectly look back to the first
casualty of Pink Floyd's growing fame, the group's founder, Syd Barrett.
The 20-minute-plus "Shine on You Crazy Diamond" has its roots in earlier pieces
like "Atom Heart Mother Suite" and "Echoes." But rather than just another Floydian
soundscape, its lyrics make it a paean to Barrett's genius and a requiem for his
subsequent breakdown. The first five of the song's nine movements open the
album with sax player Dick Parry wailing as effectively as he did on Dark Side of
the Moon. The final four sections, which close the album, form a reprise that
starts with the sound of wind and David Gilmour's guitar screaming and crying.
The band then settles into a laid-back jam that ends with Richard Wright's billowing
synth delicately fading out. The title track deals also with Barrett, as well as the
tension the idealist Waters was feeling in battling the greed that surrounded
the band's success. The themes of disillusionment planted throughout
Wish You Were Here would eventually sprout full-blown on The Wall. Pink Floyd: David Gilmour (vocals, guitar); Richard Wright (vocals, keyboards,
VCS3 syntheszier); Roger Waters (vocals, bass); Nick Mason (drums).
Additional personnel: Roy Harper (vocals); Dick Parry (saxophone);
Venetta Fields, Carlena Williams (background vocals).Recorded at Abbey
Road Studios, London, England from January-July 1975. Digitally r
emastered by Doug Sax (The Mastering Lab, Los Angeles, California).
