Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here (50th Anniversary) Blu-Ray Disc

Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums of All Time - Rated 264/500!

Wish You Were Here 50 gives fans an exciting new perspective into one of Pink Floyd's most iconic and best-loved records. This 50th anniversary edition features rarities and live recordings — 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 Blu-Ray includes a Dolby Atmos mix of the album 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.

"If Pink Floyd ever decides to create a Bootleg Series, they should get their hands on Millard's master tapes — starting with this 1975 Los Angeles gig. It's the band at the peak of their abilities as a live act and deserves to be heard as widely as possible." – Rolling Stone, 2021

James Guthrie's new Atmos remix of Wish You Were Here is truly excellent for the format. It's not a gimmicky technical display with shit flying around and above you. Rather, it's more like 'elevated stereo,' replicating and tastefully expanding the original mix, without forensically dissecting it and losing the album's character. It's immersive but not overwhelming. You feel each sound tangibly, yet remain at a safe distance... Throughout the album, Richard Wright's synths envelop the listener, Roger Waters' bass is fully present and never bloated, Nick Mason's drums have good balance (cymbals are especially clean), and vocals seem a little less compressed than the original stereo mix... an excellent value for any surround enthusiast.
