Wish You Were Here is the ninth studio album by the English rock band Pink Floyd, released on 12 September 1975 by Harvest Records in the United Kingdom and a day later by Columbia Records in the United States. Inspired by material the group composed while performing around Europe, Wish You Were Here was recorded during numerous recording sessions at Abbey Road Studios in London, England. Some of the songs on the album critique the music business, others express alienation and the track InchShine On You Crazy DiamondInch is a tribute to Syd Barrett, whose mental breakdown had forced him to leave the group seven years earlier after the of the group's debut studio album The Piper at the Gates of Dawn. It was also lead writer Roger Waters' idea to split InchShine On You Crazy DiamondInch into two parts and use it to bookend the album around three new compositions, introducing a new concept as the group had done with their previous album, The Dark Side of the Moon. As with The Dark Side of the Moon, the band used studio effects and synthesizers, and brought in guest singers to supply vocals on some tracks of the album. These singers were Roy Harper, who provided the lead vocals on InchHave a CigarInch, and the Blackberries, who added backing vocals to InchShine On You Crazy DiamondInch. - Wish You Were Here was an instant commercial success (despite the fact that Harvest Records' parent company EMI was unable to print enough copies of the album to satisfy commercial demand), and although it initially received mixed reviews, the album has since gone on to receive critical acclaim. It appears on Rolling Stone's lists of InchThe 500 Greatest Albums of All TimeInch and the Inch50 Greatest Prog Rock Albums of All TimeInch. Band members Richard Wright and David Gilmour have cited Wish You Were Here as their favourite Pink Floyd album, and many critics and fans have considered

We really went back to the essence of what defined us in the first place,Inch says front-man Klaus Meine. He goes on to explain how the new songs came to have such incredible, fresh energy and fervor InchWe recorded the album as a band, live, in one room, like we did back in the Eighties. We can't wait to get started and finally play for our fans again.Inch The sound of the new album has massive energy, delivers a real adrenaline rush and shows uncompromising quality. The record consists of awesome tracks, each one of them a lyrical short story, minimal poems in prose, presented in a lavish sonic guise, featuring The Scorpions' characteristic trademarks from the early 1980s, yet produced from a 2020s perspective. The wealth of inspiration from their longstanding career is an overflowing treasure chest that forges an arc between yesterday and tomorrow. Rock Believer is perhaps the group's most characteristic album to date - a recording by a band at the pinnacle of their musical art. LP Packaging 180-gram LP includes 11 tracks. Album Tracks 1.
