About this product

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's 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. 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. •The stereo remastered album on heavyweight 180g vinyl •Original UK date September 1975 •Certified six times platinum •Reached #1 in the UK and the US Album Tracks 1.

Every Last Leaf' is an album about life and the emotions that come along with it the good, the bad, and everything in between. It's a metaphor for the circle of life; as one leaf dies and falls off the tree, it becomes part of the Earth, feeding the very roots that gave it life and creating new life in the process. We are all infinitely unique beings, but we all share the same emotions and challenges at our core. We did our best to reflect that human experience on this record. Album Tracks 1. Every Last Leaf I 2. Beautiful 3. Distance Makes the Heart 4. River Drift 5. The Mission 6. Meant to Be 7. Do It Now 8. Fighting for 9. The Devil 10. Life Back Now 11. Collective Pulse 12. Inside 13. Slippin' in the Kitchen 14. Mushrooms of the Sea 15. Every Last Leaf II
