Pink Floyd – Wish You Were Here

My copy has a MISPRESS = 2 B-sides labels! Is there anybody else here?

Just listen to welcome to the machine and its clear why this is the best pressing of wywh. This pressing has everything going for it except the price and scarcity. Lucky I have a near mint copy in perfect condition. Grab it if you see one for sale. Most record collectors will not sell their copies so you need to really hunt for it.

More S/N than to be expected and the low-end feels thin. Sounds great other than that, but not an elite pressing, IMHO.

Finally got both the Dark Side and The Wall immersion editions because of the cool bonus CDs and DVD content. This one seems a bit lacking in comparison so I held off for now. I’m assuming the absence of multiple bonus audio discs has something to do with this record being the quickest to record compared to Dark Side/The Wall (less demos, early versions/mixes, etc).

my copy blows away the second UK pressing, in case anybody is wondering. Immesnse soundstage here, punchy, nice high end, rumbles when it should down below 70, so everything is well represented. My copy also plays almost as silently. Very dynamic pressing, i couldn't believe how terrible the UK pressing i got sounded, looked NM too, but like a tea cloth was thrown over the speakers. Denon DP 67L with a 103D.

I’m so happy I got this. The remastering really gives this new life and blows the doors off the first pressings, in my humble opinion. If this is one of your favorite Pink Floyd albums, like it is mine, you should experience this pressing. Very robust and lush. Every subtle detail can be heard with crystal clarity. You won’t be disappointed.

⭐ Do yourself a favor and listen to a relatively clean early pressing before buying this pressing. The tone, clarity, soundstage, and vocals are all at a higher level. This pressing has quieter vinyl, that's true, but it comes at a sonic cost to the actual music.

50 years old this thing and still sounds beautiful !

I have 8 copies of Wish You Were Here in their (original) opened black shrink wraps with their circular stickers on the front. They vary from early pressings to later (1980s?) presses. If anyone is interested please message me.

I feel that the Aussie Quad Wish You Were here may have been withdrawn because of the pressing stuff-up at the end of Side One. It's certainly not as common as the other two Australian Quad pressings.
