Notes
This version is similar but different to other Australian releases as noted below.
Side A groove matrix looks like it used to be MX174753 stamped but the 5 has been over written and replaced with a hand scratched 4.
Catalog # are displayed as follows:
SBP 234651 on front cover and spine.
SBP 234651 and PC 33453 on inside of gatefold and on labels (see images)
Unable to determine for sure if this is a 1975 1st issue or not but seems to correct according to http://www.pinkfloydarchives.com/DAuLPPF.htm#WYWH1
Postcard included with this release

Im a electronic music lover . trance , techno and house so im used to instrumental and spacey sounds . I can say 'Wish You Were Here ' album suits my taste with its unique ambient sound , synths , guitar and arrangement . i will give this first then the 'dark side of the moon ' second . This Australian press indeed is a good buy . great dynamics on my mk2 / ortofon concorde setup . This is my first Australia pressing record as most of my collection are uk / and usa . enjoy -
The follow up studio album to the incredibly successful Dark Side of the Moon, this is darker and more instrumental and most of the album is consumed by an extended piece (Shine on you Crazy Diamond - a homage to Syd Barrett) split over two sides. Some of the music acts as a bridge between the compositional style of DSOTM and The Wall and is a glimpse of how the future direction of the band. The recording quality is excellent, and this is the original pressing with the postcard. -
Serving as a sort of bridge album between Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall, this album shows a progression in musical style from the still somewhat independent though connected songs of DSOTM and the wholly integrated conceptual mastery of The Wall, and also the progression of synergy of musical ideas from each member of the band to the brilliant but sometimes troubling vision of Roger Waters. I quite like this album on its own, and really liked the included postcard. The recording quality, though not as brilliant as DSOTM is still superb and this well worn LP still sounds good.
