Notes

This version differs from another similar release in that it has the "Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here" circular "badge" on the upper left of the front cover. The badge has an image of two robot hands shaking hands, over four quadrants of different elements, surrounded by the following text in the circumference ring:
"SHINE ON YOU CRAZY DIAMOND·WELCOME TO THE MACHINE·HAVE A CIGAR·WISH YOU WERE HERE SBP 234651 ℗ © 1975 Pink Floyd Music Limited"
"SBP 234651" is upside down relative to the other text in this ring.
Released in a gatefold sleeve, and includes a postcard with an expanded version of the Mono Lake photograph inside the gatefold. On the reverse of the postcard is written in the upper left:
'"WISH YOU WERE HERE"
"OJALA ESTUVIERAS AQUI"
"ICH WUNSCHTER DU WARST HIER"
Fotographie von Hipgnosis
am Monosee California 1975'

and down the middle:
'Album sleeve insert for Pink Floyd, Wish You Were Here, CBS Records.'

The label art replicates (but not exactly) the image of the robot hands shaking from the badge on the front cover, in black and white, over a black and steel-blue background, with images of two small pyramids at 9 o'clock, and a small yellow circle at 3 o'clock.

    Sounds fine, but when compared to an original UK it's not as clear sounding

      This is what you want vinyl to sound like in your head. Warm yet sparkly and crisp. A joy.
